Corey Feldman Says Last Goodbye To Friend Corey Haim
While friends and family gathered to bury Corey Haim in Toronto today, longtime friend and frequent co-star Corey Feldman was noticeably absent from the service.
He chose to instead publish this letter to his deceased friend:
Dear Corey.,
This is for you on the day of your funeral. First off I am so sorry I am not there with you today. By that I mean my physical body is not with your physical body. However you know that my heart is right at your side. You also know the only reason I am truly not there is out of respect for your mother and her wishes to minimize the media attention as much as possible. I want your family to have a calm peaceful day. Hopefully we will not see one shot of the funeral on the news. Just know I am at home today projecting positive energy for you and your passing.
I miss you so much already. When I think of something funny I don’t know who to tell it to. I find myself trying to call you but then remember your not there. I think about the new movies we will soon be doing together and then suddenly realise that the dream is over. I always feared this day would come, and often rehearsed how to face it. But once confronted with the reality of it, it’s so much more painful than I could have ever imagined. Nobody will ever understand the brotherhood we shared. Nobody will ever get the inside jokes we told. Nobody will understand the magic of 22/222 . Nobody will ever know how to do the secret Corey handshake. Nobody will ever make me laugh as hard as you did. Nobody will ever make me fight as hard as you did. Nobody will ever challenge me the way you did. Nobody will ever need me the way you did.
My mission in life became saving yours. I never gave up, I tried …I walked away, but I always came back, to let you know I was there. In a dark and lonely world with spiteful angry people we always understood each others pain. I have been so hounded by the media and barraged with condolences since your death that I have not been given my own time to grief. I was still in shock while cameras were chasing me down the street looking for my feelings on the matter. When I did Larry King I could barely form sentences, but knew I had to be strong to send a message.
I never knew your death would have such a huge impact on the world. I learned something Corey, there are a lot of people out there who really love you, and appreciate the joy you have brough tho their hearts. I only wish you could see the way the world is mourning over your absence. I wish you could see how big the story is. I wish you could see your face finally filling the cover of People magazine and Entertainment Weekly! That would have meant so much to you. It is such a shame they all had to wait until you were gone to give you the respect you were due as an actor which is what you truly were. The great Canadian actor Corey Haim! I love you and I will forever keep that ring close to my heart. I will do my very best to help give you a memorial that is a celebration of your life the way you would have wanted it…..with everybody laughing and rocking out!
My heart is so broken and I know there are so many who feel the same way I do. We will remember your spirit and your fans will help me keep your legacy alive.
I pray that you are safe and warm and finally filled with peace.
I love you
CF Core Feldog DAWG C-DOG KID and every other name you used to call me…..dine!
So sad.
We sincerely hope Feldman has the proper time and privacy to deal with his grief.
R.I.P. Corey.

Johnny Gets Feisty In Venice!
Amy Back To Her Old Ways?
ummmmmm why would he put that over the internet?
cuz he wants some publicity.
R.I.P.
i love both you guys.
I love them both so much! This letter was beautiful. May Corey Haim finally find peace.
I sure hope Feldman paid him for that last blowjob he gave him so he could get some more shit.
I understand that entirely - my darling, perfect Brother Eric passed in a car accident - I go to an email site where I can "write" messages to him and "send" them - or give him a gift - or place a candle or flowers.
-
-
It may sound idiotic, but it helps. The sorrow is always there - but going to that site - sending my brother Eric a message - it help.
-
Something about typing it out, reading it, sending -and yes, crying as I write - HELPS.
very touching! very well said!
yawn….
he needs to go back to second grade, his spelling and grammar is terrible.
Gee, how thoughtful of him to release his private letter to his friend….to the press. What a douche.
Re: Lulu-2 – I totally agree with you. Sorry for your loss. I also lost a loved one recently, but there is no way I would write a letter like this to a "brother" and then skip the funeral.
I don't think Corey Haim will be able to read this.
Corey Feldman never gave up on Corey Haim.The two Coreys were soul brothers and they loved each other very much.It is really sad that death has separated them.But friendship never dies so the two Coreys will be friends forever.
It is just me, or was that a wee bit self-serving. There were there a LOT of "I"s in that… my mission in life became saving yours… I never gave up, I tried …I walked away… I always came back, to let you know I was there… I have been so hounded by the media and barraged with condolences since your death that I have not been given my own time to grief. I was still in shock while cameras were chasing me down…
Re: zoewiggles – *his spelling and grammar ARE terrible.
