Donald M. Cordrey, 58, of Crestline, passed away Sunday, January 1, 2017 at his home surrounded by his loved ones.
Don was born in Crestline on May 3, 1958 to the late Carl R. and Agnes O. (Weaver) Cordrey, Sr. He married Shirley Yeager on July, 19, 1983 and she survives him.
He was a paramedic for 34 years and he loved every minute of it. He also taught CPR, first aide, and ACLS. Many would say his classes were unforgettable. He was so funny. He always had a joke to tell. He was a kind, loving man who would do anything for anyone. His true passion was helping people. He would ask that you not cry for him but to celebrate his life. He had a good life!
He is survived by his wife, Shirley Cordrey; his daughter, Amanda (Ben) Cordrey-White; two sons, James Mullins and David (Summer) Mullins, Jr.; ten grandchildren whom he adored; four brothers, two sisters, and several cousins, nieces, nephews, and so many friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother, father, brother and sister.
A celebration of life will be held at 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 6, 2017 at the St. Joseph Convocation Center, 333 N. Thoman St., Crestline. Memorial contributions may be made to the family in care of the funeral home.
