He could write alot of words but all you'd have to do is listen to one of his intrumental songs and that would say it all. He had the most amazing ear, he could sit down and figure out a Segovia, kaki king, andrew york, mozart song all in a days work & all by ear-never read music. He was multi talented playing drums, guitar, bass, piano & any other instrument he could get his gifted hands on, he could play anything. He was a gentle soul, compassionate towards anyone and everyone. He loved animals, especially his dog Matty Mo. Hundreds and hundreds of people have been visiting his website and myspace and sending their thoughts and prayers through phone and email-he touched so many lives in his brief 21 years here with us. Aside from being an artist and a kind, loving, genuine person, he was also a jokester, making everyone laugh, so witty, so intelligent and poetic. You can read just a few of his poems on his 2nd myspace: page http://www.myspace.com/cwparrish. He's leaving behind two grieving parents, a sister, a brother in law, a soulmate, a mans best (his doggie), and countless friends whose lives he touched and enriched. His memory will be kept alive by his recordings, finished and unfinished, music he wrote with his sister Krista, his girlfriend Lauren and his dad Dennis, his website and myspace will remain as memorial pages so that people for years to come can have the pleasure of hearing his music forever. The world was a better place with Corey in it & his song & memory will live in our hearts forever.

thank you for the really nice compliment and thanks for sending Corey's music our way, it's great to hear such intricate solo guitar playing. very nice stuff. on behalf of the band, we're sorry to hear the news - it really means a lot to hear that good people are listening to and make connections to the music we make. it's truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing with us & do stay strong!

hey corey I just wanted to let you know how much i miss you. I cant believe how long its been. Hardly a day goes by where i dont think about the things we shared and the things you taught me. especially that involving our love for music. You were the first person I played with that functioned with me synergistically on an intellectual level. We both listened to each other equally, never trying to leave out one's voice or over power. This, at the time, was something completely new to me - as I had normally played with people that would rather benefit themselves, or be "rock stars". You helped bring me back to my roots. I had always grown up listening to my dads bands, he plays bluegrass, and they would always listen to eachother as closely as possible, being humble and filling in the intellectual space equally and with perfect timing. Along with myself, you're in it for the love with the art. i just wanted to say i am forever grateful to you for what you have left with me. There is no deubt in my mind that i would not have had the incredible experiences that i've had, or reached the level of intuitivness either. To you i am forever thankful .
Corey, You always told me that I should make instrumental music. You always told me that my songs were awesome, and that I should not try to find a singer, but rather just leave the songs as they were. You showed me Pelican for the first time, an instrumental band similar to my style. Well, I am doing it. My band is instrumental psychedelic metal. You are one of my biggest influences, musically. I know you listen to us from the heavens. I know you are proud of me. I miss you so much. You are my best friend and my brother, and I think about you every day. I miss jamming with you. I miss laughing with you. I miss getting into trouble with you. I miss riding my bike to Clemens in the middle of the night, to meet up with you on your bike, because we are both insomniacs, and just pedaling around in circles while shooting the shit with each other. I miss you showing up at Dylan's house on your lawnmower tractor. I miss the crazy days at Mark's house. I miss sitting with you on the porch of Starbucks because there was nothing better to do. I miss you brother. I love you, man. You will live on in my heart forever.
i sit here everyday in my room, going through the same ol' troubles... the same ol' shit... different day, different & new problems... but still, every single one of those days, there's not one i miss thinking about you, staring at your pictures on my wall. i hope and pray everytime i think of you, multiple times everyday, wondering if you even knew how much you meant to me. how i truly looked at you as my brother, my mirrored, kindred soul, my best friend i've ever had. i love you corey, and i wish every single day to hear your voice again, to see you laugh again, to hang out and fuck around like we always did... like brothers. to jam together, and feel that magically intense connection, and visions of our future together... i wish you never left corey, i love you so much! please, find me in my dreams? my heart sinks without you. i love you corey, and take care in the deep beyond... love, your best friend, and your brother in music, and in heart...
