Corey Henricksen Obituary
Corey is survived by his mom and dad, Lori Dee Henricksen (Corderman) and Patrick Joseph Henricksen, his brother Alec Joseph Henricksen and his wife Carsyn Elizabeth (Rogers) and their 2-month-old son, Joel Joseph. Also surviving are grandmas Jean Monica Henricksen and Audrey Dee Derr, as well as eight aunts and uncles and ten cousins and one second cousin. Corey was proceeded in death by his grandpas, Leonard John Henricksen and Daniel Dean Corderman and Uncle Michael Dean Corderman.
Corey was born in Denver, Colorado and moved with his family to Grand Junction, Colorado in 2000. He graduated from Fruita Monument High School in 2013. Corey played Football and Lacrosse and worked at the Fruita Recreation Center where he was a lifeguard.
After graduation, he attended Concordia College in Mequon, Wisconsin for 2 years playing for the Lacrosse team. He then transferred to Ft Lewis College in Durango where he helped lead the Lacrosse team to two playoff appearances in his two ALL-RMLC years on the team. Corey graduated in 2017 with a degree in Political Science.
Corey fell in love with Durango, we do not think he would have ever left Durango. While in college Corey worked at the Durango Recreation Center as a lifeguard and started coaching youth Lacrosse. He worked at Purgatory Mountain for six seasons, first as a lift operator and then as a snow maker/groomer driving a snow cat. During the summers Corey was a raft guide for Colorado Outback Adventures. He loved the river, Purgatory Mountain, and his co-workers. He took pride in doing his best at all his jobs. Corey continued to coach Lacrosse at the youth level, for Durango High School and Ft. Lewis College Lacrosse teams. He was currently an assistant coach for the Durango High School team and was looking forward to the upcoming season.
Corey was a great kid (young man), everything a parent could ask for: kind, compassionate, accepting of others, smart, hardworking, passionate and extremely talented. Corey loved rafting, lacrosse, Star Wars movies and a "calm" game of cards with friends. Corey will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

Please bring pictures and your stories of your good times together. There will also be a wake on Friday March 1st from 3 to 6pm at Hood Mortuary at 1261 East 3rd Ave. Durango.

When we moved too CO Corey and family lived behind us. Our Labrador would get out and run to the Henrickson´s house and this did not make Corey happy. Corey and Alex grew up to be such great men. Love and peace, Mary Ann Badalamenti

Corey was a close friend of mine through high school; he was such a wonderful friend - always down for adventures, hockey, and just spending time with all of his friends. "Sonic runs" were our activity of choice :) You are so, so loved and missed.

I first met Corey when he was visiting Lori and Pat in Pagosa Springs. I hired him to do a flagstone patio in our backyard. He was a very polite and friendly young man and a hard worker. I grieve for Lori, Pat, and Alec, and the entire family. May he be at peace and I pray the family will find the strength to get through these difficult times.

Corey was a talented, funny guy and loved his family. He was almost always having fun and truly seemed to find himself in the outdoors. I grieve for Pat, Lori, and the Alec/Carson Family. He was a good boy and will be missed
