Stephen CORKERY Obituary

CORKERY, Stephen C. December 9, 1983 - March 26, 2014 God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. He knew that your were suffering, he knew you were in pain. He knew you would never get well on this earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, "Peace be thine". It breaks our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. - Author unknown Stephen is survived by his parents Steve Corkery and Lisa Olson. His loving brothers Joel and Tom. Stepfather Jim Olson and step- mother Jennifer Corkery. Half-brother Case' and half-sister Corryn. Also surviving Stephen are numerous aunts, uncles, grandparents, nephews and nieces. All of us will miss him dearly. We will especially miss his contagious smile and the warmth in his eyes. In lieu of flowers please make memorial donations to Spokane Mental Health. We are comforted to know he is at peace in God's garden.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
