Corey Miller Obituary
If you wanted to find Corey Miller on a summer weekend, you usually had to look for him in Tuxedo, N.Y., where he and his fiancée, Stacy R. Rosen, would regularly hobnob with people who looked as if they had just stepped out of the 16th century.
Aside from the annual Renaissance Faire, Mr. Miller, 34, enjoyed more modern pastimes like attending Devils games or going to parties with his large circle of friends, Ms. Rosen said. And it was sometimes hard to pry him away from his computer.
Mr. Miller, the supply manager for Cantor Fitzgerald, lived in Queens with his widowed mother and was close to his younger sister Cara, who has cerebral palsy. He and Ms. Rosen were introduced by mutual friends in 1994 and started a telephone friendship that eventually blossomed into romance. Although they got engaged in December, they did not plan to get married until 2004.
Their more immediate goal was to save enough money to buy an apartment in Queens and get it set up. "A wedding is just one day," Ms. Rosen said. "An apartment is someplace you'll be the rest of your life."

I just wanted you to know that I am very sorry for your loss. In school this year, we are doing a memorial on someone who passed during the attack. I chose to do Mr. Miller.

Hey old friend. It's been a very long time. My thoughts turned to when we were kids at Rochdale. They killed the animal responsible for your death. It brought a big smile to my face that justice was finally meted out. Godspeed old friend.
Love,

As the 8th anniversary approaches, it was only recently that I found out you were you taken that day. Even though we had lost touch, I still remember working with you at Waldbaum's and even remember when they changed the heading on the receipts for your birthday. I will remember hanging in your room, admiring your Star Trek collection, and watching Rocky Horror. In fact you gave me my first copy of the extended version. You will be very sadly missed and as Mara said previously, forever in my thoughts and memories.

It was almost 21 years ago I met you through Paul and we just clicked right off the bat. I was in shock today as I learned that you were taken from us on that horrific day. Even though, we lost touch many years ago, Paul and I always spoke of you fondly and would look for you around the neighborhood. We even tried to Facebook you a few weeks ago totally unaware. I will never forget the times we hung out in your house, Great Adventure and of course The Rocky Horror Picture Show when I had to do your makeup. You will be sadly missed and forever in our thoughts and memories.

Hey Cuz!
Relatives or not, fate meant us to be friends or we never would have met at Rocky Horror long before we ever knew we had common blood.
You were always there for me and for anyone else who needed you. I remember when the Gulf War started and we were all scared, you had everyone over for a sleepover and we all took consolation in each other's friendship.
You were the kind of friend everyone deserves and you are missed.
I am proud to name my daughter in your memory when she's born this September and I hope she will grow with some of your kindness and goodness of spirit. I will make sure she knows about her "Cuz" and how special you were.
You're always in our hearts.

I just wanted to let Corey's family know that even 5 years later people are still praying for them. I didnt know Corey. I am a college student in Texas and we had a memorial service all day for the victims of 9/11. We were given ribbons to wear that had the name of someone who died on 9/11. I got Corey's name. I just want to say that I am sorry for your loss and that I am praying for your family. May God bless you and keep you well.

Corey;
It has been two years since we last saw each other yet your face still remains as fresh in my memory as if it was only yesterday. I was blessed in having known you, and will forever carry your memory in me, till the day we all meet again.
I do not know anything to say that would be more to the point than a simple "I miss you"

Corey,
You are always in my thoughts. There is not a day when I do not stop for a minute and think about you. It was very hard to go to Devils playoff games and Stanley cup finals knowing that you would not be there. It was even harder when they won the cup this year and knowing you were not there to witness it first hand. I have not stopped thinking of you and when we went to free skate and got all our Jerseys autographed. It was a night that I have not forgotten and will not forget for a long time to come.
We miss you terribly at faire and have setup our annual memorial at the tree in the grove as we have now done every year since that fateful weekend after 9/11 when we all gathered that first weekend not because we wanted to but because we had to. There were many of us whom after that day did not feel like going out and having a weekend of fun. We gathered together because we had to know, and see for ourselves that all our friends were ok, and be together to mourn the loss of our fallen comrades.There were many of a renrats shock that you were the only victim among us. One of the most friendliest of people and I think that made it a lot harder on everyone.
You would be proud of Stacey, she is working at St. George's again this summer and she seems to be doing well.
I miss you dearly and your warm heartedness and friendly smile. You will always be in my thoughts.

