The standing room only gathering yesterday in Meadow Lake in honor, remembrance and celebration of Cory was a demonstration of many things. The standing room only crowd made up of friends and family from the local community representing 4H, rodeo, hockey, hunters, cattlemen, farmers, neighbors, teens and seniors attested to Cory's nature as a people person. A person who loved to joke and tease and socialize.... with anybody and everybody. The 4H honor guard yesterday attests to Cory's generous nature and his willingness to volunteer his time, interest and enthusiasm to causes he felt close to his heart. Cory would have and should have been proud of the depth of emotion, compassion and love for him and his family that the community displayed yesterday. The ceremony, individual speakers and performers were very sincere, personal and touching in the words ,stories, and music they shared. Cory lived his life in a way that obviously made a difference in the lives of those he touched. An authentic one of a kind, we should all be so fortunate.

Thank you to everyone who made yesterday possible.

Shauna, Megan, Ty, Sarah and Emily my deepest condolences.

A sunrise of many shades, clouded yet bright, a prelude to the emotional lows and highs of the day that unfolded.

final road
tears and laughs flowed freely
crushing blow of a final good bye
grieving, cherishing, squeezing
memories that can't be taken
enthusiasm
wit
side splitting laughter
one of the fortunate
who knew
a loving family
a good horse
the content cow
a loyal dog
love of nature
thrill of the hunt
exhilaration of an 8 second ride
a game winning goal
shared with friends
and loved ones
alike
a more proud father
unlikely
a more missed uncle
doubtful
a gaping hole
surely
an over flowing day
definitely
a day and person
not to be forgotten
guaranteed!!

so long friend

On the lighter side I remember him posting some pics over on Ranchers. I think it was him and one of the kids or something like that. He never noticed it til Katrina pointed it out but in the background were two horses breeding. :lol2: He laughed an apologized for posting and "X" rated pic.
 
Dylan, that is one of the best posts I have ever seen here. Like Hook I bow my head for a moment of silence.
 
Cory sure sounds like a good man who truly enjoyed life. It sounds like he left a big impression on everyone who knew him and sounds like he lived a great life. I'm very sorry for his family and friends loss.
 
Thanks Dylan. I was wondering how it went yesterday. Sorry I couldn't make it.
Beautiful tribute to a wonderful man who was always smiling and willing to chat with you. :cry2: :cry2:

I hoped to capture a glimpse of Northern Rancher's funeral for those unable to attend, good to know it had meaning. :hat:

Thank you Dylan.
 
nice job Dylan, great tribute.

on an unrelated subject can I hire you to write my obit?
 
On a lighter side I know of only one thing that could get NR going. That is trying to get him to take an EXT cow.

He will be missed.
