How do you say goodbye to a force of nature? Corey Sandlin, or Chainsaw, as he was known in the haunted house industry, loved to shock people, whether he was using his razor-sharp wit or throwing himself at unfortunate visitors of the haunted house. He has shocked us all again with his sudden passing.

Corey had a gentle soul that he took great pains to hide from people, but a few of us were able to get a glimpse. He loved kids, dogs, White Castle, TV, and disgustingly sweet snacks. In life, he occupied 6'4" of physical space. In death, he leaves us with a hole in our hearts as big as the universe.

Corey is survived by his mother, Cherri Sandlin; father, Steve (Toni) Bowers; brother, Cole Bowers; aunts and uncles, Kathy (Joe) Wagner, Gail Suell, Mike (Kim) Sandlin, Debbie Daub, and Cris (Anna) Sandlin; and many cousins, other relatives, and friends.

Visitation will be from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 14, 2022, at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions (3309 Ballard Lane, New Albany). His Funeral Service will be at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday at the funeral home.
