BIGRAS, Corey – Entered into rest at Hamilton General Hospital on Monday, May 23, 2022. Corey, aged 46, was the hero and loving dad to Nolan and cherished son of Debbie and Mike Bigras (Patti). Dear brother to Jeffrey and his daughter Olivia; stepbrother to Shannon; and predeceased by his grandmother (Dorothy) and grandfather (William).
A proud father, Corey’s world revolved around his son. As soon as Nolan was old enough to hold his first plastic Blue Jays baseball bat and skate without falling, Corey signed up to be his baseball and hockey coach.
Over the years, he not only championed his son’s passion for sports, but made a lasting impact on all the other kids he mentored. Even when Corey wasn’t in the dugout or on the hockey bench, he never ever missed any of Nolan’s games.
In their downtime, Corey and Nolan (15 years old) also loved taking long country drives together, listening to old records and 90's alternative music, and watching a Leafs game over a plate of wings.
To know Corey was to love him, and he will be greatly missed by his many friends. A former bodybuilder, Corey had a big, strong physique that often masked what a teddy bear he was inside. His quick wit, sense of humour, and hearty laugh will never be forgotten.
In keeping with Corey’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will take on Saturday, June 25, 2022 from 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm at the Tin Cup Sports Grill, 1831 Walker's Line, Burlington, ON L7M 0H6. If desired, a memorial donation can be made to Minor Sports Programs or a charity of your choice.
