Thursday I found out someone I knew died. Or more specifically killed himself.
I didn’t know him well I talked to him once joked around many more times. He was always joking always laughing and smiling, I don’t think I ever saw him unhappy.
I know you never know someone, but I just wasn’t expecting it from him. I just wasn’t.
He was in choir, not mine specifically but he was in it, and I met him at region actually.
He was in my choir family, and even though I’ve only been there a year, it really feels like a family and I feel everyone’s pain.
He was a great kid and only a sophomore.
I sat in 3rd period yesterday bawling with the rest of my family. The counselor came to talk to us and everyone just broke down. We sang a song in his honor and we prayed for him and we sat in silence.
It was a very intense unhappy day all in all.
He was a great guy. I really wished I got to know him better. Now, I’m going to get to know everyone I know.
It’s just very sad that a friend, a brother, a singer has decided this life wasn’t his to live.
Rest in Peace Cory Weisinger, we all miss you and we all hope you are finding heaven to be better than you found this life.
Hello, I am Cory's stepfather. I am happy to hear this tragedy has at least brought some insight as to the importance of getting to know those around you and letting them know you care. I would like to think there is something that could have redirected Cory but noone was aware of his intentions. Cory was the last person I would have that would leave here by his choosing. He was the best person I have known, miss him terribly. Keep doing what you said you would and many will be blessed. Thank you for caring enough to say this publicly. Sheldon Mansfield
