Courtney D. Finch Obituary

Once again a szd anniversary has come. As tragic as it is when a young man passes, my hope is ghat the knowledge that Sgt. Finch is still remembered will give you, his family and friends, some comfort.

Oh uncle how I miss you so much. I miss the memories. I wish heaven had a phone. I wish I could have just one more day with you. I wish I could just have one more conversation with you

All the best to Sgt. Finch's family, friends and comrades as another year has passed. Keeping his memory alive, I hope, in some small way eases the pain of your loss.

Incredibly difficult to make any worthwhile reply. Being a squad leader in Charlie Company at the time(KFOR 7B), but a different Platoon. Finch was a quality troop, and wished I had him in my Squad, for sure!! I have no words that will make you're loss easier to take. Very proud to have served with Sgt. Finch, and pray you are dong well.

Another year has passed, but the memory of SGT Finch keeps him alive in all who knew him, love him, served with him or knew only that he gave all of himself in the service of his Country.

Hello,

We apologize for being so late in expressing our deepest condolences to you and your family. We want you to know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Courtney D. Finch US Army Sergeant.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families, friends and others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family
On Behalf of our US Hockey Players Support Our Troops Campaign

Until Valha My Brother.

A day late, but know that I keep the memory of your son, brother, and friend in my thoughts throughout the year. I'm glad I was given the privilege of making his acquaintance these many years ago. Forever young, RIP SGT Finch. 'Til we meet at Fiddlers Green.

Courtney, you better take care of Joy up there. She missed you so very much. Please save me a seat on the patio in the sky. So much love, I need your laugh.

It is hard to believe that ten years have come and gone since SGT Finch's passing. I can't help but wonder what great things SGT Finch might have accomplished in ten years time. I'm sure the pain of his loss is not lessened by the passage of time, but I hope that the knowledge that he truly has not been forgotten makes the pain at least tolerable. My sincerest best wishes to you, his family and close friends, on this sad anniversary.

A man has nothing after he's gone but his reputation, and the love his family and close friends still have for him. I knew you for a short time in Kosovo, but your sacrifice, and that of your family still resonates with me and has earned my deep respect.
To you, his family and friends who knew him so well, I still grieve for your loss and the pain you must surely feel each year on this day. May you find some comfort in knowing he was well liked and respected by his peers, and will not be forgotten.

Finch buddy, think of you alot and the good times we had while in The Guard, rest easy my friend .

Remembering you this memorial day. Rest easy.

Missing you man, was glad to call you a brother love you

Once again another anniversary passes of the day you left this world. All of my thoughts are with your family and friends today, as well as to the memory of you SGT Finch. As long as you and your deeds are remembered, you will live on forever.

Missing you. :(

Hey, my name is Courtney. I am currently a Senior at Winfield City High School. My government class was assigned a project. Our project was to research past military SGT. or etc. with our first or last name. I came acrossed SGT. Courtney D. Finch. I am extremely blessed I am able to write to all his family and friends. With that being said, I want to thank everyone who has served in any type of war. May God Bless you all in the years to come. I will continue to keep y'all in my prayers.
Sincerly,
Courtney
P.S.

Another year has passed, and yet, the memory of SGT Courtney Finch remains. An excerpt from the Havamal sums it up best. Cattle die, kinsmen die,
Every man is mortal:
But the good name never dies
Of one who has done well.
RIP SGT Finch, and to his family and friends, my thoughts are still with you.

It has been 6 years since SGT Finch passed away and I consider it an honor to keep his memory alive. To his family, please take solace in knowing that you are in my thoughts during this difficult time, and that your son, brother, friend is remembered by those who served with him.

A day late, but still in my thoughts!

Missing you every single day.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Courtney D. Finch:
It has truly been my honor to sign Courtney's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Courtney will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

It's been 3 years since Sgt. Finch has been gone. I just wanted to let you know that you will always be remembered for your sacrifice and the continuing sacrifice your family makes every day since. You are as always, Gone, but not forgotten.

I didn't have the honor to serve with SGT Finch. But we covered some of the same ground. I was in the KSNG for 17 years and have history with the 714th. Also, was serving in Iraq JUL 07. Many of our fallen are KIA, well you are just as much of a hero as any of them. After returning from AFGHAN in 2009, I have been envolved in VETERAN's activities while waiting on my Son's return from his 2nd tour in Iraq. I wanted your family to know that during the "Walk to Remember" on SAT May 1, 2010, I will be walking in your honor. It is a blessing to do this as a fund-raiser that purchases Battlefield Crosses. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the Finch family. I pray that God will comfort them and help them to cherish the wonderful memories of your life. You are truly missed by your unit & friends. See you on the other side COMRAD! MAJ Freddy Welborn

I miss you. Every single day.

Hey fella! Its so hard to believe its 2 years now. Every drill I go to, every time we are in the field, it just doesnt feel the same. Havin you around to BS with, or crackin jokes about this and that always helped with all the idiocy that we had to deal with.
We lost 2 more guys since you've been gone. You'd have liked Sgt Macdonald and Tate. Mac was a great guy with a sense of humor kinda like yours. And Tate was just a good guy. Im hopin you guys are waitin on the other side, hangin out and killin time til the rest of us show up.
Rest easy brother. You are in our hearts, in our prayers. God bless.

hey there brother hard to believe it is 2 years today,i stayed up all night thinking about those late nights around the fob just smoking and joking in front of the chews.miss you bro ,we all from the 714th still think about you and the good times. ARROWHEAD HOOAH.

