Corey Owen Renneberg
March 22, 1987 – August 23, 2018

It is with great sadness that the family of Corey Renneberg announce his passing on Thursday, August 23, 2018. He was 31 years of age. Corey Owen Renneberg was born on March 22, 1987 at Humboldt, SK to Anita
and Richard Renneberg of St. Benedict, a baby brother for Daryl. His early childhood years were spent in his treehouse in St. Benedict with the “Ratpack” – Daryl and 7 of the neighborhood kids. He started school in St. Benedict taking K- 2. Then in 1996, after the school closure, his family moved to Muenster where he completed grades 3 to 12. Many hours were spent on the go-cart, dumb and dumber bike, or on snowmobiles. He was very athletic but running seemed to be his thing. At age 16, Corey started working after school and weekends, at the C-store in Humboldt. After graduating, he decided to work before going back to school for Engineering, so he started welding at Doepkers. When Anita started her business, Basement Systems Saskatchewan, in 2006; Corey was the foundation rock. He did all the installing, jackhammering and heavy labour resulting in a Better Business Bureau award. Corey moved to Saskatoon, working at Rona and UPS; then to Montreal on a Rona Immersion Exchange, and back to Saskatoon where he worked at Extreme Mining. In November, he moved to Kelowna BC to take a construction job. Corey WAS extreme fitness- biking, running, kayaking, scuba diving, camping, fishing, snowboarding and a permanent gym rat. He was physically fit in the extreme. Corey was a very kindhearted person and would give you help in any way he could, going out of his way to help. At age 23, Corey began to struggle with mental health issues and began that roller coaster of being so good for weeks only to crash, unable to cope. This started financial problems as he was unable to work through the bad times. His many attempts at getting help in an insufficient healthcare system lasted only temporarily. He tried extreme fitness, drugs and alcohol which only served the purpose temporarily; and led to being more and more dependent to cope. Corey is now at peace, flying free. One of the many inspirational notes lying on his table said, “Keep on rocking in the free world.” Corey will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Richard and Anita (nee Leuschen) Renneberg of Muenster, SK; brother Daryl R. Renneberg (Rosa) of Calgary, AB; grandmother Mathilda Renneberg of Middle Lake, SK; maternal aunts and uncles, Joann (Frank) Roettger, Dave (Elaine Palchinski) Leuschen, Ruth White, Les (Cheryl) Leuschen, Julie Leuschen, Perry (Janine) Leuschen, Norma (Frazer) Edmunds, Jeff (Sandi Urban) Leuschen, Gord (Anita) Leuschen; paternal aunts and uncles, Jerome Renneberg, Leroy (Bev) Renneberg, Cheryl (Lyle) Lepsenyi, Yvonne (Kelly) Rustad, Marvin (Maureen) Renneberg; and numerous cousins. Corey was predeceased by his grandparents Martin and Loretta Leuschen, and Henry Renneberg; uncles Adrian Leuschen, Joe Leuschen; aunts, Linda Leuschen, Lucille Renneberg, Donna Leuschen and Liz Leuschen.
