Cory Alan Altman

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Cory Alan Altman, of Muirfield Dr., in Canfield, Ohio, on January 9th, 2026, at the age of 55 years. 

He was born on March 8th, 1970, in Youngstown, Ohio, a son of Martin M. Altman and the late Sherry Hope Altman.

Cory was a very kind and personable soul with an incredibly bright mind. He never met a person who didn't instantly like him. He began his studies at Bowling Green University, went on to Ohio State University, and continued his education at Youngstown State University for two years more, majoring in Business with Communications as his minor. He later went on to put his education to good use as Assistant Plant Manager at Brentwood Originals, a career which spanned over 20 years. In his free time, he enjoyed traveling the country and going to see two of his favorite bands, the Grateful Dead and Phish, in concert. He never quite outgrew his youthful side, unapologetically and happily living life on his own terms, and making lasting memories throughout the years with his very dear, longtime friends.

In addition to his mother, he is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Robert and Helen Nelson. 

In addition to his father, Cory is survived by his sister, Lisa Altman of Canfield, Ohio; his niece, Alayna Lucia Spencer of Boardman, Ohio; and many loving cousins, all of whom he will forever be sadly missed by.

At the family's request, a graveside service will be held at 1:30 p.m., Monday, January 12th at the Ohev Tzedek Cemetery at 3972 Tippecanoe Rd, with family and close friends attending.

In Cory's memory, contributions may be made to the Humane Society or Congregation Ohev Beth Sholom.
