Cory Phillip Collins was born May 11, 1989, to David and Barbara Collins. He was the middle child of three boys, but he was definitely revered as the wisest among his siblings. His brothers, Chris and Cody, always looked up to him and admired the self-assured way he carried himself.

Cory was an engineer with the Pine Bluff Fire and Emergency Services at Fire Station 6. He took great pride in being able to help those that needed assistance. He loyally dedicated nine years of his life to serving others.

He was fun hearted and loved others with his whole heart. Cory was the rock of his family and the glue that held everyone together. He left behind his soulmate, Lindsey Collins, whom he lovingly referred to as “Little” throughout their relationship and three years of marriage, a time that was cut all too short.

Cory was, without question, Mr. Fix It. If his Little had her heart set on a project, he would make it happen, regardless of whether he truly wanted to take on said project. He loved fixing up his truck more than just about anything else. Summer days spent with the windows rolled down driving to the beach were one of his favorite things.

Cory leaves to cherish his memory a deeply grieving family and many friends that miss him dearly. Life will never be the same for those who knew and loved Cory best.
