I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Corbin was a student in both my 10th and then 11th grade history classes. I will never forget his outgoing personality and positive attitude. He always made class seem more interesting and fun for not only his classmates but also myself. He was a pleasure to have in class and will be missed greatly.

I am so sorry to hear about Corbin. I was his bus driver all throughout high school. I can remember so many times Corbin running up the hill to catch the bus with his hair all spikey and his shoes not even tied yelling for me to wait for him. Meanwhile, one of his buddies yelling out the window for him to hurry. He always had us laughing about something. What a character he was, but also a very good kid. Karisa I hope you can find some peace within to deal with your brothers loss. I will keep all of you in my prayers and thank you for having such beautiful and nice children. All my best.

I am glad that the time I got to spend with corbin was time well spent, at the mountain, when we decided that I was going to learn how to snowboard and that he was to ski, we just laughed the entire time on our butts. When I went to prom with him, he was such a gentlemen, thanks to his wonderful parents, that night is one I will always remember. Corbin will be missed will all of my heart, I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the memorial services today at 3 but I will try to visit after things have calmed down a bit. I will be in touch. With much love, Laura.

Audrey,
I was so saddened to hear about Corbin. Many years ago you, your mom, and Nana welcomed me into your family and treated me like your own. You were so kind and loving to me that I can only imagine what a wonderful relationship you have had with your own children through the years. They are as lucky to have you as you are to have them, and I hope that in these difficult days to come, memories of love and laughter help you. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Dear Audrey, Keith, & Karisa
I've been sitting in front of this screen for over and hour with a big sore lump in my throat, trying to come up with some kind of magical words that I can type in and make every thing better for you all. I really tried and i am sorry.
At times like this I find myself both sad and mad wondering why the Good Lord could allow such bad things to happen to such wonderful people.
As much as I TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT I always come to the same conclusion That GOD has to get his ANGELS some where.
We will always have fond memorys of our scouting days with Corbin, He was a great young man and a top notch skunk in the Troop 72 Skunk Patrol. I always enjoyed having Corbin on camp outs. OH BOY HERE COMES CORBIN!!! He was lots of fun!!
Have no dought we are greiveing with you and for you. We are So So Sorry.
Love Bob & Andrea Danenhower, Bobby & Brent

My hearfelt sorrow to you and your family for the loss of such a happy and charismatic young man. Corbin always made our candidate classes interesting.

My dearest sympathies for Corbin's family and friends. Corbin was a good friend of mine. we rode dirt bike's almost every sunday together in the summer. We also were confirmed together at Nativity Luthern Church. He's an amazing person and will be missed tremendously. He was a fun and caring person; he always had a smile on his face and laughed a lot. My prayers and thoughts of Corbin will always remain. He will be greeted well in heaven with a huge parade and will be looking down on us. With love and sympathy.

We are sorry for your loss of your son. Surely he stands next to Jesus, completely understanding God's mysterious ways. My Father was killed instantly in an auto accident; not having a chance to say "Good-bye" is terribly sad. We hope this poem will help you to understand...
I'll Lend You My Child
I'll lend you for a little time
a child of mine, He said.
For you to love - while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his smiles to gladden you,
And should this stay be brief
You'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this world over
In search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd
Life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor count the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to
Take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.
But should the Angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that came
And try to understand...

Though I did not know your son, Corbin, or your family, I wanted to express our condolences. There's so many things in life we cannot understand. Losing a loved one so young is one of those things. May your faith and loving memories of Corbin help you through your very, very difficult time. Even Jesus wept, so grieve but know that he is in a better place. Call on God for His guidance.
And I will pray that you and your family may find peace in the midst of your heartbreak.
May the care of friends, family and loved ones comfort you during these days
In your alone time browse 2 Corinthians 1; 3-5 for Biblical words on comfort.
Peace be yours and to all those affected by the accident.
. In Chistian love, we send our care, prayers and thoughts.
