Corey Baines Obituary

BAINES, Corey Died in his sleep at the age of 16 when a branch fell on top of him while backpacking in the snow on the Catherine Freer Wilderness Expedition.

Corey died on March 26, 2003 at peace with himself, and in harmony with his fellow travelers. He will be missed greatly, and will remain in the hearts and spirits of the lives he touched. Life will not be as sweet without him. We Love You Corey! Scholarship donations requested to the Catherine Freer Foundation, P.O. Box 1064, Albany, OR 97321.

Corey was a great guy, he was one of the sweetest I ever met. We lost contact when he got into trouble. I missed him very much, thought about him everyday. I moved a few months ago but when the first ad in the paper came out, my friends told me. I cried for hours. I didnt beleive it util i saw it. Then the second one came out and it hurt me. It killed me inside. I will always remember him for the funny, sweet, cute and smart guy he was. I love you Corey and miss you very much!
