Corey Herring Obituary

Corey

HERRING

Corey was welcomed to this world on September 11, 1992 and began his eternal life on June 21, 2009. He was one of those boys everyone loved, compassionate for life and motorcycles. He loved his family, friends, animals and racing.

Corey is survived by his parents, Phil and Penny; younger brother, Jordan; grandparents; great-grandmother, aunts, uncles, great-aunts and uncles, cousins and so many wonderful friends. He will be deeply missed.

Services will be Friday, June 26, 2009 11 a.m. at USA Parkway Racetrack at the location where he left us. In lieu of flowers, an account has been set up at any Bank of America branch in the name of Herring Family Assistance Fund.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Hey Corey.

Today marks 15 years since you left this world.

I miss you so much bud. There were so many things I wanted to have memories with you. Having you attens my College graduation. My wedding as a groomsmen. And so much more.

It hurts that you aren't here with us. But I know you have been watching us from above.

Rest easy my friend.

Until we meet again.

Kevin

Corey,

Today's June 19th, 2021. We're two days shy of 12 years since you've been gone. 12... it's been so long, but it's gone by so fast at the same time. It's strange, because sometimes I still feel like the 15 year old kid I was when you left. But then I realize I'm almost 28 and the existential crisis sets in LOL. Life's funny that way.

I feel like I'm not the best with words anymore, but I guess I just wanted to write something since you were on my mind. 12 years and you're still very much so missed. Time does heal, but it won't ever fully go away I think. I look back fondly and smile now. I have so many wonderful memories. I do wish, though, that I could've seen who you would have become. I know we all do.

Take care, Corey. Keep flyin'.

Corey,

My friend, its been 11 years since you left this world, and its painful to not see you with us but the memories feel so fresh still. Today I heard a song called Brother by Adelitas Way, I think you would have liked them as a band, they came from our home state of NV. But hearing the song just reminded me of when I first met you when I moved to Reno, NV in 2006-07. You went out of your way to make me feel included when we met. I don't know what it was, but as the years went on I felt like I could call you not only my brother but a close friend. It sucks here without you man. all the memories are there still, but not seeing what you could have done is by far harder than anything else.

Sincerely,

Kevin Lomelin, or as coach Rutger called me, Big L

Corey,
How has it already been over a year?
You would have been 18 today; officially an adult.
God I miss you. You were one of the most amazing guys I had ever known
I love you and miss you.
Tedi put your sticker up in the back of the bus last year. We all used to have so much fun back there!
Happy birthday kurara.
We all miss you something awful.

Corey:

Happy 18th birthday. Today you would have “officially” been an adult – old enough to vote, yet still too young to drink.

I, like everyone who knew and loves you, struggle with the fact that your life was cut short. I had hoped you would live a long and happy life.

Instead of focusing on your death, I am really trying hard to focus on your life. You lived, you loved and you were loved. You had a passion for life, for living life to the fullest, and for family. You found something you loved to do, and you excelled at it (racing). You were happy and healthy.

While I am sad that you are no longer here on earth, I am grateful that you had such a good life in the short time you were here.

September 10, 2010

Happy Birthday, Corey! We love and miss you very much! Please be Jake's angel this weekend and always! He is racing this weekend in Elko. I know you are always racing with him. Love you long time, Suzi, Dan and Jake

Dear Corey,
It has been one year since you've gone away. I can't believe how much time has flown by in this last year. There's never a day that goes by that you're not in my thoughts. You were my best friend. And I miss you severely. Today was a hard day for all of us, but I know you're there somewhere, watching over us all. I'll always remember the good times we've had together and the memories we got to share. And keep watch over Penny, Phil and Jordan; I know they miss you dearly and they love you very, very much. You're their guardian angel now.
I love you and miss you, Corey Corey.
I hope I will see you again someday.
Love,

Dear Corey, It means so impossible that you left to go be with all the angles. One year now has almost come. We often think of you and how short your young life was. I can't even believe that you are gone. Terry often talks about you. We sure miss your big smile. I can't imagine the pain that your mom and dad feel. Please let your Mom and Dad know that you are OK now and that you are with the angles. Corey this is not good bye, for it is a short time that we will see you again. You must have been so special for the lord to have chosen you to go be with him. We will still think of you often and still cry. We love you Corey. You are free and have no pain now so ride like you never rode before. Penny, Phil and Jordon we love and care about all of you so much. We will always have Corey in our hearts.
Love Dee, Dillon and kids

Our Dear Corey,
Today you have been on my heart. I often think of you. I still can't believe that you left and went to the heavens. I often look at my kids and can't imagine the pain that your mom, dad and Jordan are going through. Just knowing that you are safe and no pain is a comfort. Watch over your mom and dad and brother. We love you, Merry Christmas.

