Reflections.

"It makes me happy to envision that he is doing something he loves. I have dreams in my head of what he is seeing." - his sister thinking about him.
"Those are my happiest memories because Corey would let me go back there with him.
It was pretty muddy and wet, but that made it even more fun." - his sister recalling memories of vacations and outdoor activities with her brother.
"He'd push his white cap back on his head, and smile. He had the perfect smile.
He'd say, "Hi,how you're doing today? " - Jenny Davis recalling memories of Corey
"It was the times we didn't do well that his personality really shined." -Best friend.
"When you're going fishing or camping,I know he's going to be there, watching and making sure you're doing everything right." - Austin. His best friend.
"full of self-confidence but not conceited "
- parents
"very bright and easy to get along with" - Michael Vendegnia,friend
" Everybody knew him,everybody liked him. Corey was one of the best friends you'll ever have" - Rusty Schyler,friend.
"He would be home alone on weekends with his parents gone, and there were never any parties. He's a good kid, a wonderful kid." - unidentified neighbour.
"He put his schoolwork above all else.
But he had numerous outside interests, including in-line skating, golf and wrestling. He quit the wrestling team after his sophomore year to focus on his academics." - Bill Greaber, friend
" He was the friendliest one " - Bill Greaber recalling Corey as the first person to befriend him when he arrived from Arizona two years prior to the shooting.
