It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the tragic passing of Cory Crow, a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend, who lost his life in a fatal car accident in the early hours of the morning. Cory was only 31 years old, and his sudden departure has left his family, friends, and the New Smyrna Beach community devastated by a loss that came far too soon.
Cory was a proud resident of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where he built meaningful relationships and lasting friendships through his kind and genuine nature. A graduate of DeLand High School, Cory carried with him many of the values formed during his early years, including loyalty, compassion, and a deep appreciation for the people in his life. Those who knew him remember a warm presence, an easy smile, and a heart that was always open to others.
Family was the foundation of Cory’s life. He was a devoted and loving son, a supportive brother, and a deeply cherished uncle. His bond with his nephew, Jadon, was especially meaningful. The two shared a friendship rooted in trust, laughter, and unconditional love. To Jadon, Cory was more than an uncle—he was a best friend, a role model, and a constant source of encouragement. Cory’s passing leaves an immeasurable void in the life of a young boy who adored him.
Cory’s gentle spirit, loyalty, and compassion touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He had a natural ability to make others feel valued and heard, offering comfort through both words and quiet presence. Whether spending time with family, enjoying moments with friends, or simply being there when someone needed support, Cory lived with sincerity and grace.
As the family navigates this unimaginable loss, they ask for continued prayers, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time. They especially request prayers for their parents, whose hearts are broken, and for Jadon, who is grieving the loss of someone so central to his world. In the midst of their sorrow, the family leans on their faith, trusting that Jesus will be their peace and strength through this storm.
Cory Crow will be remembered with deep love and affection by all who knew him. Though his life was tragically cut short, his legacy lives on in the memories he created, the love he shared, and the lives he touched. May he rest in eternal peace, and may his family find comfort in the prayers and compassion surrounding them.
