Traci Wilhelm posted a condolenceThere are many memories that bring a smile to my face when I think of Corey. We had wonderful times at Christmas when "Santa" came to see us on Christmas Eve. The Easter egg hunts waiting impatiently for all the eggs to be hidden. The hunting and fishing trips we would take. Playing in the fields at the farm and riding horses. Remembering how he would tease me pointing his finger in my face and me telling him to stop. In true Corey fashion he kept it up, so I bit his finger. It is funny now, but I felt so bad after because I hurt him. I remember riding on the dune buggies and climbing trees. It was always fun to go to Hagg lake. I remember when Corey didn't know how to swim and he would always wear his life jacket. Well one time uncle Darwin made him take it off(mind you always watching) so he would learn how to swim and not rely on the life jacket to keep him up. He was so scared at first, but then before long he was a pro. I would not change my cousins for any others, as they were my best friends growing up. I am so proud that he lived his dream and had a wonderful wife and kids to share it with. I know right now he is in heaven hunting and fishing and watching as much football as he can stand. I will definately miss you my sweet cousin.

KaLinna posted a condolenceRemember when...
Aunt Carol was driving around in circles in the parking lot, we were having a great time, laughing and yelling, and falling out of the car door.. I somehow landed on top of you and I believe to this very day and always will, that you saved my skull from serious damage. Remember when.. That damned cricket we all loved and hated and feared (FOR GOOD REASON) decided to trample you and bite your back? Yeah, that was rude. I cried because you cried.
Remember when..
We made forts in the forested area of the farm? We pretended we were all adults living lives as the pioneers would. Remember when we were young. I do. I will always remember you as you were back then because I lost track of you as an adult. But time doesnt matter in the great scheme of life. We will see each other again. Will always remember your smile~I see it in your boys. Will always see you as my hero.
Your cousin,
KaLinna
Hailey Okeif posted a condolenceCorey you grew up to be as amazing as you were a kid. You always had a smile on your face, and as a young boy you and Jeremy loved going out to Hagg Lake. In your honor Corey, I will be celebrating your love for fishing, and a "Corey style bbq" at Henery Hagg Lake on the 18th of May. As I look around the Lake, I will feel your presence among the trees, and may you visit often. God blessed our time with you here, and God bless your journey alongside Him.
