It is with great sadness that Cory’s family announces his passing on October 16, 2025 at the age of 46. Cory was a lifelong Maple Ridge area resident.
Cory came into this world with a bright spirit. Those who knew him remember his wit, his warm smile, and the way he could make others laugh even on their hardest days. He was an avid reader and enjoyed watching Jeopardy where he would put his knowledge to test. And Cory loved eating good food!
Life didn’t always come easy to Cory, he faced struggles, and his journey was marked with challenges. He did things his way and sometimes that resulted in happiness or sadness. We choose to remember the brightness he brought to our lives.
Cory leaves behind many who loved him including his father Jin, mother, Karen and sisters Shauna (Primo) and Joanna (Ryan) and his beloved niece and nephews Mikalah, Anthony and Benjamin, his Grandma, Tena Kenkel and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Cory was predeceased by his Grandparents Amrik and Harbijan Khunkhun and his Grandpa, Ben Kenkel. He also leaves behind a circle of longtime friends who loved him and will forever carry his memory.
A Celebration of Cory’s life will take place on Friday, November 7, 2025 at 2:00 pm at Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel (11969 216 Street, Maple Ridge).

Hi Cor,
Loving you was never a choice. Not in this or any other lifetime but if it was I would do it all over again. You were everything to me. You were my enemy, my best friend, my worst nightmare, my greatest love and my wisest teacher. I learned more from you about life in the 10 crazy years that I knew you then I did in all the other years I was alive. I'm still learning from you, maybe more now then ever. You are a gift to this world. 🤍 Thank you for loving me in all the ways you did. You gave me the gift of understanding what unconditional love is, a gift not many will ever know in there lifetime. You taught me all the different kinds of love that exist. Sometimes it almost killed me and other times it was a bliss I have never known. It's been the strangest thing losing you because I feel you with me in every piece of my soul. I feel you wash over me like ocean waves filling me with peace and joy everytime I think of you. Everything I didn't see before is so clear now. It breaks my heart in only the best possible ways..but I don't need to explain anything anymore because I know you know what I mean and what you meant and mean to me. I'll see you at the top my Babes...I might have won survivor down here but you beat me to heaven. Nice moves Mi Amigo 🌠 🤜🤍🤛 That's all I got 🫂 I'll see you soon xoxo
Eternal Love,
Shan

I will miss Cory's energy, enthusiasm and joy of life. I hope to pass on to Benjamin the love of Calvin and Hobbes that Cory and I both have. And whenever I make mashed potatoes, I will think of Cory. Love, Aunty T.
