Corey Pierce Obituary
PIERCE, COREY DOUGLAS, 19 - of Absecon, passed away on Sunday, November 26, 2006 . He was born at Atlantic City Medical Center, Atlantic City, and resided most of his life in Galloway Township/ Port Republic, moving briefly to McGregor Lake, MT with his mother and father and most recently living with his loving grandparents, Bill and Irene Pierce of Absecon. Corey attended Assumption Regional School and was a graduate of Holy Spirit High School Class of 2005. He regularly attended Mass at Assumption Church and was a member of their Youth Group. Corey loved his job at Calvi Electric of Atlantic City and worked hard at his landscaping business. He enjoyed surfing, soccer and snowboarding and liked working on his truck and playing with children. He loved spending time with his extended family "The Mendillo's", going on family trips to Wilmington, NC. Corey was happy, loving, energetic and a hard worker. He was fun and athletic. He had a great time competing in the Port Republic Triathlon. Their team Fam-Love consisted of his father, Garry, his aunt, Rachelle and his cousin, Randy. He was an avid Eagles fan. Corey was predeceased by his maternal grandfather, Ron Wetzel, who has welcomed him into Heaven. He is survived by his mother and father, Garry and Ronda Pierce of McGregor Lake, MT; his sister and best friend, Ashley and her husband, Mike Parker of Kalispell, MT; his favorite dog, Rusty (big dog); his maternal grandmother, Rita Wetzel of South Carolina; maternal aunts and uncles, Charles and Rachelle Jarvis of Galloway and their children, Nadia and Dana; Randy and Jodi Wetzel of Ventnor and their children, Randy, Bethany, Lauren, Heather and Rachel; Ronnie Wetzel of Pennsylvania and his children, Chris and Amber; his paternal grandparents, Bill and Irene Pierce; his paternal uncle Douglas and Bridget Pierce and their daughter, Gracie (his godchild), all of Absecon. Everyone who knew Corey knew he would drop anything for anyone who needed him, no matter what. He always put others first, that's just the kind of kid he was. He will never ever be forgotten by all of his many, many friends who loved him dearly. Visitation with family and friends will be from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM on Friday, December 1, 2006 at Assumption Church in Pomona, with Mass immediately following at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 332 North Lauderdale, Memphis TN 38105.

Hi, I did not know Corey, but I came across one of his Eagles' pictures on the internet, and a site dedicated to him with some pictures. Here is to the 2007 Eagles, Corey, hopefully you and my Dad can help us out this year.

Garry, Ronda & Ashley: What an incredible loss which our hearts are with you on. Your great parents. We all have our own destiny which can't be explained. I'm sorry buddy I wasn't there for you - we just didn't know. We'll always remember his personality and how inquisitive he was. When he was sleeping over, in the morning he insisted on telling us his Mom & Dad said it was OK to have ice cream for breakfast. Knowing he wouldn't lie, we gave him some. Don't loose your strength now. You too "Mr. and Mrs. P"!! Love Bob & Grace

I recently heard the news about Corey. I taught Corey in First Grade at Assumption Regional School and will always remember his wonderful personality and smile. I will also never forget the Pierce family. They were always so kind and caring. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. and Mrs. Pierce and Ashley, whom I taught also in Third Grade. God Bless all of you and please remember that I am thinking of you. Mrs. Plummer

Garry,Ronz & Ash,
It's so lonely without all of you. I miss the stories, all of Corey's friends around and driving in the truck listening to all the great music. But mostly I miss Corey, his big big brown eyes his infectious smile and just his quite, cute way he would just come up behind you & give you a hug. It's so unbelieveable (still) to me that he's gone although I know you feel is 10 times worse. I'm sure all the WHY'S will never be answered, just like the "WHAT-IF'S". But I know everyday I'll think of him & how he went out of his way to make others smile and I know he'll make me a better me.......love you shell

First of all I would like to extend my deepest sympathy for your loss.Corey was a good friend of mine since i was a junior in high school. The first time i met Corey,it was the port republic triathlon.I thought he was the craziest yet funniest kid i'd iver met.He had this energy that not even i could compare to. Yes the green shirt seemed to be a favorite of his.He wore it well. The last time i talked to him was wednesday the 22nd after i got back from school,he asked me to hang out,and i said that we could possibly on saturday but most definitley on christmas break. When i found out he passed,i was completely devastated because of not hanging out with him when i said i was going to.I miss him so much,and to my dismay i might not be able to make it on friday.I felt like i needed to say my goodbye to make it up to Corey for not spending time with him over the break.If you could tell him that I'm utterly sorry and that I'll see him when i get up there,I would appreciate it.Also let him know that i love him. He'll be a part of my heart forever.Life goes on even when its tough,I know Coreys making the big guy laugh with his green shirt.It's so hard without him.I'm gonna miss Corey alot..

