Cory, your brother did an amazing job yesterday. I know that you are extremely pround of him. You told me so often how much he meant to you. I hope you heard when I said as well. You know how much I hate speaking in public but I managed to blubber through it. It were an amazing person...

I feel so blessed to have been a part of Cory's life. He is such an inspiration and his memories will forever live in my heart. After hearing so many of his friends and family speak at Cory's memorial service, I am so proud to say that he was in my life. In honor of Cory Denton there will be a Soccer Tournament on Saturday, January 14th at the Escondido Sports Center. All funds raised will be presented to the Denton family. In addition to the tournament, Applebee's will also be hosting a fundraiser on January 18th. 20% of the total sales from the Oceanside, San Marcos and Escondido locations will also be presented to the Denton Family. Everyone must have a flier to participate. There will be fliers going around during the tournament, so pick one up and tell all your friends and family. We would like all of Cory's friends and family to come out enjoy a special day in honor of Cory Denton. Please feel free to email me with any questions, or if you would like me to email you the flier. mgesquivel@prodigy.net Thank you for all your support. Love to the Denton family and may God Bless you all.

Dear Denton family, I love you guys so very much. Christian, today will be a day I will never forget. You spoke with the tounge of an angel. I never realized how many people loved Cory, but what's not to love? He had the biggest heart in the world. He will be missed. Love you guys, Lisa

To Cory's family, though I only knew your son on the soccer field as a teamate. I knew quickly what a kind hearted man is was. I am just learning soccer at the age 32 and even with my lack of skill Cory would just smile at me and never get frustrated. His service was beautiful and he will be dearly missed. I am happy to know that he is truly resting in peace. Thank you!

I love you Cory. Sweet dreams my brother.

Dear Carolyn, Dennis, children and extended Cory Family Our hearts go out to all of you for having lost your son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. The tribute you paid him was incredible. Your love for him and his love for everyone showed every minute. Thank you. Don't think of him as gone away. His journey just began. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from sorrow and from tears. In a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing - but our sadness - can really pass away. And think of him as living, in our hearts and those he touched, for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much! We pray in loving Memory to Cory we have known since Kindergarten and Comfort for those he left behind- God Bless and Give you Strength. Benny, Gisella, Talitha, T.J., Damien, Raven, Tyler and Jaden Thomas

Your memorial service was beautiful. Cory, you have no idea how much you will be missed. I feel like part of me is gone with you. I feel guilty for knowing I have to go on with my life but you arent here. I mean I just saw you and the last thing you said to me was we were going to hang out again soon. During our childhood, all of us were so close and I was looking forward to getting to know you all over again. You will always be in my memories and without a doubt I will never forget you. I look forward to the day we meet again. I love you always Cory!

Wow. That was a wonderful memorial service. I feel like I know you just a little bit better now. So sad I didn't get to know you more (I guess I could have if I had not flaked on Magic Mountain day, but I guess you still had fun!) Christian did a great job with the slide show. And the music choice and everything was PERFECT. Accept for the "technical difficulties" part...but oh well. Glad I got to take you out last time we played poker at Doyle's (how were you suppose to know I had pocket ace's) but I guess thats what you get for always goin "all in". I'm gonna miss seeing you around! Later Cory.

I just came home from your memorial service. Wow. Your brother loves you so much, Cory. I was in awe of all the time, and effort, and courage he put into today. You know what courage is, Cory--you wrote a paper on it once. You were courageous, and everyone who came to say goodbye to you today is courageous. It was awfully difficult. But you give us all strength--you even gave some of us the strength to get up in front of everyone and speak about you. There was so much love in that room. It was all yours. Thank so much, Cory--I was proud to see our Johnny Appleseed picture up there, too. Though, at the time, I remember you being to tired and cranky to think it was funny. Love you.

I know I will miss Cory. I wish I could have seen him more. I'm glad I got to introduce him to my wife. I was honored to play trombone in his band. We had such a good time in The Big Cheeze. I enjoyed playing chess with him and hanging out with him when I did. May the Lord be pleased to grant peace and comfort to his family.--Josh Brisby
