Corey Mason Obituary

MASON, Corey Patrick
Born 5/20/87, spread his wings on 1/25/06. There are men who live long lives and are remembered little, and there are legends who live short lives and are remembered forever. On January 25, 2006, our beautiful boy, Corey Patrick Mason, spread his wings so he could be a pure angel. Recipients were found for all of his organs so that other people may see through his eyes & live a longer life and carry on his legacy of love and kindness. We know he will be here in spirit. He was sent here as an angel for a purpose & that is why he was soooooo perfect. He touched so many people in so many ways & most people never do that in a lifetime. Corey was welcomed into Heaven in the arms of (G.G.) Ruth Parker, grandma Elizabeth Link, grandpa Kenneth Mason, Hana & Josie. Corey is watching over his family: mom, Kelly Parker; dad, Mitch Mason; papa & grandma, Gary & Bobbie Parker; grandma, Patrice Nickerson; uncles, Jon Mason, David Hylton & Sean Decker; aunt, Val Mason; aunties, Tracy (Mike) Collett, Bridget (Joan) Parker, Shauna Parker (Marc Mess- ner), Kim (Mike) Sichler, Erin (Tamme) Parker; loving cousins, Melissa (Rudy), David, Kirsten Hylton, Kenny Mason, Tyler Decker, Micheal Collett, Matthew & Abbey Sichler & a countless family of FRIENDS. <3 you Baby Boo! Corey's Celebration of Life will be held Friday, Feb. 3, 2006 at 2pm at Valley Springs Presbyterian Church, 2401 Olympus Dr., Roseville. A trust fund has been established in Corey's name at American River Bank, 10123 Fair Oaks Blvd., Fair Oaks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Golden State Organ Program. For those of you who were lucky enough to have him cross your path in life, you are blessed to know your guardian angel's name, R.I.P. Corey Patrick (Purple) Mason.

Hello my precious guardian angel. You have been in my thoughts so much lately. I am not sure if it is because it is getting close to the one year anniversary of me losing my leg or what, but I feel your presence and I want you to know how comforting it is to have you in my thoughts.
Please tell grandpa hi and tell him how much I love him.
Thank you Corey for being my guardian angel and seeing me through all my difficulties these past few years. You touched the hands of the surgeons and guided them to help heal me. I love you so much!

I didn't know you personally, Corey, but my sister did and I can tell you that you had a very positive effect on her life and I want you to know that I appreciate that, even though you don't even know me.

Thank you, Corey 'Purple' Mason, very much. My best wishes to you, up there in the city of clouds, and to your family.

Funny that I didn't even know this guest book exsisted....I just went over the enteries of many people whom I know that have written so many wonderful, loving things to you...and all I can do is wish that you didn't leave....I wonder if that is wrong of me to want....I sometimes just wonder if I could yell out your name and you would send me a sign letting me know you are there....I could use your advice from time to time...I love you corey...I didn't know you like some and knew you better than others....but somehow it just feels all screwed up inside....I just want to know you are well...or that you are safe...I hate the fact that I don't know...but hey you know me corey...CONTROL FREAK like no other...hahahaha!!! Talk to me sometime....you know where to find me....you always did!!! I love you.....

dearest son.....

missing you beyond comprehension..
i drive around seemingly fine then a scream slowly swells in my throat.
as i work thru the day talking and laughing, suddenly my thoughts go to you and time seems to stop if only for a moment or two.
i realize again your gone and i struggle to understand why. i know you have welcomed your friend Kati into your new world, care for her and teach her well my angel and remind her to find her way to her parents as often as she can to let them know and feel her...

i love you corey and here again i am left with the longest wait of my life to see my favorite person EVER!!!

we love you. Kelly Dunn-Goligowski

Hey Corey,

Thinking about you always brings back nothing but great memories. Like learning martial arts together, getting your chicken pox via the bath tub, watching movies, playing with the jungle jim at the apartments, and how you would always call me a doughnut-head. Good times, every one of them.

May God bless you and keep you safe.

Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you today, and I will light a candle for you tonight.

Mitchell Mason

January 26, 2007

To my beloved son:

i can not believe it has been a year without you. i love and miss you like it was yesterday

Can you see me now ?
i walk in the shadows
darkend by night.
my silhouette vanishes
as i step in the light
i wander thru dreams
like a great apparition
touching your skin
with a whispering grasp
i place in your path
a memory of me
or place somthing precious
somplace it shouldnt be
i open up doors
when closed oh so tight
i'm with you my ninja's
as you wander the night
im here in your heart
im here in your mind
where ever you want
just look and you'll find
when pain fills your heart
or angst fills soul
remember our good times
and once again you'll feel whole
in the blink of an eye
or a gasp of a breath
in a whithering sigh
i'm life after death....

