Kory was born April 13, 1978, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Kathy Randolph and Kevin Tubbs.

An amazing husband, father, son, brother, and uncle, Kory loved his family immensely. His absolute pride and joy were his daughters, Avery and Addison. He would gladly talk your ear off to brag about them and all of their accomplishments. He was always and forever will be proud of them.

Kory was a graduate of Bowling Green State University with a degree in criminal justice.

Kory was a great photographer and was the owner of Tubbs Photography. He loved being able to share that talent with so many people over the years. From sporting events to family gatherings to engagements and weddings, he was always capturing memories. He had a passion for creating special and unique personalized photographic gifts to many family and friends.

Kory loved sports and was an absolute fan of soccer. He played competitively in his youth and continued to play throughout his adult life. Not only did he play, but he coached countless youth soccer teams over the years. In addition to coaching youth soccer, he even dabbled in youth volleyball coaching. This past season he helped Avery coach the Western Reserve sixth-grade basketball team to an undefeated season.

Kory has been a long-standing member of the Western Reserve Endowment Fund. He volunteered every year at their annual golf outing and helped make it successful each and every year.

Kory had an amazing singing voice and even sang at his sister, Lacey's, wedding. Kory also had a great sense of humor, even if it was inappropriate at times. He was always ready with a joke or a movie quote. He just loved to make people laugh.
