STAFF SGT. COREY LAVALLE BUSBY

I was so excited to have Corey join the FSS. His positive, can do attitude made him a pillar in the organization...everybody loved him! I will miss his radiant smile and his welcoming personality. I feel blessed to have known him and to all of his family and friends please accept my condolences. I know God has a plan and is using Corey’s many talents for His glory!

I first met Corey when I took a full time position at Selfridge, where I work upstairs from where he does. He was one of the first people to try and get to know me a little bit. (Which once I mentioned being prior Army as well, he really opened up.) I looked forward to when I had to go see him for business, because he always had something funny to say...or he would take a moment from his busy schedule to talk about life in general. Corey was such a pleasant person to be around, whether it was a one on one conversation, or he was teaching a class. I feel so blessed to have had the chance to know him. I send my sincerest condolences to his family, friends and coworkers during this difficult time.

Corey and I met and became family when he joined our unit at Selfridge. The years that followed were the greatest. Not a day, maybe not even an hour, ever went by without him messing with one of us. I am so going to miss him sifting through my lunch/snack bag and trying to run off with the best parts (yet he’d never actually take them when I told him to), our chit chats about anything and everything from food to family to football to what’s going on in the world, the way he could tell a story, how he couldn’t keep a straight face when pulling your leg no matter how hard he tried, his always positive attitude, his kindness, his beautiful smile and silly laugh. To his family, thank you for sharing him with us. I hold you all in my thoughts and my prayers. Corey, I love you so much and you better have that jerk chicken waiting for me.