Can you see me now ?

i look forward to our litle tribute to you tonight at the underground and knowing you will be there with us all is a comforting thought. i love you son, and am patiently waiting till the day i meet you at heavens gate.

September 23, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

hello awesome little man...

you have been deeply on my mind as of late, i have been doing everything in my power to move forward with life, but without you here it is extremely difficult. but worry not as i will soldier on. i love you and miss you more and more every day that passes.... i find myself wishing at times that my time on this rock would pass faster than the rest of the world around me so i can sit in heavens wienerschnitzel and have a couple of chili cheese dogs with you and just chill with my boy....

i look forward to our trip to S.F. to see if you come to us when we see John Edwards on sept, 13th.. i sure hope your goofy butt shows up in full purpleness....

i love you Corey, and i miss you more than anyone around me knows...

Dear Corey,

Happy Birthday! Your family and friends miss you so much. It seems as if you should still be here with everyone. Olivia sure does miss her "big Corey." You'll always be a special friend to her that she'll never forget. We still think about you all of the time. I know today that Heaven is having the biggest birthday party ever for you!!! I miss hearing the funny stories about you from your mom and from my mom when she would see you. You are truly missed. Happy Birthday, angel!!!!

Love,

Kendra and Olivia

Corey, We are so glad we got a chance to meet you and get to know you a little. Yesterday was a benefit show at the Boardwalk in your name. You brought so much beauty and love to this earth. It really showed last night with all your friends and family coming together. You did a beautiful thing by donating your organs so others could continue their lives while adding signifigance to other lives.

You are truly an Angel. We really felt your presence at the boardwalk after the show was over when you were pushing a balloon around the room, stopping to hover over us as to say hello. We will always remember you, for you being able to be who you are and not care if anyone thought you were different. We will remember the funny and silly things you did to make your mom's friends freak out.(like the cow costume). We will miss you. We love you, take care until we meet again.

Kelly and Mitch,

We are so proud to call you both friend. We will ALWAYS be here for you anytime of day or night.We can only imagine the emptyness you both must feel not having Corey here anymore. We feel your pain completely in our hearts and soul. The time will come, when the three of you will be together again.

You both made a very UNSELFISH decision when you chose to donate Coreys' Organs so others may live on. He is truly an ANGEL. We know there are no words or gesture that will ever take away the pain you feel, just know that Corey lives on in all of us.

Your loving friends Forever and a Day,

Steve and Katrina Sallagoity

dearest Corey.

i have no idea how to walk this world without you here, so i am asking for your guidence... my mind still replays over and over those last moments holding your hand and caressing your face, hoping, praying that you would awaken and reach up and hug me back. but that moment never came. my mind knows that you have left this plane of existance, but my heart and soul refuse to let go.. it hurts so deeply and i miss you so very much that sometimes i wonder if i can go on. but i must..... so please my son, my guardian angel, my inspiration for a better life. look in from time to time and let me know your near....

i love you with everything that is me and i miss hearing your voice, and seeing your precious face..

you now bless the heavens with your beautiful aura and jesterlike grace, wings on high smile free young man and wait for me at the gate. for what will seem an eternity to me will be but a fleeting second to you......

till we meet again

my love for you will never fade....

Dad........

Corey was a good friend to me. He was always quick to a joke and full of life, we spent many a school morning as young teens causing trouble around Del Campo. I lost contact with him, and feel great remorse for doing so.

Corey was a lover of music, and in his memory I recall Shakespeare's passage

"Who chants a doleful hymn to his own death?"

Ruslana Pyavka

February 12, 2006

Corey you were an awesome person.I didn't get to know you as well as I would've liked to but I'm happy to say that I knew you.You touched my life & have opened up my eyes that life isn't as long as we think it is.We should live eveyday to the fullest. I met you at the mall, when everyone else was being rude to me cause I wasn't like them, you didn't know me but you stood up for me. I will always love you for that. The best day must have been when you me & Travis went to watch Charlie & the Chocolate Factory..Than went to safeway, than you guys took me home. Well I will miss you & thanks for being a sweetheart....Til we meet again....

P.S. Kelly even though you've heard it over a million times you had an awesome son...Heaven was missing an angel, so they had to fill the last place & It was Corey's place.I hope to meet you someday to talk to you in person...

R.I.P Corey "Purple" Mason....We all love you.

