Cory Johnson
There are a few friends you remember well from growing up. Friends you can meet after time apart and pick up right were you left off, Cory was one of those guys. When you grow up in a smaller town and start Kindergarten together it is hard not to get to know one another. Cory was one of the few who ever spent the night, we did Awana together, he wasn't just a guy in my class, he was Cory.
You always thought Cory was going to be a military man but in the end he was a hard working roofer. He loved his friends and common among peoples memories is he NEVER spoke ill of anyone, (except those he thought un-American and at that he cut them slack). He loved to laugh and just be himself. He would give you his shirt if you needed it.
Yesterday I was told he tripped in his apartment and hit his head. The funeral is Saturday. It is never easy when friends pass, this will make number 2 in the same amount of years. The emotions are interesting as I remember Cory. He was a good guy.
I will miss you friend.

I'm sorry for your loss, Jason. I know what you are feeling. I had a friend very similar to how you describe Cory. He died in a freak motorcycle accident just a month before we were going to attend Oregon State.
I still miss him.
Wow! You weren't kidding... it seems sometimes people get a string of these. Rob had that in his last year of college with a bunch of relatives (including his father) passing in the same year. Hang in there! Dig deeper into God's heart and you will only grow stronger thru it all.
