Kory Lane Secrest, 26, of Houston, died on Aug. 16, 2018 surrounded by his loving family and girlfriend in Odessa. Kory was born on Dec. 10, 1991 in San Antonio to Mark and Sonya Gonzalez Secrest. Kory was the middle son of two sisters, Tamara Nicole Null and Mary Frances Secrest. He was a wonderfully loving father to Adyson Elise Stiftinger Secrest, 6. Kory lived a life full of energy, joy, and excitement as he made his presence known everywhere he went. He had the gift of being able to build friendships each and every place he went into and bring laughter to all of those around him. Kory had a special sense of humor where he would make you want to scream and smile all at the same time. Kory had the ability to love those around him deeply and whole heartedly. His strongest value was his family and he ensured he did all he could to provide for them. He was most recently working in West Texas advancing his career in the oil and gas field. His charismatic personality allowed him to be an outstanding father to his daughter Adyson. Anyone who was around Adyson and Kory could feel the unconditional love they had for one another.
