Corey was born on July 8, 1987 in Marshfield, the son of Jeffrey and Beverly (Schraeder) Joswiak. He was a graduate of Stratford High School.  On August 9, 2014, Corey was united in marriage to Amanda Stuttgen in Stratford and to this union a beautiful daughter was born.  They later divorced. 

His hobbies included spending time outdoors especially deer hunting in bow season and rifle season, attending social events with family and friends and spending time with his sidekick “Johnny”, his horse that was Corey’s pride and joy.  For those that knew him, Corey was always willing to help those in need whether it was a neighbor needing help baling hay, welding a broken part on a tractor for someone or making a halter for someone’s horse.  He will be sadly missed.
