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

i will bring some flyers to the soccer tournament to hand out at the field for the fundraise held at Applebee's on January 18th, will be 3 restaurants honoring the flyer for "Cory's Day" San Marcos, Escondido, and His home Oceanside... we will donate 20% of the sales generate from the flyer, so if you are not to attend the tournament, please stop by any of the Applebee,s and they will print one for you and your family or Email me and I will foward the copy to you,,, remmember the day is the 18th. I will like all Cory' s friends and Family to come out and enjoy a special day in honor of Cory Denton. Thank you for all your support....

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

It was only a couple of months ago that we were planning on meeting up over beers and catching up on life since Reformation... but then schedules and the extraneous static of life got in the way. I'll always remember the good times that we had when we were little men whether it was listening to bad hair bands at school, competing in volleyball, dodgeball, burnout, softwall, spelling bees, or playing hide-and-go-seek at your slumber party. Hearing all of the love here reinforces my positive perceptions of you even after so many years and I look forward to meeting you again in the next life. Until then, I'll miss you buddy.

cory... ive been on this site many times without typing a word... but i have to say, you made such an impact on so many people in both your life, as well as in your passing. you see, you being gone has made me check myself once again. my perspective has shifted back into the reality that i must value every moment of every day of my life... that my existance is a blessing. i have been so depressed as of late, i let myself forget that. thank you my friend, for your life and for the lessons you are still teaching even in your passing. you are the definition of "leading by example". by the by, your service was amazing, i know you know, cause i felt you there. we are all blessed to have known you. farewell sweet cory, may flights of angels bring you to your rest. much love.

Cory and Family... Your brother did an outstanding job at your memorial service! I just wanted to say that the times I played soccer with you on Team Emilio and Esco United was a blast! Being the scorekeeper while you refereed soccer games at the sportscenter was always truly entertaining! You were a great guy! I always remember the time I told you I liked your jeans and you said to me "just because you like my jeans doesn't mean I'm going to date you..." It was pretty funny...it still makes me laugh! (Brian remembers it too!) Anyway...best wishes to your family. Love ya man!
