Cory Ray Hoskins, 37, of Arlington, TX died on Thursday, July 26, 2018. Cory was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma to Charles Ray, Jr. & Kathryn Vey (Parsons) Hoskins on May 10, 1981.

Since 2007, Cory worked as a technician with Walker Engineering-installing the integral electrical components at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Perot Museum of Science and Nature, Scottish Rite Hospital, and Huguley Hospital, among others. When not working, Cory found pleasure in freehand drawing, watching movies, and carving out time to repair his (and his friend's) vehicles. Cory lived a life of stubborn tenacity, raw-knuckle worth ethic, rarely showing emotions other than strength and the will to be a fighter. He loved his family & friends, with a realness and deepness that was palpable to all who knew Cory.
