YouTubers Mourn the Loss of Corey La Barrie

YouTubers come together to mourn the death of 25 year old Corey La Barrie, who’s life was cut short after a drunk driving incident involving Ink Master’s contestant Daniel Silva. 

This past week has been rough for the YouTube community, especially the close friends of YouTube Star Corey La Barrie. If you have lost someone close to you, then you know support and love from those around you are what keeps you going during those difficult times, and the YouTube community has done just that. 

Over the past couple of days, family and friends of La Barrie have been honoring his livelihood by sharing their favorite memories of him on Instagram and Twitter. 

On May 12, his long-time friend and YouTube partner Crawford Collins shared a lengthy and heartwarming post on Instagram paying tribute to his best friend. 

“Corey, you were my brother/best friend/channel partner and one crazy motherfucker. From the the 1st day I met you you’ve done nothing but push me to be a better person and help me out any chance you had. Anytime i needed help with a video or had no money to call an uber or needed a place to stay you were always the 1st one to help me out and the same would go for any of your friends that needed the same.” 

Collins and La Barrie launched their YouTube collab channel called Corey & Crawford in July 2019. Crawford continued his post by describing the influencer as a “supportive friend” who pushed him to constantly stay on top of his game, wishing they could have had more time to accomplish all the big plans they had.  

“I’m gonna miss you yelling at me to “edit the video!” or you asking me “did you send in the footage?” and I wish more than anything that we could have accomplished all the big plans that we had for the future.”

He finished his post by thanking him for impacting his and his friends lives. On May 15, Collins posted a video to their collab channel to share his thoughts on how much Corey La Barrie meant to him as a friend. 

Alongside Crawford, close friends of La Barrie like Kian Lawley, Franny Arrieta, Bobby Mares, and Nezza also commemorated the volgger via Instagram and Twitter with multiple posts. 

Longtime friends and roommates, Chelsey Maro and Jc Caylen who launched a collab TikTok with Crawford and La Barrie on March 25 shared beautiful messages remembering their friendship on their socials and channels. 

Chelsey shared short clips of her and La Barrie on Instagram thanking her fans for all of the support and comfort, while JC took a different approach posting a video to YouTube reminiscing on the first time he met the social media star.
