    So sorry to hear about Corbin. I worked as school secretary at East Heights where he and Cassie went to grade school. I remember them as beautiful children. My neighbor is Brian Keeton and he shared the sad new with me earlier this week. Again, so sorry for your loss.

    Corbin was one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met. He radiated constant positivity and love and it was impossible not to smile when you were around him. Thoughts and love to his family right now, I’m so sorry for your loss.

    I remember Corbin as a student at New York Elementary. He was a happy boy and full of fun. So sorry for your loss.

    Just watched that beautiful video. Corbin loved nature so much and I remember the last time we actually got to hangout we went on a walk in the woods together. He was a beautiful person and made a huge impact on my life. I miss him so much. And cant wait to walk in nature with him again someday. I love u Corbin. I remember the first day of 7th grade and the teacher called out Thomas and u were sitting right behind me and we both had to correct the teacher on what to call us. I’ll never forget u. Promise.

    I regret that I learned of Corbin’s death too late to attend the memorial service. What a wonderful video tribute to Corbin! I was fond of him. My heart aches to know he passed away. Gone but not forgotten. RIP Corbin.
