Such great memories of training at the Stampede Boxing Club!
Great determination, competitors, leaders, sportsmen and above all else admired neighbours and wonderful friends to all those whose lives they touched. May They Be Granted Them Both The Finest of Heavenly Blessings.

Knew Cory a lifetime ago. To this day, when ever I see a boxer throw two or three left hooks in a row, it reminds me of Cory. R.I.P.

I remember you Cory and am proud to call you a friend. We were both teammates and competitors. I remember traveling to Calgary many times to spar with you & learning a lot every time. I think of you often as a great athlete, a good friend, & had a strong faith. God bless. You were a true fighter.

I went to high school with Corey. I can still remember him giving quick boxing lessons to some of the kids behind Verdun Catholic High School. I also remember him giving me a t-shirt from one of his boxing tournaments. That is how I will remember him, someone that would literally give you the shirt off of his back. My deepest condolences to the Burton family.

"IF ONLY WE COULD SEE"
"If only we had eyes to see when souls are passing from this life, we'd see that no one ever dies alone...
The angels come to meet us as they lead us on to heaven, to the greatest kind of love we've ever known.
If only we had eyes to see that all of heaven celebrates when someone comes into that holy place...We'd feel the joy the angels feel as each new soul is welcomed to eternity within the Lord's embrace."
Our beloved Corey may you rest in perfect peace and may God comfort you for the rest of eternity...Poppy take care of him.
love you always,

To the Burton Family, I knew Corey while he lived in St. Catharines, he spent a number of holidays and occasions with our family. Corey will be remembered for his kind heart. Our fondest memory of him is when he came to our house after our 1st daughter was born with homemade burrittos to share.
I hope that he finds the peace that he so deserves. Rest in Peace Corey and may your family be comforted in the good times that they shared with you.

When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still.
What moves through us is a silence, a sadness, A longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
With Deepest Sympathy..

To the Burton Family from the Fernandes Family. I was saddened when I heard the news and couldn't help but spend the day thinking of old times, gym class, walking home with you and Hope every day, Holy Cross School. You always were doing something that made me laugh and most importantly you had my back. I hope you found your solace and peace. For Hope I know you will be strong for the rest of the family but if you need to chat you know how to reach me.
Peace and Love

To the Burton Family: Our deepest condolences go out to all of you. Your son, brother and friend will be sadly missed to all that knew him. A gentle soul with a good heart taken too soon. May the clouds surround and comfort you (Corey) always.
Hope: I will always remember when your brother and I walked to that greasy spoon restaurant about 2 years back (way too long), ordered up some grub, talked and laughed. I didn't know Corey that well but from what I knew of him and saw he was a delight to be around, so be proud and stay strong, Wade.
Love always "The Langlois Family" Paulette, Wade and the little ones.

To the Burton Family - Please accept our condolences: Our memory of Corey is San Diego 1991-he was on a visit to CA. and we can still picture Corey in his black Converse high-tops in our livingroom-Dan, Lil & Darrin had brought him over to visit us. Brian wanted to enlist him in the USMC but he needed a Visa and was just 17 I think, so we said go home and work on it. We pictured him boxing for the USMC team. That is our memory of Corey and we can still picture his smile. Judy & Brian

You have climbed the highest mountains, and have gazed into the abyss.
