Cory was born on June 3, 1981, in Beaver Dam, WI, son of Jerry Schultz and Carla (Kohlmeyer) Gilbertson. He was a man full of life, laughter, and love. Cory was known for his vibrant personality; he was truly the life of the party. His infectious sense of humor brought joy to those around him, always making people laugh and smile.

He pursued various certifications, including Industrial Refrigeration Operator I, Introduction to Industrial Maintenance, and Introduction to Welding. Throughout his career, Cory explored many different fields, finding opportunities in Maintenance, Roofing, Mechanics, and as an electrician. He was always skilled with his hands; if something needed building or fixing, Cory was the go-to person who could make anything run again.

Cory had a wide range of hobbies and interests that reflected his life. He loved spending time fishing on his pontoon boat, watching football while rooting for the Packers, and riding his Harley. Snowmobiling and playing pool were also among his favorite pastimes. Above all, he cherished the moments spent with his kids and family, creating lasting memories that will forever be held dear.

Cory's cheerful spirit and bright smile lit up every room he entered. He was a beloved friend and family member who could turn a dull day into an adventure.