Corey,
I have been so looking forward to the days that I could tease you and give you some of the same grief that you gave me about trucks and some of the bone headed errors that inevitably come along with teenagers and automobiles. For ten years, in the summers that you would come to Colorado, you would tease me about this or that being broken or why isn’t the truck running. And for ten years I’ve been waiting to repay you with the same words of encouragement and kindness that you gave me every time something wasn’t working right. Well, really they weren’t words of kindness but berating, insults that came from a kid who even at six years old had an almost grown up humor and wit about him. I could not wait for you to get your license and allow me the opportunity to laugh at your expense. And like in many of life’s adventures Corey did not disappoint at this either. Only a couple of short weeks after getting your license, Grandma told me of your first incident, and it did make me laugh!!!! What made me laugh even harder was the punishment and words that I knew you would have to endure from your mom. I could imagine Phil, really just laughing the whole thing off, but not your Mom. What a trouble maker, but not really. A good kid, a great kid, a kid who loved life and liked to have fun.
If the quality of the life that you live can be evaluated by the number of friends and people around us who care, then Corey, your life was full and rich like no other. I was amazed by the number of people

Dee Moore

August 8, 2009

My dear friend Penny, I want you to know that there is not a day that goes by sense Corey left, that I don't think about him, you Phil and Jordan. I can't say that I know the pain as a mother that you must being going through. I want you to know that I'm here for you anytime. I love you Penny. Just keep Corey in your heart and all those great memories of him. Turn the bear on! Just know that he will always be there with the three of you.
Love your friend Dee

Penny, I cannot even begin to imagine what your life has been thrown into. You have been in my thoughts and memories throughout the years. You and your family will always be in my prayers.Please know that you have to be your CRAZY FUN LOVING self (just to get through this) not just for you but for your two boys and Phil.

Brandon Myers

July 26, 2009

Dear Corey,
I am not as eloquent with my words as so many of these people are. I love you and am glad we saw each other so much over the past year. I remember when Pen and Phil brought you to Durango the first time. I was the baby of the family until that point. I had felt a lot of what I now know was jealousy for losing my place as the baby. We argued a lot while growing up together and I will always feel a certain amount of guilt because I was older and should have handled a lot differently. I am sorry for being a brat to you. I will do my best to watch out for your family. I hope that you have found peace as everyone here struggles to find it too. You will be missed and always loved. Love, Brandon

July 25, 2009

Grandson this is not the way it should be you waiting for me when I should be waiting for you.There's a higher purpose which only God and his Angels(which you are now one)know what that puepose is.I will miss your smile ,your humor and looking up to you.From the amount of support we all had during that sad time it is easy to see that you were much loved,with many good friends,a person can't ask for more than that out of life. Pen ,Phil and Jordan take comfort that Corey is in a better place and that he left us doing what what he loved.We will all be together some day. Love Grandfather

Ed Aber

July 24, 2009

This is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to write. I have been trying to wrap my head around the semantics of how to write it so that I didn't have to think about what I was going to write. Everyone is still a little in shock and will be for a long time. I guess I will start this out with my thoughts;

Despite all of the grief, sadness and despair, whenever I think about "Cockadoo" (nicknamed by me at a very young age because of the cow lick that never seemed to lay down) I can't help but smile. I didn't know the competitor that Corey grew to be. I didn't share the interest in moto as he did and in fact, living so far away, I never got to see him ride. The person that makes me smile even today, is that tall "kid" with the "Shaggy" hairstyle (which I am sure he stole from Scooby Doo), those overly large, sincere deer eyes, and that sheepish smile/smirk. I can honestly say that Corey's goodness came from his kind heart and that is evident by the number of lives that a boy of a mere 16 year of age, affected. He touched everyone he knew in their own special way.

I do take solace in the fact that Corey passed immediately, doing something he loved to do, and that Phil was there with him. I know from deep within that Corey’s death was not in vain. He was sent to be with all of us for a reason and was a special person. He touched so many lives on earth that I know , even though it is hard for us to understand and accept, that God needed Corey more that we did. He has something very special in mind for a very special young man. These things make me smile inside and out.

I was amazed at the community support shown to all of us during that fateful week. What a great community you live have and a special group for support.