I got the pleasure work with Corey 1998-1999. He was definately a "Trekkie". He loved collecting different gadgets and toys.
My prayes goes out to his family.

Corey, not a day goes by when I dont think of you, see your smile, hear your laugh. I remember the very first day we met, and I remember the very last time I saw you and how good it was to be with you and the rest of our Family again, for such a joyful weekend.
Corey, I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. I'll never hear another KISS song or go to another Renfaire without thinking of you; I'll never see Star Wars again without thinking of you; I'll never have another birthday without remembering it was the last time I ever got to see you again. I'm glad I have those things to remind me, and bring you to my mind every day, to keep your memory fresh and alive and help me celebrate you and all that you were.
Your loss has left a gaping, aching wound in the lives of the ones who loved you, just as your life brought so much joy and laughter to us. I will never, ever forget your gentle spirit, your quick wit, your great enthusiasm for the things you loved to do...and I look forward to the day we meet again, in that galaxy far, far away.
I love you, Corey. Please take care of yourself, wherever you are. I miss you so much.
Peace, and may the Force be with you...always.
KLY!

You could not pry him away from his friends. He was always around when you needed one. If you needed a smile, he had a joke to tell. He will be missed!
Rest in peace Corey

Corey will be greatly missed! He leaves behind a legacy of being a kind and gentle person. His life may have been cut short but his memory lives on in our hearts.

The NY Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, NY saw more blue ribbons than I could have ever imagined the weekend after 9/11. Each one was in remembrance of our fallen brother, Corey Miller. To this day many of us continue to wear those same ribbons on our ren garb and will continue to do so for some time to come, if not make it a permanent part of it.
To Corey, our fellow rogue, brother and friend, we raise our glasses to you. You will be always missed.

With great apprehansion, I started to read the profiles of those lost on Sept. 11th. I worked at Cantor Fitzgerald three years ago. I did not know very many people there because our department was somewhat isolated from the rest of the firm and then was discontinued (when I left). Part of me was afraid to look through all the names, but I realized it might be better to find out than to wonder. One person stood out in my memory of working there, and that was Corey Miller. He and I shared a great many laughs and conversations. He had shown me photographs of himself in renaissance costume and we both enjoyed talking about all the cheesy tv shows we liked. Corey told me about his family and how much he loved his fiancee. He used to wear some crazy neckties! Corey was a sweet person and had a personality and a passion for his hobbies that one couldn't forget. Before I met him, I never knew anyone that went to the Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo every weekend it took place. Corey was one-of-a kind, I'll never forget him.

You will be remembered by all your Renaissance faire friends. How proud you were in your new blue doublet at the last faire. You are in our prayers.

I worked with Corey along with many many others who were lost on that dreadfull day. I have known Corey for 7 years and I still cant believe he is gone. I miss fighting with him about the Rangers and Devils. Corey was a big Devil fan and an even bigger Star Wars fan. I cant help but think of him every time I watch the Devils. My heart goes out to his Mom and the love of his life Stacey. Stacey meant everything to him , I hope you know how much he loved you Stacey.
God Bless You

I want to let you know I am so sorry for your loss. I also lost my "fiancee," Robert Devitt, on 9/11. Bob worked at Cantor, and I remember him telling me about Cory and his love of the Renaissance period. Bob and I also enjoyed going to Renaissance fairs...but not as much as Cory. I hope you are finding some sort of peace. Please contact me if you'd like someone to talk to who knows what you're going through.

We are very sorry for your loss of Corey. Our hearts cry with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
