Corey Walter Sharp passed away peacefully on January 28, 2026, at the age of 36.

The youngest of three brothers, Corey is survived by his father, Walter Sharp and Cathy; his mother, Marilyn Gordon and Carl; and his two older brothers, Josh and Kevin. He is also survived by several stepbrothers and stepsisters, many aunts and uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. His nephew, Walker Gordon, held a very special place in his heart.

Corey was preceded in death by his grandparents, Lyndon and Florence Sharp, and Carl and Nena Pinter.

Born in Grass Valley, Corey graduated from Bear River High School in 2007 and attended Sierra College. He was known for his kind heart, amazing sense of humor, in-depth knowledge of many subjects, love for all dogs, adventurous spirit, skilled hands, and deep appreciation for the outdoors.

Growing up in the foothills of Northern California, some of Corey’s favorite times were spent backpacking with his dad and brothers in Grouse Ridge, snowboarding in the winter, and wakeboarding behind the family boat during the summer.

Corey was a talented skateboarder and also enjoyed spending time playing and competing on the disc golf course with friends.

He loved spending time outdoors hunting, practicing archery, and fishing along the Northern California coast.

Corey spent many years working side by side with his dad in the family cabinet shop, where he developed a strong eye for craftsmanship and design.

He will be remembered for the adventures he shared with family, the quiet pride he took in learning new skills, and the kindness he showed to those around him.

The mountains, the ocean, and the workbench were places where Corey felt most at home, and the memories made there will remain with those who loved him.

The most important part of Corey’s life journey is that he received Jesus Christ as his Savior. It is a comfort to those who share Corey’s faith, knowing we will see him again in heaven.

He will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him.

A celebration of Corey’s life will be held Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Crossroads Church, 10056 Wolf Road, Grass Valley, California. A lunch reception and time to visit with family and friends will follow.

All who knew Corey are welcome to attend.