Re: Heidi looks like Kojo from E.T. – I read in the paper that he was asked by his family not to attend the funeral as it would bring even more media attention. I don't believe it was by choice - anyone could see how much those two cared about each other.
Re: Big Black Dick –
EVERY TIME HER ASS WOULD GET BANGED PENNIES WOULD FALL LIKE A SLOT MACHINE SPITTING OUT A CASH PRIZE!!!!
so sad, Corey Haim's story and how it played out.
Ugh that made me almost cry. Very sad.
Corey Feldman is the BEST FRIEND I would like to have. He really cared about Corey Haim so much thru the good and bad times. Watching the two Coreys, I could tell he really cared so much about him. The episode in which he had to break it to Haim that he turned down a movie part because Haim did not get an offer really broke my heart.
Corey, I really wished you were at the funeral, cause Haim would have loved you to be there, but like you said, you and his mom know what is best.
He didn't release it to the press. He put in on his website, and if you look at his website, he has been paying tribute to his best friend. It's sad that a lot of people do not know how much this guy cared for Haim. He is not looking for publicity. This is his brother. Haim could not do without him and he could not do without Haim. I wish people watch the Two Coreys. I mean, even Feldman's wife could not come in between them.
Re: chaot1c – If that was the case, then I don't know what to think about Haim's family. There was going to be media there, regardless of Feldman being there or not. I don't think Feldman is so "famous" that would bring chaos there.
I was very touched by that letter. Corey poured his heart out.
Anyone who thinks he wrote this for publicity are just assholes!
This was his best friend. Give the guy a break!
Re: Big Black Dick – You are a total ASSHOLE and Karma will come back and fuck you up! Go away you slimeball!
Keyword here is PRIVACY! Give him some, jerk!
I don't understand why people have to rip Feldman…he posted it on his web site. Tons of people post things on Caringbridge.com and other sites about their loved ones. Why should he be criticized…because he's famous? He lost his best friend…a friend who he rightfully deserted at times (you can't save an addict if he doesn't want to save himself), but as he wrote here, always returned to. CF - if you read this site, sorry for your loss. I loved CH, always hoped he would have a comeback.
Re: um939 – It was on his blog….something usually only his fans read. If he hadn't gone to the memorial or posted a blog post then people would've said he was a bad friend. Corey Feldman was the only one who never stopped giving a damn. Corey was AlWAYS there when Corey Haim needed him. I've loved this guys and stood up for them for a LONG time and I will not stop.
Re: Mickey9661 – My dogma took a shit on your Karma!
Re: ||Jenna|| –
#12 Madonna wrote it for him
#13 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Too bad “` The Corey's “` are now “` over & out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To the haters :::::::::: Corey F. is NOT looking for another 15 minutes. He's defending his BFF, in his death,,,, from all the negative publicity. Nothing more!!
I tried to look on Feldman's website the day Haim died and it said it was out of commission. I hope Feldman gets some professional help in dealing with this as a divorce and a death are two very difficult events.
Re: Heidi looks like Kojo from E.T. – I'm sorry for your loss, too.
True - I can't fathom not being at the funeral - though I can only say I was in shock.
what a beautiful letter, and I 100%agree that its so sad that Corey Haim had to pass away for people to remember what a talent he was:( While watching "The 2 Coreys" I could see how sad and forgotton Corey Haim felt, I just wanted to reach into my tv adn hug him and tell him he is great….my stomache is still in knots over his passing, my inner 12 year old is crushed adn my 30 year old self is just so sad.
something is very weird about this. corey haim was his own person, yes i know we all thought, corey feldman, the two coreys, but do we need to know what corey feldmans heartfelt sentiments are? why is this letter out here? why does he say, he "rehearsed" this before. does he live in reality? why is he bringing up the larry king interview? i dont know, something feels weird about that letter…but whatever you know, they were BFFS
After the last episode of The Two Corey's, I never thought they would speak again! However, I'm sure that Corey Feldman realized that friendships that run deep can unfortunately at times run deeper than marriages. I'm assuming they reconnected after his divorce? Either way, I am very glad they did and very upset that it worked out this way
wow that seemed really heart felt and sinscere,those two always seemed like they really clicked together on screen and off !
wow that made me cry a little..so sad he lost his best friend. when he said about hearing somethin funny and not having anyone to tell it to. makes me think of if i lost my best friend id be destroyed…i hope he finds comfort in knowing his friend is now at peace.
