Supports the crowdfunding campaign for the family of Corey Steger (Ex-Underoath)
The action was shared by Corey Steger’s former bandmate Dallas Taylor, who was the lead singer for the combo from 1997 to 2003. He wrote on his socials:
„There is a Go Fund Me set up for Kim, and there two beautiful children… People don’t realize, but it’s the months, and years, and years down the road when the love, prayers and financial help really matters.
Please anything you can donate to this beautiful family that has lost a husband, and a dad. Corey was one of the most caring, loving people I’ve ever known. I love you Corey so much, and I miss you with everything in my broken heart. You were there for me in my hardest times, and never stopped loving, and caring for me.
Whatever you can give to help Kim, and this family will make an impact that will help them more than we realize. I love you Corey, gosh I miss you more than you know.“

Underoath itself has now also published a statement on the death of their former colleague on their socials and found the following moving words:
„Yesterday we received news that shook us. Our friend and founding Underoath member Corey Steger died suddenly this week. He was an uncommonly caring person. He was constantly striving to be a better version of himself not just for himself but to be the best example of God’s love to his wife and two children who he loved more than anything. We would not be who we are without him, period. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Godspeed, Corey.“
Corey Steger leaves behind a wife and two children. Our condolences go out to the family and the bereaved. Rest in peace.
Steger was part of Underoath from 1998 to 2001 and was involved in two albums. He played guitar on the debut album “Act Of Depression” from 1999 and on the successor “Cries Of The Past” from 2000. He was succeeded by Timothy McTague, who is still part of the band today.
From 2010 to 2015 Steger was also with the thrash metal band Hand Of Fire active.
