Corey Wayne Varnadoe, age 43, of Lumber City, passed away on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah.

Corey was born on May 4, 1982, in Vidalia, and spent his entire life in Lumber City. He was a graduate of Jeff Davis High School and attended Helena Baptist Church. He lived life with a spirit of adventure and joy. He enjoyed golf, skydiving, snow skiing, and spending time with his children—his greatest blessing. He loved watching their baseball and football games and never missed a chance to cheer them on. Corey had a good heart, and a love for joking and laughing that brought joy to those around him.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Earl and Lettie Mae Varnadoe; and his maternal grandparents, William and Mary Ann Willett.

Corey is survived by his parents, Wayne and Diana Varnadoe of Lumber City; his fiancé, Emily Warren of McRae; his sons, Brayden Miles of Baxley, Jaxon Varnadoe, and Grayson Varnadoe, both of McRae; his daughters, Reagan Long (Hadley) of Jesup, and Ava Varnadoe of McRae; and his sisters, Whitley Taylor and Tina Varnadoe, both of Lumber City.

Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.

Burial will follow in the Fishing Creek Cemetery.
