According to PEOPLE, Corey’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, posted on Facebook about his tragic passing.
“The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore. The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most. He was a hero that shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable,” Dawn wrote.
Schafer continued to ask for prayers for her family.
“My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience,” she added. “Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds.
