Beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, grandson, and friend, Cory Repp, 33, went to be with the Lord after a three-year battle with brain cancer. Born and raised in Bellevue, WA, Cory also lived in Guatemala from age 12-14. There he learned to speak Spanish and made lifelong friends. He graduated from B.E.S.T High School (2001) and Bellevue College (2007), with degrees in graphics animation and video production. He enjoyed a career as a graphic designer. In 2004 he met his future wife, Kathryn, while working for a local TV show. They quickly became best friends and enjoyed the remainder of their college years together. They were married in 2008 and blessed with two beautiful daughters,Alessia and Eliana. Being a daddy and husband were Cory's greatest joys. Shortly after his 30th birthday he was diagnosed with cancer. A fighter, he tried everything he could to stay here with us and greatly desired to watch his daughters grow up. Cory loved to live life – to create, design, cook, and enjoy everything around him. He loved music, children, animals, snowboarding, skating, chicken wings, video games, good beer, soccer, and, most importantly, Jesus. He was a “collector”—bottle caps, records, video consoles/games, keyboards, shoes, hats...He was a very gifted artist, musician, athlete, and comedian. He enjoyed sharing his gifts with others and loved his family and friends. His greatest desire was that everyone would know Jesus and have him as their personal savior. Cory was well loved and will be greatly missed. Predeceased by his father, Richard, Cory is survived by his loving wife, Kathryn and their precious daughters, Alessia and Eliana; mother, Kristine; brother, Jacob (Lindsey); parents-in-law, Dave and Connie; brothers-in-law, David, Joseph and Mitchell (Ayumi); nieces, Sierra and Emily; nephew, Noah; and a large extended family. The celebration of life is Saturday, February 20, 2016, 3 p.m., at Calvary Fellowship, 23302 56th Ave W., Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043.
