Cory Leo Lamb was born December 21, 1991 to Alfred and Melinda (Lamb) Richards in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  He was baptized at St. Cornelia’s Episcopal Church.  Cory attended elementary and high school in Willmar.  Cory was full of jokes, laughs and had a great sense of humor until the end.  He joked and laughed every day.  Even when he was in pain, his laughter was contagious.  His smile was his best feature, although he was so handsome.  Cory was always singing out loud and dancing to any beat.  He enjoyed cars and working on them, taking them apart and putting them back together.  Cory was a naturally gifted mechanic.  He was also known as a jack of all trades.  Cory loved fishing with his kids and going to the park with them.  He would give you the shirt off his back.  His love for food was a big part of his life!  Cory loved his family, especially their get-togethers and cookouts.  He will be dearly missed by all he touched.
