The
simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Corey. Corey loved the Lord and
loved to sing. He was a people person. He loved being around and amongst people.
Corey had an uncanny ability to find happiness in everything he set his mind.
Even as a child, Corey has never been afraid of work and helping others. Corey's
height unmatched the plights he made on his family and friends and all the people
who knew him, unmatched by his lasting mark of love, laughter, and lively vigor,
he impacted so many and even those who did not have the privilege to know him
intimately.
Corey was known for always saying, " I'm just trying to shake back!" "Already!"
" What it Do?" He would always tell his late Auntie Marjorie (Sister) I want some
homemade chocolate chip cookies and homemade biscuits.
Corey made an impact on everyone he came in contact with.
Everyone who knew Corey knew that he had a kind and loving
heart, and that he loved his family very much.
Corey leaves his legacy of strength and everlasting love to his stepfather, Sidney
Whitmore, who preceded him in death, and his father Bobby James Waller, mother,
Marguerite Lorraine Whitmore, brother Michael Howard, and his children: Kori
Howard-Muhammad, Kyah Howard-Muhammad, Firas Howard-Muhammad, Siraj
Howard-Muhammad, Kellsie Howard, Kai Howard, and Darren Howard all of
Houston, TX. He also leaves to mourn, three sisters, Maegan Waller of Dallas, TX,
Tonisha Waller of Haynesville, LA, and Chivon Waller of Spokane, Washington.
