Butch, Beth, & Family,
My family & I want you to know how sorry we are for your loss. A very wise person explained to me that God decides, at the time of conception, in that split second, after examining each potential life and soul to be, and knowing how long each life will last. God selects which cell will merge with another to be born. God saw something in Corey that was so special, that out of all the millions of others he could have chosen, knowing how long his life would be, God selected him out of all the others who could have been born and would have had longer lives to live. God allowed him to be born. Even though it is so very painful now, I hope this helps. Our Grand mother Elsie, and Grandpa Clem, lost all their children except for one before they passed away. They had to bear all those losses. We come from a long line of strong very powerful people. Our love and prayers are with you.
Love, Deb & Family

Corey,
When I think of you I think of smiles, fun, and laughter. I'll miss the 3a.m. phone calls from you and Ryan announcing that you were on your way over to keep me company. It was always you, R.J., Aho, and John waking me up at all hours of the night to "chill". Or how about the night we came over and got that ticket in front of your house for parking 5 minutes after the limit? You know, my mom never did find out about that. Your hugs were always warm, your friendship always true, and your smile always glowing. I know you are watching over all of your friends and family, i just wish it didn't have to be so soon. I LOVE YOU!

Corey Chase,
Corey was truly the most special person I have ever been blessed to meet. He could always make me and anyone smile. He touched everyone's life. I remember talking with that kid on party line for hours because he could get phone calls all hours of the night. Thanks for all the memories and advise Corey.

Corey-You are a wonderful person. When I met you three years ago I figured I would see you once, and that would be it. But I saw you almost every day in Brooklyn Park. No matter what kind of mood any of us were in, you could always make us laugh. Whether it be your afro-wig, or your way of starting stuff with everyone, you could always brighten up a day. I truly cherish the time I spent getting to know you, and even though we hadn't talked for a couple months, you were an inspiration to me. You taught me that no matter what, I should always be who I am, and not pretend to be something I'm not. You are an angel shot down too soon, and you will be missed forever. To Corey's family: I know the grieving time will be long, and difficult. If you are as strong as Corey was, you will make it through. A special note to Sammy-it took a lot of courage, and bravery for you to get up at the church to speak about Corey. I wanted to hug you afterwards, but you don't know who I am, so I just want to say, good job, and hang in there. Corey will be missed by everyone.

Corey, I dont even know where to start. You were my best firend for over 13 years and now I am lost without you. You were one of a kind and there is nobody that will ever fill your shoes. I know in my heart your mission in life was to make a huge impact on many peoples life and to just make people happy. You accomplished your mission ten fold. You are the reason I am who I am today. I just wish I could go back and tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I will never forget you kid. I love you and will see you in heaven. Just save a spot for me up there.
To all Corey's Friends and Family, I know that this is extrememly hard for everyone. It is the hardest thing I will ever have to do in my life. But like I have been telling everyone just thank god that you had the chance to know Corey and feel bad for the people who had never met him. He was the best big brother, the best son, and the best friend there will ever be.
My heart goes out to everyone.
Love ya Corey See Ya in Paradise!

Corey- Thank you for being my first love. I miss you so much right now, and it's very hard to get through a day. Thank you for always wanting me to be happy and for everything you ever did for me. I don't regret any trouble that we used to get into with eachother or any bad times that we went through. I loved every moment even though I didn't know it at the time. The only regret that I have right now is not calling you back last week. I'm so sorry,but I can't wait to see you again. My love and prayers go out to Beth, Wally,Brianna, and Sammy.

Beth, Wally, Brianna, and Sam,
For the last 5 years of my life I was blessed with a loyal, genuine, trustworthy, and straight up wonderful person Corey Chase. I feel a empty spot in my life without Corey. He would be willing to do anything for his friends and family. There were many occasions where Core would come out to Robbinsdale and pick me up for work in rush hour traffic. That is the type of person Corey is. I remember chilling in his parents room just bumping some 112. Corey was the one that brought me in to all of the wonderful people I have met throughout the years. We would just chill at Jamie P's house and have a blast. That is how our personalities clicked. He has so much wit and excitement. There wouldn't be a dull moment with Corey around. He would shine light on a rainy day. I remember when I would take your christmas money playing in between. Or when you took all of me and Aho's cigarretes in poker. You were so happy. We were together all the time. We would chill at your house, watch movies, play video games and call ladies.Those were the good old days. Times have change but we always kept it real. That is what I am fortunate for. We were together til the end. In my eyes you are with me right now listening to music and introducing me to ladies as your boy R.J. That is the truth, and that is what our friendship is, the truth. We will carry that forever. To the family, I am sorry for your loss and I feel it. I will do the best to stay in touch and help us through this tough time. Beth and Wally thank you for helping me when times were tough. I always felt right at home. Brianna you probably got sick of me and Corey taking over the phone but you know I have nothing but love for you. Sam I will see you on T.V in about 10 years. You were always the best. When you would talk trash for beating me in videogames. I couldn't talk it back because you would beat me that bad. Keep up the hard work. To the whole family stay strong and know he is shining down on us. Corey- ONE LOVE

