Corey was born on April 27, 1955, at Ellsworth Air Force Base, SD, to Wilhelm and Sylvia Schuler Eisenbraun. He spent time growing up in Wall, SD, but spent most of his life in Bismarck with his parents and siblings, where he graduated from Bismarck High School in 1973. On July 1, 1978, Corey married Carmen Dinkins in Dunn Center, ND, and they went on to make their home in Bismarck. Corey went to work for MDU at Heskett Power Plant and had spent the past 36 years working there. Corey and Carmen welcomed three wonderful children into this world during their 35 years of marriage: Roy born in 1979, Wyatt born in 1983, and Elon born in 1985. Corey spent much of his childhood doing the things he loved. He was an outdoorsman from the start, whether it was duck hunting, deer hunting, fishing, or camping with his family which he did quite often growing up and continued throughout his 35 years of marriage, passing that love on to his children. He also had a love for bowling which he had spent the last 20 plus years doing, and in recent years bowled alongside all three of his children and his two daughters-in-law. He also enjoyed helping his grandparents out on the farm as well as working at the Wall Drug store in South Dakota. Prior to his marriage and years afterwards, he was a great help to his father-in-law helping him around the farm as well. Corey was always a hard worker and took care of his family, but he also took the time to enjoy life and help his family and friends, as well as enjoying the time he could spend with his children, grandchildren, daughter-in-laws, his parents, brother, sister, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, some very special nieces and nephews, as well as his extended family. But most of all he was blessed with and enjoyed 35 wonderful years of marriage and the time he spent with his wife. Corey is survived by his wife, Carmen, Bismarck; sons, Roy Deodar, Bismarck, and Wyatt Serina, Riverdale; daughter, Elon, Bismarck; parents, Wilhelm and Sylvia, Bismarck; brother, Calvin Tina Eisenbraun, Bismarck; sister, Crystal Murray Lawrence, Steinbach, Manitoba; sisters/brothers-in-law, Paulette Don Robison, Riverdale, Mary Jerry Bauer, Mandan, Robyn Terry Helgeson, Bismarck, and Reyne Daryl Dukart, Dunn Center; two granddaughters, Leighera and Brielle, Bismarck; one grandson, Declan, Bismarck; his in-laws, Paul and Beryl Dinkins, Bismarck; numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces/nephews; and four goddaughters, Laura Shuler, Spearfish, SD, Carolyn Lawrence, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Shirley Manifold, Hazen, ND, and Jamie Bauer, Mandan, ND. All of who he truly and deeply loved, and will be deeply missed by all. Corey was preceded in death by his grandparents, Erhardt and Helen Eisenbraun, Edward and Viola Schuler; granddaughter, Daralyse Eisenbraun; grandparents-in-law, Polly and Chesley Dinkins, Roy and Loye Odren Whitaker; and step-grandfather-in-law, Jess Whitaker.
