Cory, it is so great to hear and read how you have touched everyones lives. And how you had such a unique relationship with every one of your friends. I knew I wasn't the only one! I miss you so much, Cory. Thank you so much for all the memories, for standing up for me when no one else would, for becoming the best example of "how to be a friend" that any of us will ever know. I love you man.

Hello. I have been looking at the web page dedicated to Cory daily and I really wanted to write and say how much Cory meant to me. I am not good with words so I will just write from my heart. I had the pleasure of growing up with him and I wouldnt be who I am today without the friends I made during those years. Reformation was a special experience for me and especially going through it with Cory, Christy, Jamie and Angie. Cory was like our brother and being the only boy in our class it made him even closer to us. I remember in 8th grade spending the night at Christy's house and Cory was there. There was no other boy my mom would have let me spend the night with but we were like family. Its been hard for me to clearly realize he is gone and I keep thinking of what his family is going through and I cant even imagine. I dearly miss him and who he was. I have so many special memories of him that I keep running through my head and in fact I sometimes find myself humming the song he made up about his wire notebook. People spoke so highly of him at his service and I couldnt have agreed more. Cory was one of a kind and he will always remain in my heart. I just wanted you to know, but I know you already know how special he was and how much he inspired those around him. I miss him! Love you always Cory!

Well Cory, yesterday turned out to be a great day for honoring you. All of your friends and your family were there at the Escondido Soccer Park when they unvieled the sign with your name and jersey number number on it. It was very sad for everyone but it also made everyone proud and reminded them just how special you were to deserve such an honor. Now we know that you'll be there at every game cheering your friends on. Lots of firends just came to visit your mom and dad and Christian, but most everyone played a few 20-minute games. Hey, even Christian played for a while. I'm sure that you loved seeing that! Thanks for taking care of the rain situation.. I guess you saw yesterday how much you are loved by EVERYONE. In talking to your friends, I realized that they, like me, visit your website daily, to look at your pictures, to read what others might have to say, but they just can't find the words to write anything at that moment. It's just so hard to unleash all that we are feeling. It just hurts so badly to admit that you're gone. After yesterday, I'm sure that your firends will be stopping by to let you know how it went, having to play without you.

Hope to see many of you at the Sports Center tomorrow. I know the more of you there, the stronger Cory's presence will be felt. I hope many of you decide to play as well, because hey, if Cory's older, athletically challenged older brother can play, anyone can. Ok Cory, you can stop laughing now.....I can hear you. See you tomorrow.

Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that Death Cab For Cutie, one of Cory's favorite bands, whose two songs, "Transatlanticism", and "Passenger Seat", I used in his video memorial, will be playing live on Saturday Night Live on NBC this Saturday night.

Cory, (aka Colby)--as usual im late to the party, but this is quite a tribute to a life well-lived and should remind us all to do a little better with our own. anyway, thanks brian k for setting this site up and to brian h for setting up the soccer tribute. the memorial was really touching, even for my mom who barely went to any of our games. your family was extraordinarily brave and your brother did an amazing job. random memory: you made me play wingman at margarita rocks in oceanside one night when you were trying to pick up on that hot bartender. it was the worst night of my life cause i was sick as heck, but im glad i went and you did get the digits

CORY, I'M BACK AFTER FIVE DAYS AND I MISS YOU AS MUCH AS BEFORE. I WAS JUST TRYING TO LEAVE ROOM FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO ENJOY "YOUR" WEBSITE. IN THESE FIVE DAYS I MUST HAVE ASKED MYSELF MANY TIMES, OR SOMEONE ELSE, WHY YOUR HEART WAS ENLARGED. WHAT, MY SON, WOULD HAVE GIVEN US REASON TO HAVE YOU CHECKED SO THAT WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED YOU BEING TAKEN FROM US FAR TOO EARLY AND, FRANKLY, I CAN'T COME UP WITH AN ANSWER. YOU AND I STILL HAD BRIDGES TO CROSS AND NOW WE CAN'T UNTIL ANOTHER DAY. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY I CAN HUG YOU ONCE AGAIN AND TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU. I KNOW I DON'T HAVE THE TENDER WAY OF YOUR MOTHER BUT, NONETHELESS, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AS MUCH AS YOUR SHE DOES. YOUR PRESENCE IS EVERYWHERE AROUND THIS HOME, OR WHEREVER I GO, I HAVE YOU WITH ME CONSTANTLY. EACH DAY SEEMS TO BRING A LITTLE MORE COMPREHENSION OF THE FINALITY OF YOUR BEING GONE, BUT, CORY, YOU WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER BE FORGOTTEN. HAVE A GREAT DAY MY SON. I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU.

HOW'S THE MAN WITH THAT INFECTIOUS, BEAUTIFUL SMILE DOING TODAY? I KNOW OTHERS MIGHT EXPLAIN IT AS PARENTAL PRIDE, BUT SO BE IT...I JUST THINK THAT YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARE SO HANDSOME BECAUSE YOU BOTH TAKE AFTER YOUR MOTHER SO MUCH, AND, FOR THAT, I AM VERY THANKFUL. I WATCHED THE STILL VIDEO AGAIN. CHRISTIAN IS GOING TO TRY AND INCORPORATE "SANDWICH DAYS" AND THE STILL VIDEO INTO ONE DVD. CORY, YOU WERE SO AWSOME IN "SANDWICH DAYS"...THE CREATIVITY AND RELAXED SMOOTHNESS OF YOUR DELIVERY WERE TRULY APPLAUDABLE. I WISHED WE HAD MORE TIME FOR ME TO TELL YOU THAT. CAN'T GO ON. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, CORY.

Hey brother, Now that my computer/internet is finally cooperating, and the kids are fast asleep so that I may actually have solitude to talk, here I am. I miss you. I love yo u, and can't even begin to tell you how much you meant...mean to me, Phoenix, Sage, and Shea. Shea's sleeping with the Halloween teddy bear right now you gave the kids to "share"-ha-ha. He always says, "this is from Uncle Cory". They love you so much. I know you must've been proud of them and smiled when you saw them up there honoring you. You and Christian have meant so much to me and the kids, especially these last few years with all that we've been through. Thank you for being there Cory. I'll cherish all the great times we've had together--but it wasn't enough, meaning I wanted to do more things together, so many things, to talk, to hang, to laugh with eachother and the kids, for you to wrestle with the kids, for us to go see a show, do coffee...so many things. And hey, you twirp, we were supposed to take Phoenix to the next Radiohead show with Christian. Well, I'm still holding you to that, l'il brother. We're still going to go, 'k? Sometimes, I find myself thinking you're not really gone. It's so surreal to me at times. I keep imagining you're going to call and say "Hey sis, I was going to pick the kids up to take them to see..." I felt like it was just beginning Cory,....ok...Phoenix is talking in his sleep right now..something about...(I was listening to music and then I fell asleep)....yeah, just beginning, you, me Christian, the kids hanging out. It's made me so happy. I tell Christian all the time, I feel cheated sometimes....you went way too soon. I took India for a walk tonight, looked up at the stars and knew you were there, right there with me. Love you, Cory. And, hey thanks for bringing the pizza by that night while I was laid up. I keep seeing you there in my bedroom doorway talking to me about things, the game that night, your friends smacktalkin' about the game.... Talk to ya later,good night