Very sad and sorry the world has lost such a special boy,son,brother,cousin,nephew,and grandson. i always talked about him how great a kid.how he was so cool,easy going and smiles all the time.So many people he touched and made an impression.

Dear Corey's parents, i cannot stop praying for your precious and beautiful son. I also have and 18 year old daughter who knew of your son. Her name is Ashley and her boyfriend is Dan Callaghan. She told me he was the nicest boy. I truly am sorry for the loss of Corey. He will always be in my prayers also my mom who lost her 20 year old son(John) from a heart attack while he was jogging on a beautiful june sunny day. I pray that God gives you the same strength he gave my parents when they endured that terrible tradgedy. I will light candles with my mom at the little chapel near assumption school. I will pray that God will guide you through this. He is now an angel with the three young ladies Maggie,Jules,and Amanda who lost there lives in an accident,and also sweet little shelby of Absecon. With sincere love Kris Costello,Ashley Costello,Jim Costello,Ann and Karen Walsh. WE are all thinking of you and praying...

We realize that the words(i'm sorry)do not begin to express the loss you are feeling at this time.As Corey's teacher,I have been thinking of him these last few sad days.Corey always had a smile and a kind greeting for me.He knew how to lighten up any tense situation in the classroom,and could always be counted on for a joke or kind word.I often lost many(bets) that we made,it could have been about the eagles or the weather,it seemed that i always lost the bet.More importantly Corey was always a gentleman,a tribute to his family.I still have the pictures of Corey with Courtney at her senior prom,what a good friend he was to her,and the perfect date.Thankyou for sharing him with us at Holy Spirit and more importantly as a great friend of my daughter.With our deepest sympathy and keeping all of you in our prayers.

Dear Ashley,Ronda, and Garry,
The years I had the pleasure of helping coach Ashley at Holy Spirit,gave me a glimpse into your family life.You are all such warm hearted,good people.As with Ashley,I was very impressed with Corey.He was a special young man,full of kindness and fun.There are no words to express my sadness for all of you and all of Corey's friends. I give you my prayers and my heartfelt sympathy

cory has been my favorite cuz along w/ ashley. we always used to race to the pool and see who would go in 1st we would take turns tying to push each other in... considering that i'm only eleven you might take a guess who would always win. after we got out of the pool i would stand at the end of my garage and he would stand up by the patio. we would throw the football for hours!!!! i always had fun w/ him . if we weren't in the pool we were playing in the snow. we would always gang up on ashley and snowball her till she was buried... but when i wasnt looking ashley and corey would get me... i remeber one time when he was babysitting us i was about 4 and my sister nadia was 5 i hid in the closet and he would open one door and i would always go out the other one. i always had fun w/ him . we would always play hide n go seek in the basement, but he would always let us win. one fall day we were in the basement and rachel my cuz, nadia, and rando cando chicken on pando was there corey was on randy's team and i on rachel's and nadia's team we would take little blow up hammers and hit each other with them. we always had fun times with corey and i cant wait to see him again.

I was fortunate enough to be Corey's lunch lady for 4 years.He,as well as his sister ,Ashley,would talk to me almost every day.I knew a lot about him from talking to him so much and he was so sweet.I always will remember his smiling face at my counter,buying ice cream every day! I ran into Corey this summer when my boyfriend and i stopped by his uncle Doug's house.Corey was on a ladder putting siding onto Doug's garage.As usual,he was smiling! I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Corey was sweet,special young man who touched many hearts.

We wish we could offer you some advice that would make things better, but there isn't anything that will. Just know that there is no wrong way to grieve. Do whatever you need to do to get through the pain. So many people were there for us when Caitlin died, but it's hard for most people to understand what it's like to lose a child. If you ever need to talk, at any time, we would love to hear about Corey and love to talk about Caitlin. You are in our thoughts and our prayers.

Corey was an amazing young man.I
feel my life will always be better because i was able to know him.Corey always took time to play with my son when he came to the shop. Colton would ask Corey to take him shopping and no matter how busy Corey was he would put colton in the shopping cart and off they would go..they would come back with all kinds of things in the cart and colton would be smiling from ear to ear..he always made that time and i always appreciated that..when i told my family of the loss my 4
year old son colton said "do you mean my shopping buddy" and i cried..he was a great young man who had an infectous attitude on life and i will never forget him.Take comfort in knowing we will all see him again and his crazy hair and big smile.He always made us smile and laugh and for that i will always be greatful and try to carry some of his spirit for life with me.
you are in our prayers.

Gary, it was a pleasure to meet you last year with my brother.
You have our condolences along with these words to share...
I Thess. 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Rhonda,
So sorry to hear about your son. You were my mom's nurse while she was getting aredia injections. You were always so nice and kind to us and cheerful and a true professional. And of course, you talked about your children,(your kitchen) and your forthcoming move. I didn't know your son, but I can only imagine he was as kind and upbeat as you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care and my condolensces to you and your family. Sincerely,