PENNY, PHIL AND PEANUT (JORDAN): You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. There is little that support, encouragement or peaceful wishes can do to heal your pain. Time is the only thing that will dull the pain and it will probably never extinguish it. My only advise is that you find the strength to smile when you think about Corey. Don’t dwell on the tragedy of it all because there are so many special moments that you have shared. You have always been great parents and a brother (even though Corey’s Mom is a little crazy, believe me Corey when I say that I feel you on that one LOL).

To Corey’s young friends: I met a lot of Corey’s young friend during the week that I was there. Lean on each other, Penny and Phil, and your family to deal with you loss. Live life to the fullest! Work hard to accomplish your dreams and don’t give up. (If I hear other wise… there are some of you that I will come down there and twist up!)

To Jacque: Save this thought for down the road because I know you are probably not ready to hear this, but, one day, you will meet someone special. It will not be Corey. Corey’s greatest gift to you is the relationship you had, the ups and downs and the experience of true love. When you are ready, he would want you to move on and to be happy.

Corey “Went Big and Went Home”, he did not knock on heaven’s door, but twisted the accelerator, hit the jump and cleared the gate coming to a screeching halt on the inside. We will see you again,


Love,
Uncle Ed

Dear Penny & family ,

A poem for Corey.

It's so hard to realize that you are gone.
Your time was too early, you didn't live long.
Now all that's left are memories unspoken.
We are all here, we are all broken.
There won't be a day that passes us by,
that you won't be with us, or not on our minds.
Because you were always there, you cared for us all.
Now you'll ride along with us, and won't let us fall.
There are so many people you left here alone.
But we know that you're safe now, free to ride and roam.
Flying so high like you always do.
So, ride on Corey, and we'll all see you soon.

by Chelsea White.

To Corey's family:
Corey was an amazing person and his memory will always remain with us. He was a great guy and he will never be forgotten. He was one of the best friends I ever had, and ever will. It's heart breaking that he's gone, but he's flying high among those stars, and he's your guardian angel now. My deepest apologies for your loss, and we are all here for you. You guys raised an amazing kid.

Rest in Peace, Corey Herring.
In our heads and hearts forever.
And in mine, as well.
Miss you and love you, kid.
Fly High.

Corey...
I don't even know where to start. We did not talk much. I knew you from classes and that was about it. But you were an amazing person. The smiles and laughter you brought to my friends was enough to make me know that you were a great person. You will be deeply missed.
As for the family, know that you are in mine and my families prayers. We know this is hard and we want you to know that your not alone in this.
So sorry for the terrible loss.
We loved him..

Pen and Phil and family,
well I was very sadend to hear such horrible news. It is not easy to lose a loved one as I am dealing with it to. As I lost my dad. But I knew Cory before he became a big time racer too. He left an imprint on many and will be missed dearly. His death has tought me to appreciate life and the loved ones in it. Like I said he was such a wonderful person. my prayers are with you always. love courtney.

My special grandson
The Thrill Seeker!

From the day you were born you were a twinkle in everyone's eye
a special boy
a special smile
beautiful eyes.
The summers you spent with us (knowing to soon you would outgrow us) were a delight-
the shear determination to jump the pond on your bike-the crashes-only to do it again (thus earning the nickname of Thrill Seeker.
The time you saw a moose-
the day you picked the linolium off the floor-
the years you believed Santa only came to Colorado-
the amusement parks where you would seek out the fastest and highest rides-
As you grew up you lived your dream-
You lived COREY!
We are so proud of you-
You will be truely missed and forever in our hearts-
Thanks so much to-
Phil for being your best friend and dad
Pen for being your mom
Jordy for being the best little brother
We love you all

Phil and Penny, the words "I'm sorry" seem so hollow at a time like this. They never brought me comfort. It's the friends and family, and those who loved me that simply wrapped their arms around me, and held me tight. It's the prayers that I felt from everyone concerned. So know that my prayers are with you. Feel my arms around you both, holding you tight. May God comfort you, and give unto you "His Peace."

My heart goes out to all of you, so very sorry! I read a bit about your amazing son and saw some killer pics, lucky kid had a great life. I can only think of how precious life is & how unfairly it can be taken so quickly. We never know how long we have on this planet so we must appreciate the time we have and those we have it with! Hand in there and treasure the memories.
Peace

Although I did not have an opportunity to meet Corey; I knew him through you, Penny. Yes, he was and always will be a wonderful son. I pray that God will hold your family together and give you comfort. No words can express our sorrow for you. God bless you all.

Phil & Penny,
Our love and prayers go out to you -- that you would find comfort and healing in His nail-scarred hands. The teens here in Cold Springs who were Josh's class and school bus mates simply adored him and are cut to the heart with you.
