It’s 5 days to Christmas and my heart is heavy. I dont know how I have managed to survive these past few months without you. You are such a big part of my soul and my heart and I will forever miss you every single day. You were my best friend and my soul mate. I thought that we still had so much time left but we didn’t and that’s the hardest part for me is that we didn’t say good bye because we didn’t know it was. Every single day I have wanted you back, wished for you to be back, hopes you would come back but it’s all in vain. You’re forever gone for this world and that tears up my heart. I’m grateful for all the memories we shared and made. You was such an amazing boyfriend and I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart and with all of my soul and I can’t wait till we get to see each other again and to continue where we left off for eternity. Cory I love and miss you always and forever more. You was taken way too soon xoxo

It’s been a month today since you left us in this world. I feel sad and alone and I miss you like crazy. Nights are hard without you here. Days are tough as well because I’m so used to you being here. I wish I could turn back time for a little while just to hold you one more time or just to say good bye again. Just to tell you that I love you and that you are missed every day. You was taken from us all way too soon and that’s the hardest part. We should have had so many years to make memories and so much time to do the things we loved to do. I wish you could have taught me how to snowboard and then I would know why you enjoyed doing it so much. There’s just so many things left to do yet together. It’s so heartbreaking. I love you with all of my heart and soul and I always will forever more. Nothing could ever fill this void in my heart for you. It’s a piece that’s gone forever. I miss you so very much. So until we meet again. Rest in peace and keep on shining down on us xoxo

I was with Cory on the day he passed I was actually only gone for a couple of hours and came home to the beginning of my nightmare. Cory was already gone and there was nothing that I could do about it or for him. It was too late. If I would have known I would have spent those hours with Cory and done everything I could possibly do just to make sure that Cory knew how much I loved him. I would have hugged him the whole time and just made sure that we had the best time possible. I wish I was there for him to say good bye and not feel the guilt and pain of not having that time with Cory. We made many memories together for which I will be forever grateful for

Cory was born December 29 1972 to parents Valerie Westgate and Tom Craig. He was number 2 of 3 Rick, Cory and Chad and a sister Kelty. They grew up in Edmonton Alberta and Cory as a child loved fishing, cycling, skateboarding and in his teenage years was a great snowboarder with great potential and drive. But this was not to be. At 17 he and his girlfriend at the time welcomed a baby girl into this world her name is Samantha. She was his world, his heart and his soul. The relationship didn’t last and with time he was not given chance to have a relationship with Samantha and this caused so much trauma in Cory’s life and he started using drugs to self medicate so he didn’t have to face or feel his pain. With many clean times during his life time but not long enough. When Cory was in a good place and working. He was the best man to be around. A good heart and outgoing personality. Cory worked training horses, he worked fixing cars, he had lots of jobs too throughout his life but the one he loved the most was snowboarding and teaching children how to do it. This gave Cory great pleasure and confidence. At the time of Cory’s death he was in a long term relationship with his spouse Louise McIntyre they loved and cared for each other so very much and had so much fun and made lots of great memories in 13  years together. Cory leaves behind his siblings, his daughter, his parents and lots of other family and friends. He was 50 years old when he died. He will be missed and remembered by many. RIP Cory Martin Craig. Keep on shining till we meet again. I love you xoxo

I was completely heartbroken to find out that you was gone. You was my whole world and whole life and im completely lost without you. I still can’t believe that you are gone. I keep waiting for a text message, or a phone call or for you to walk through the front door. It’s hard to believe that you are never coming back, I will never ever see you or talk to you again and spend time with you again. I wish you was still here and I really hope that you are in a better place and that one day I will get to see you and be with you again. I will be waiting for that day xoxo I love and miss you so much xoxo
