Cory K Bohn, our beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 17th, 2024 at his home. Cory showed love to all those around him. He would do anything for anyone. Especially his nieces and nephews, who he loved like his own. His humorous and sarcastic personality will be dearly missed.
Born in Cedar City on July 24, 1977, he was the son of Garth and Linda Bohn. He grew up on the east side of Cedar City, Utah in the best neighborhood. He went to East Elementary School, followed by Cedar Middle School and Cedar High School where he gave his parents a run for their money. Cory was an avid sports player growing up. Some would call him the “coaches favorite”. Baseball, specifically, had a special place in his heart. His baseball career started in t-ball, and then little league where he was an allstar player. He played all the way up until he was 13 where his career came to an end when he injured his shoulder and had to have rotator cuff surgery. However, this never changed his love for the game.
Cory was an extremely hard worker. He worked many different jobs throughout his life, from framing to FedEx to construction jobs. Some jobs took Cory back east for a few years of his life. Ultimately, he moved back to Cedar City where he grew fond of the petroleum industry. He was employed by Jenkins Oil and Senergy Petroleum. He was dedicated to these companies for almost 22 years. Cory enjoyed a variety of hobbies. Golfing was one of his favorite pastimes. He participated in the men’s league at Cedar Ridge Golf Course. You could always find him on the course with his brothers, nieces, nephews, and good friends in his spare time. Cory had a passion for hunting and fishing. He loved to hunt for deer and elk at our cabin on Cedar Mountain with family and friends.
Cory was always up for a family vacation. We may have had to drag him to Disneyland a few times, but always promised him a baseball game or two in return. However, Mr. Fun always had to be the one wearing a different color jersey and root for the opposing team. Mexico was another favorite of his, always with his fedora hat on and a frilly drink in hand. Additionally, Cory never turned down a trip to Phoenix to go to the horse races. We will cherish the memories we have made with him forever. Although he never really loved the thought of traveling, he loved to spend time with and be with his family.
He is survived by his parents, Garth and Linda, his brothers, Jeff (Natalie) and Casey (Vannessa), his nieces and nephews, Kenadee, Karson, Denym and Landon Bohn and Kage, Jake and Gracey Christensen. His death is deeply mourned by all of his family and friends.
We are overwhelmed and grateful for the amount of kindness, love, and support we have been shown during this difficult time. There will be a celebration of life held at a later date for his family and friends in his honor. Final arrangements are under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary.
