After graduating from Mandan Senior High (Class of 2000) he planted roots in Mandan. Bought a house and built a 22-year career doing what he loved, working on vehicles and honing his craft in paint less dent repair with Kupper Chevrolet (now Kramer Collision). He was a son, little brother, uncle, role model, but most importantly a fighter when it came to his illness. His calm nature and willingness to help others with nothing ever expected in return, left a lasting impression on anyone that came into Kory's Life. He loved outdoor activities whether it was fishing with friends or riding ATV with neighbors. He loved being active with a Busch Latte in his hand. He will be greatly missed by family and friends, but we know he is at peace. Serving a bigger purpose watching over us and waiting for us to reunite. It's not goodbye its we will see you later "Monzo". The Monzelowsky family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the 4th floor medical staff at St. Alexius in Bismarck, along with Kramer Collision and its staff for everything they did during this difficult journey. Kory is survived by his parents David and Sandra Monzelowsky, Mandan; brother Scott (Jen) Monzelowsky, and nephew, Jaxon Monzelowsky all of Grand Forks; grandmothers, Betty Brodehl and Francis Monzelowsky. He was preceded in death by grandfathers, Alvin Brodehl and Erasmus Monzelowsky. In lieu of flowers we ask for donations to be made to the St. Alexius Transitional Care Unit or Bismarck Cancer Center.