February 12, 2006

I miss you my Beautiful Angel Boy. i really beleive you were here on loan to us as an earth Angel & i Am so Proud that you chose Me to be your mom. I remember telling you when you were little that god blessed me with a perfect child because you are/were always such a good kid. Little did i know you were here as an earth Angel. And Now i know your watching over all of those you loved. And you were loved by sooo many people. it's too bad everyone left here on earth can't TRY to be like you so that our time here is easier to get through in this messed up world we live in. People thrive on negativity in this world & i beleive that EVERYONE creates they're own Kharma whether it's good or bad. I hope you can try to help all your loved one's continue on like you and keep the legacy you left behind going. until im embraced by your purple wings i LOVE you more than anything in this whole galaxy & all of us are BLESSED to have you as our guardian Angel. I love you baby Love Mom

i remember seeing you at kayla's party, about 3 or 4 days before you died. i remember giving you a hug mumbling something about finally getting to hang out. little did i know that was to be the last time i was to ever see you. if i was to have known i would have made more of an effort that night to show you how much i cared.

i went to your memorial. i was shocked by the amount of people, more than three hundred. everyone was in black and purple. you would have been proud. everyone was crying and laughing when they showed a slideshow of baby pictures. i remember laughing at one of you with a blond mullet.

they played the electric slide.

everyone cried through their laughs.

corey you will forever be in our hearts and minds, thank god you are no longer in pain.

Hey Corey,

Hey man im gonna miss you bro. I remember the first time i met you. It was my freshmen year and I wasnt very cool and didnt know alot of people and then I met you and you were just a completly nice guy.

Ill never forget you Purple's R.I.P Corey Patrick Purple Mason

We'll meet agian soon. I love you man.

Corey:

I am so glad that I got to talk to you for the brief times that I saw you. It gave me the opportunity to see what a dimensional person you were and what a kind heart you had. I am sad that I did not take the opportunity to know you even better when you were alive, but I have been reading your myspace account and your friends have really enlightened me. You were a great friend to all of them and a wonderful person, as I knew you had to be.

I will be thinking of you each time I see my favorite color, purple, and every time I think of the band, HIM. I know that heaven has a new angel and that, even though we are missing your body on earth, you are always here in spirit. You and GG are probably up there, laughing and watching Raymond...

Christy

Kelly and Mitch:

I am so sorry for your loss and admire you both for reaching out to Corey's friends and staying strong, even in the face of this horrible tragedy.

You two were really blessed to have given birth to such a wonderful person. You are right to think that Corey was an angel on Earth. I didn't know that he touched so many lives until I read the outpouring of messages on myspace and in this guest book.

It makes sense (and it has to because why else was he taken from you so soon?) that he was an angel here on Earth. Perhaps his mission was to help as many people possible, and that is why he was able to save 3 lives, even in death.

My heart goes out to you, but I know that Corey is with you and everyone in your family, just not in the flesh.

Take care,

Christy

I saw you a few times at school and at concerts, i never talked to you but you seemed like a wonderful person. From all the people that have posted things on myspace, i know you touched a lot of peoples lives - even mine. Just seeing your smiling with your friends was enough. Rest in peace.

Corey,

Never Forgotten and Always loved

Corey and my son, Justin Rodenbaugh, were long time friends. Corey was one of the nicest people a mom could have wanted as a friend to her child. He touched both of our lives. Kelly and Mitch, I'm so sorry you had such a short time on Earth with your son. Because he was so special, he will be guaranteed a special spot in Heaven.

Corey may not have been one of my best friends but he was still one of the greatest friends I have ever known. He could always make me laugh no matter what. His kind nature was why he was loved by so many people. All of us have lost a friend, but we've gained an angel to look after us. I'll never forget Corey, he'll live on in my heart! I never got to hang out with him as much as I would have liked to, but I will treasure the time I spent in his company!

Corey,

You always brought a smile to my face, even when you suddenly appeared in the doorway of my classroom in your colorful disguises. We were always honest with each other and I admired that about you. There have only been a few students that kept coming back year after year to see me like you did. Maybe you were only coming back to see if I was still wearing my purple. I will always remember how proud of you both your parents were. You were special even in the second and third grade. I will always hold onto the image of that cute, toothless, little blond boy, who had so much joy and love for life. You will live on in our hearts and we know you still have work to do from afar.

Mitch,

I was honored that you thought enough to come tell me of Corey's passing in person. My thoughts and prayers to Kelly and all the family.

Take Care and God Bless

I never met Corey, but because of him I now have a friend for life in his wonderful mom, Kelly. I feel comforted by the fact that Corey has befriended my beautiful neice Kristina, and that they are together, our angels, looking out for us. Corey has touched so many lives in such a positive way, I know he was an awesome person in life, and will contiune to be forever. Rest in peace Corey.