To the family of Sgt. Courtney D. Finch:
Courtney gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

I served with SGT. Finch in Kosovo. He was a good man. I'm truly sad to hear of his death in Iraq. I do however, take solice in the knowledge that we will see him again in the resurrection. I only wish I would have known him better. It's always sad when a young person leaves us. To his family, I offer my deepest sympathy.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Courtney, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Finch!

I never really knew Courtney, but i believe to have met him once, he was my uncle. I found out a few days ago that he had died. and I actually cried for a few minutes. I wish he was still alive, so I could actually meet him.
Marie Guinavire Spak

Courtney and I were best friends. I'm the one that got Courtney on this mission. Going into this we both knew there was a chance that the other might not return home. I knew that should it be me, Courtney would be there to take me home. That thought alone made the entire tour worth it. I always had him there with me. You are a true friend. And you are an outstanding soldier. I miss you brother. Till later.

Courtney,

I also attended your sevice on Aug. 2nd, 2007 in Ft. Leavenworth, KS, I rode with the Patriot Guard on the motorcycle, 128 total bikes, You would have been so proud of all the people that cared for you. It really hit home how much you meant to the unit and myself. I spent alot of time with him in while in Kosovo, Germany, Ft. Lewis, and drill weekends. Courtney also took the combat lifesaver class with me and helped me through it. I wish that I was there by your side and may have made a difference of the outcome, you will be missed by many and rest in peace brother, you deserve it.

I wanted to tell you that me and my family send the most deepest sympathy to all of you , My husband Cory was yours sons roomate when they first got to Irac.I cant amagin what you are going through but i can tell you that he will surly be missed.

To the parents of Courtney, I would like to extend my heart felt sorrow as I know what you are going through and what you will yet go through in the coming weeks. I too am the mother of another fallen soldier and with God's continued support in my life I try to reach out to other who might need the support of someone who has been where you are. I want to offer you the support you may need to contact me anytime so that you may vent, talk or just seek comfort I am here for you. As a Gold Star Mother I've reached out through God's blessings to many across the country and we have a good support group. May God continue to give you and your family the love, comfort and healing that you need. In memory of my son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III KIA Samarra, Iraq November 12, 2006

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Sgt Finch and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

I miss you so much Courtney. WIth a K, for those who get it. Love you bro.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Finch family in the loss of Courtney. I did not know Courtney, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Courtney you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace

We are so sorry for your loss, but are very proud of his sacrifice to his country. We usually send cards personally, but couldn't find your address. Please know that our heroes will not be forgotten!
Proud parents of TSGT Shane Saddler
John and Becky Saddler,

To all the family and friends of another remarkable soldier:
I am deeply sorry for your loss. It hurts my heart to see another loss, another family hurting as mine is. My brother, Sgt. Jacob Schmuecker, was killed on July 21. Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. He will not be forgotten.

My husband became friends with Courtney during their deployment in Kosovo and I slowly came to know him through pictures and videos Eddie sent home to me. Although I can count the amount of times I'd been face to face with Courtney on one hand, I've always regarded him as my friend as well. We wrote each other sporadically while he was in Iraq and I'm thankful now for those conversations. I'm also thankful for the friendship and laughter he brought Eddie during that long deployment...even now, during this sad time, a memory of something funny or quirky Courtney did brings a smile to our faces. Not a day goes by that we aren't thinking of him and of his family. We'll miss you Courtney...and while I know you'd be rolling your eyes at all this fuss over you, you more than deserved every bit of it.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Finch, I went to your funeral today. It was a nice service. The Governor was there and lots of Officers, alot of guys from the unit.
Its kinda hard coming to terms with you leaving here. We never really hung out together, but at drill we shared some good times.
Im going to miss you brother. God only takes the good ones, and you Courtney, were among the best. Rest in peace. I am proud to call you my friend. Jess

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Sincere sympathy and love, Pat - R.N. in TN

I'll see you one day soldier, sorry you got there first.

I havent seen courtney in years, he was a great friend of mine when we were both around 18-20 years old. We worked on cars together and we hung out for about 3 years. He was a car club member of mine for those three years. It was an abosolute shock to hear the news. All of us in the club have him and the family in our prayers. Realize, he left us as a hero, and thats the only way he should be remembered. Keep him in your hearts. He may have left us physically but he'll always be with us spiritually. Our prayers are with you.

i am the significant other of Doc Price. and i know how very much courtney ment to him as well as his other brothers in arms, I am very sad to see him go. I will be attending the funeral sevices for brian since he will not be able to attend. All our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends! Thank you courtney for protecting our freedoms!

God bless you Courtney. You were a friend of my son, Nick. You can't imagine how deep a hole you leave in the hearts of those who knew and loved you. You are in the loving arms of the Lord, never to suffer or feel pain again. We know you will be watching over us as our soldier in heaven.

To the family and friends of Sgt Finch. I'm very sorry for your loss as we all feel this pain we will remember the moments that Courtney has left on us. Courtney and I was deployed in 2005-2006 in Kosovo but spent many of time together in other schools and times we shared hanging out. He was my friend, my brother and I try to talk him into going Active with me before he left on this deployment and tried to get me to go to. Courtney will always be in my heart and will always be with me everytime I take a step in Iraq I know he will be watching over me. Courtney I love you and will always miss you brother.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our hearts go out to Courtney, his family and friends. We thank you for serving and protecting our country--you are truly a hero and will not be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Sgt. Courtney Finch and Family:

Know in your heart that you are a true hero and will never be forgotten. All gave some, some gave all. Rest in peace. You will be missed by everyone’s life you have touched.

To the family, as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family, friends, and all Americans for the sacrifice of one of your family members for our freedom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father.

We all will miss you, but will always remember.

We were so sorry to hear what happened and we wish we could be there with the family. Please know that our thoughts and prayers will be with you all in the days ahead.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
