"Fear not, for I am with you... I will strengthen you and help you."
Isaiah 41:10

Corey’s unexpected passing is a cut too deep and too close to the heart of the Medic Materials family.

Corey was the best EMS partner I ever had. For seven years, across two different agencies, we worked side by side. He was there as I grew from EMT, to Intermediate, to Paramedic. But more than a partner, Corey was a dear friend.

From our “woo-off” at WrestleMania, to hearing him yell “2 more in the door” after a simple trip to Five Guys, to watching the love between him and Emily grow and flourish, Corey brought joy, laughter, and love everywhere he went. He was even the inspiration behind “DONUTS” on the podcast.

Corey touched more lives than I could ever put into words. Gerard, Butch, Phil, Mike, Kelsey, and most importantly Emily, will never be the same without him.

I find comfort knowing he is watching over each of us now, caring for us in a new way, just as he always did here on earth. I find comfort knowing he will be remembered for his selflessness, his love, his incredible humor, and most of all, his smile.

Rest easy, Corey. We love you. We miss you. And we will carry you with us always.

For those who wish to support Emily during this time of grief, donations may be made to Ravena Rescue Squad in Corey’s name:

What happens when your body never leaves fight or flight mode for years?

EMS providers are trained to survive chaos, but nobody teaches us how to recover from it.

In this episode of the Medic Materials Podcast, we break down:
🚑 EMS burnout
🧠 PTSD & chronic cortisol exposure
💔 Relationship strain & emotional disconnect
⚠️ Su***de and mental health statistics in first responders
🔥 Why EMS cannot become your entire identity
👊 How providers, spouses, families, and agencies can actually start fixing the problem

This is probably one of the rawest and most important conversations we’ve had yet.

Because eventually the pager goes silent for all of us… and you better know who you are without it.