Corey, My family and I are all so sad that you have left this life. I know that you had a place and a purpose to fulfill with us here on earth. You successfully completed the plan God had in store for you and I know that you have ascended to a much better place, awaiting the rest of us to arrive. I know in my heart that I will have the pleasure to see you again, someday. You will be greatly missed Corey.

Kelly and Mitch, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. There are really no words that I can say to make your pain go away but I want you both to know that I think you were blessed to have Corey, even if it was for too short of a time, you were blessed. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you both.

My deepest sympathy,

Cindy Perez and family

Corey...

I just wanted to thank you for being a part of my life. We pretty much spent this summer together when we all practically lived at Mikes. You probably didnt realize it while you were here but you really did change my life and you changed my perspective on a lot of things. Thank you. Well Corey I will be seeing you tomorrow..but not to say good bye but hello to a new beginning. We will be together again. I promise you that. It's hard finding someone like you as a friend and its def a miracle that I did. I love you so much. You're my angel forever.

Love,

Corey, I will miss your smile and your happiness. Everyone here misses you so much, but I know that you are in a better place smiling down on us. I remember so many wonderful things about you, but the greatest was your gift to always make us laugh and smile. I will never forget you. Kelly, you have always been a true friend to me. I just want you to know that I am always here for you and I love you very much. Mitch, I don't know you very well, but I do know that Corey loved you very much. You should both be very proud to have raised a son who touched so many lives. Corey will always be with us as long as his memory is in our hearts.

Corey, there is so much to say about you. I'm just sooo happy that I had the oppurtunity to meet you, and be as good of friends that we are. As depressed as I am about you being taken away from us all, Im so happy about knowing you, which means alot more. You were the most unique person that I have ever met. I have nothing but love and respect for you. Even with you not physicaly here I know that you are watching out for us all. I'll never forget all of the memories we have together or how good you were to all of us.

Rest in peace Corey, &I mean that

Corey,

I remember this one time katie and I were throwing apple pie at the wall, I dont know why. But I threw it on the ceiling where you were sitting and thought it would be funny if it fell on someone sitting there. It fell on you a second later, and you just laughed. You were always smiling, and I'll never forget it.

Rest in peace Corey, for you will always shine bright.

Corey was a beautiful person, and a wonderful model for my photography. I will never forget how funny he was the night he came over and was viciously attacked by my cat from behind his chair. RIP -Purple......you are missed.

Hey Corey,

Long time no see, huh? I know we drifted apart after I moved from the apartments, but you made a very special chapter early in my life and your memory will live eternally through the minds and hearts of me and countless others. My two fondest memories of us are when you had the Chicken Pox and you so graciously passed them to me via bathwater, and when you would playfully call me names using any number of nouns in front of “head” like, trashcan head or cereal head. That still makes me smile even to this day.

You were a fantastic friend and I pray you're doing well wherever you may be.

Affectionately Yours,

- Ian Bright

Corey was an amazing young man, He always put a smile on my face, along with everyone else's. There's so much i could sit here and say about that boy, He was truly one of a kind. I'm going to miss having soda come out my nose because he made me laugh so hard. I will always hold those memories close to my heart, He is our angel, our corey, our "purple". He will be greatly missed and i am honored to have known him. Kelly and mitch, i have the greatest respect for you, i thank you for bringing Corey into our lives. He was perfect, he was Corey, and now that he is no longer with us on earth he is OUR angel and i can now sleep well at night knowing he is watching over us.

and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

Exodus 31:3

And I myself said: “Wisdom is better than mightiness; yet the wisdom of the needy one is despised, and his words are not listened to.”

The words of the wise ones in quietness are more to be heard than the cry of one ruling among stupid people.

Wisdom is better than implements for fighting, and merely one sinner can destroy much good.

Ecclesiastes 9:17-18

I am giving YOU a new commandment, that YOU love one another; just as I have loved YOU, that YOU also love one another. By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”

John 13:34

Corey was truly filled with God’s spirit, wisdom and love. We had the opportunity to spend time together, just me and Corey, back in the summer of 1994 in Florida. That was a special time because I really got to see who Corey was. He had the gift of God’s wisdom. He was able to reach out to those needing love. We experienced many things together. We saw the beauty of the Creation. We were able to canoe down the Wekiva River near Orlando, and Estero Bay near Ft. Myers Beach to Mound Key. We helped the “Darfins” that were stranded on the beach. They swam along side us in the canoe. We went to the Nascar 400 at Daytona Speedway. We watched the space shuttle Columbia launch from Cape Canaveral, with your new found friend Kenny.

I will always love Corey with all my heart and I know I will see him again at the coming of God’s new Kingdom.

“And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also, he says: “Write, because these words are faithful and true.” And he said to me: “They have come to pass! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free.”

Revelation 21:4-6
