Corey A. Yatsky Jr.

YATSKY – Corey A. Jr., 21, South Fork, died as the result of a motorcycle accident August 4, 2022. Born February 22, 2001, in Johnstown.

Preceded in death by maternal grandfather, William Burkett Sr.; uncle, Shawn Yatsky; cousin, Stephanie, and two miscarried babies.

Survived by parents, Corey A. Yatsky Sr. (Amanda); Jennifer L. (née Burkett) Yatsky (Todd); paternal grandparents, Theresa Paulson; and Harry Paul Yatsky (Sue); maternal grandmother, Barbara Burkett; sisters, Alexa and Jackie; brothers, Dallas, Dalton, and Blake; stepbrothers, Gabe and Derek; fiancée, Shaileen Marie Berkheimer, her son, David, and her sister, Josslynn; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and many other beloved family and friends.

Corey graduated from Forest Hills High School and GJC&TC in 2019 and was a hardworking welder with Corle Building Systems, Inc., Imler. He was a young man full of inspiration, aspiration, and determination. Each morning he set out to be a better person than he was the night before. Without fear or embarrassment, he shared his unconditional love and big goofy heart with those around him. An adventurer at heart, he could often be found in the outdoors or riding dirt bikes. Whether he was working in the garage with his dad, playing games with David, sitting around a campfire with Shaileen, or hanging out with YOU... Corey was happiest surrounded in his circle of family and friends.

Friends will be received from 1 p.m. until time of service at 6 p.m. Saturday August 6th at Charles O. Dimond Funeral Home, Inc., South Fork; the Reverend Kirk Rowland presiding.