I met Corey in middle school when he was dating Jessica. Corey had the biggest smile and a contagious laugh. I always loved his North Carolina clothes, and can remember asking him everyday if I could borrow his sweatshirt. My deepest sympathies go out to anyone who knew Corey. To the Chase family you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you find peace in knowing how many lifes' Corey had touched, I will surely never forget him.

Corey... What can I say? There will never be another like you. By far you are the most genuine person that I have ever met. I will never forget hearing the basketball bounce outside my window and looking up at the park to see you practicing your moves almost every day- and then going up and talking to you for hours. You always made days fun at school, and you ALWAYS had me laughing. Corey we will never forget you, and all our thoughts and prayers to the Chase family. Also-Sam great job up there yesterday, stay strong.

We haven't talked for a couple years but I wanted to let you know that You Will Be missed by everyone that ever had a chance to talk with you, you always made sure everyone was laughing and having a good time.

Brianna,Sammy,Beth,and Wally I am so very sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you.Brianna you know how important you are to me and I will always be there for you.When I became friends with bri I automaticaly had a huge crush on Corey and seriously who didn't. Whenever I would go to bri's I would always look forward to seeing Corey he was such an amazing,hilarious person with one of the best personalities anyone could ever have. I loved how whenever i called for bri and she wasn't home he would always start up a long conversation. I dont know if he noticed it but I always thought of Corey as an older brother and knew if i needed him he would be there.Corey I will always remember what a great laugh you had nobody's laugh will ever top yours.I love you and you will forever be missed.

Corey: You always used to say to me, "don't worry about it." Now I won't worry anymore because deep down I know you are in a better place and will always be watching out for me and everyone else that was in your life. You are my angel now. You have impacted people's lives far beyond comprehension and because of knowing you, I am a better person. Miss you always and forever...POSH

I wrote a big thing on here last night and for some reason it didnt get put up. So here I go again...
Corey,
It has been a long time since I have even seen you. 4th grade actually. What i remember about you will remain with me forever. I was the new girl at school and everyone picked on me for that. Except for you. You treated me like i had been at that school forever. I have remebered that through the years. I have thought about you from time to time and wndered what you were up to. I just wish i could have known you recently. But i will cherish the memories that I do have of you forever. I guess i'll have to wait til i get to heaven to get to know you better. I guess this is goodbye til then

Corey-
What can I say? You were my co-pilot. We had so much fun while it lasted. I'll always remember "half" the great stories we had to tell everyone.(It was always your job to finish them with the punch line)Working two jobs with you was a blast.(Especially Abercrombie with all those hot girls to ourselves,we had it made) We went through a lot together. I hope you told you're mom sorry for sleeping in her grass that day. You DID have the best laugh ever. Thanks for trying to teach my how to dance.(With no prevail) My many thoughts and prayers go out to the surviving Chase family.
Extremely missed,
Travis

I remember the first time I met Corey. He was sitting in our basement watching the ninja turtles... I went down there to talk to my brother and saw him, I just looked at him, and was like "who are you?" and he was like "hey Im Corey!" and he jumped up to shake my hand. He was there with my brother, Jon... and Ryan Johnson. He loved the ninja turtles. I learned to love Corey like he was my brother... he was always there for me when I needed him... and he knew i was there for him. Even in my worst of moods, he'd always cheer me up... and make me smile. I remember I'd get so angry at him for stupid things, and Id sit there and yell at him, and he'd yell back at me, with a laughing tone, and then we both would just start cracking up, and things would be fine again. He was a great friend, and brother figure to me, and my brother Jon. COREY CHASE... YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN, I LOVE YOU! Love, Anna Schmaedeka
