Sad note in Gate City

Cory McMelroy, a 1995 graduate of Gate City High School, passed away Monday morning at Wellmont Holston Valley Medical Center following a brief illness. He wore #70 on the football team. He attend UVA of Wise for two years and lettered in football. He leaves behind two sons. I am not sure of the exact cause but I heard something about heart complications. Let's remember this family in our prayers.

Sad news in deed...I graduated with his Sister...The Family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Sad to see so many young passing-makes us stop and think. Our next breath isn't promised to us. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and community.

I agree it is extremely sad. I had gotten to know him at church a few months ago. He had come with a buddy who he worked with, that goes to our church, and he had brought his 2 sons. He was on our prayer list after finding out he had a heart condition. Please keep him, his family, and especially his two young sons in your prayers folks. He seemed like an awfully nice fella what little I was around him.

I really hate to hear that. He is with the Lord now.

A TRULY SAD NOTE INDEED.MAY HIS FAMILY,FRIENDS,AND COMMUNITY BE IN ALL OUR PRAYERS.

Lord Lord. This is the kind of news i hate to hear or see. May the Lord bless and comfort the family and friends and community.

I played with Corey, he was a great dude. Funny as can be, went in for a surgery, and had an unfortunate turn of events. He will be missed.

Very sad to hear, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
