On May 17, 1969, my baby boy Corey Dabrain Atkins was born to Earline Atkins and Ferman Hunt, Jr. in Houston, Texas. Clarence Bailey adopted Corey when he was 2 years old. In 1976, we moved to San Diego, California. At a young age Corey accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. He attended Church of the Lord God under the pastorate of Harvey Jones Sr.
Corey attended Perry Elementary, Marshall Junior High, and graduated from Kearny High School. Corey worked several jobs over the years. His last place of employment was at Pacira for several years.
Corey loved to Bar-B-Que and was beginning to be a great baker. He tried to out bake his mom and made a couple of items after he bet her. He also loved to share his cooking with everyone he encountered and would call and tell you he was bringing you something.
Corey was called home to be with the Lord on January 27, 2024.
Corey was preceded in death by his grandparents; Cliff and Erenstine Atkins, his Aunt Cleo Wallace, and Cordell Bailey.
Left to cherish his memories are his mother and father Earline and Clarence Bailey, two
brothers; Darrell Bailey (Angela) and Dale Bailey, two daughters; Felicia Westry (Larry) and Anessah Bailey – aka “Sunshine”, his two sons; Caydin O’Shae Hunt-Bailey and Chimair Hunt-Bailey, his former wife Tara Bailey (the mother of his daughter Aneesah), along with a host of nieces, nephews, three granddaughters, and many friends and love ones.
