This is a hard post 💔
Cory Cortese, you were such a huge part of PCF for many, many, MANY years. You weren’t just a member—you were part of the family & especially the 5am’ers not only inside the gym, but out!
The only reason Cory ever quit CrossFit was because he had to, not because he wanted to. His body simply wouldn’t let him keep doing what he loved, and that was hard on him and hard on all of us. We missed having him here more than he probably ever knew!
Cory was one of our biggest cheerleaders. Always encouraging someone, always rooting for everyone, and always bringing something special into the gym.
Coop & Kristin, we are so incredibly sorry. Please know how loved Cory was by his PCF family and how many memories we have with him inside these walls.
And we know one thing for sure… the second Cory made it through those big pearly gates, he found the BIG box and jumped on top of it. 🧡
Rest easy, Cory.
Once PCF family, always PCF family. 🤍💪