Wow. That was a heartfelt, sincere and honest letter to his friend. Heartbreaking! I hope that the media respect his wishes, but I doubt it.
Yes. A huge impact on the world. Anyway, what's the weather looking like for tomorrow….?
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LETTER!! THE END MADE ME CRY…SERIOUSLY(LOVE THEM).
YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS AS A MESSAGE TOO PEREZ HILTON-THAT MAYBE YOU SHOULD GIVE CELEBS A BREAK SOMETIMES?! I DON'T THINK YOU REALIZE THE AFFECT YOUR HARSH WORDS CAN HAVE ON PEOPLE IN THE LIMELIGHT WHO MIGHT BE STRUGGLING. WITH YOUR INFLUENCE, YOU SHOULD MAKE SITUATIONS BETTER NOT WORSE. THINK ABOUT IT?! GOOD THING MISCHA & LINDSAY HAVEN'T DIED YET! AND QUIT CALLING PPL BLOATED-HAVE U LOOKED IN THE MIRROR/TV @YOURSELF??! U DON'T EVEN PMS!!!!?
Re: Big Black Dick – You are full of bitterness. Is it jealousy?. Is it the anger of failure in your own life? Where does all this hate come from? That you should go to such lenghts to spew so much poison? Get some help PRONTO! You are a sociopath to say the least.
RIP Corey H and to Corey F. sincere condolences.
Much love to both Corey's but yes why is this private letter public?
Not sure. Either way R.I.P Haim you are loved !
WOW, so Corey's mom didn't want Corey Feldman there, hmmmmm I wonder why? THAT IS SO SAD HE COULDN'T GO SAY GOODBYE TO HIS FRIEND! I STARTED CRYING TOWARDS THE END , WHEN HE STARTED SAYING, "JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVED HIM" !
POOR COREY'S! I HOPE Feldman can find comfort and Haim finds peace. So sad! 
Just let him say what he wants to say and then leave them both in peace. Have some respect.
Re: Heidi looks like Kojo from E.T. – Me either , I really don't understand , was he not allowed to go? Or did he just ASSUME SHE WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO GO??> Ugh, confusing!
Re: Heidi looks like Kojo from E.T. – I think he skipped the funeral b/c he didn't want to make a circus out of it for his mother. When he said that he would be home sending energy, well, people who don't know what that means will absolutely never understand the power of it. Plus, this is obviously a religous practive for him - something else no one will under stand, except those who practice it. I'm so sorry for your pain. I hope we will all understand "this" someday.
Let's see…. they supposedly ask him to stay away from the funeral to minimize media attention so he writes a letter on the internet which will bring just as much media attention as if he showed up? He's such a self-absorbed jerk he spends most of the time talking about himself - I don't doubt they were good friends, even best friends, but Corey has such a grandiose delusional over-inflated sense of self-importance, it precludes him from having any class and mourning a friend in the proper way.
Awww, a really great letter. So nice that he allowed it to be shared with corey's fans, I'm sure it's probably 10x harder to grieve in public. I miss you Corey, and will always love you.
Okay. Let's let the RIP at the end of Perez's post be the final statement on this guy. Yes it's sad but it is also not surprising. Time to learn and move forward and let's all stop with the mawkish tributes to someone who at some time had a modicum of fame and spent the next 20 years living off it and trying to re-capture it and died. Finito.
Re: Big Black Dick – fuckin' pig
I don't care what anyone here says, his comments were very heartfelt.
Re: Big Black Dick – Sounds like someone is sick.
Corey Feldman:
Corie Haims' fans didn't abandon him, we were patiently waiting, respecting the process of him getting himself better, no matter how long it took, all the while, praying/sending positive vibes he would be successful in healing, waiting to embrace him, and ready to celebrate his return. His fans painfully watched him self destruct in The Two Corey's, because we were desperate to have even the most damaged parts of him. We did not abandon him.
I bet the movie deal is in the works.
well not sure the world is mouring but they were and have obviously been friends for numerous years, I think it is sad the Mom won't let him go. My assumptions is he made the letter public so he wouldn't have to take the heat for not attending the funereal. But media circus or not she should have let him go seems to me Feldman was far more of a responsoble influence in his life that "stage mom" ever was !!
He put that over the internet to show his respect and love for his best friend! I actually cried when I found out about this whole tragedy! I had THE biggest crush on him when I seen him in Lost Boys!
