He is survived by his son Matthew (Brenda), his mother Doreen Linklater (Frank), his grandmother Sarah Hayden of Toronto; his sister Leanne Courchene; his brothers Scottie Linklater and Justin Linklater, many aunts, uncles and cousins, too numerous to mention. Corey lived all his life in Fort Alexander, of which, he liked sports, his friends and enjoyed his pride and joy, his son, Matty (fofurres). Corey was a truck driver and gained employment with the Norway House Treatment Program in Winnipeg. Thanks to the many friends and relatives who called, your kindness and gratefulness is much appreciated. Corey is in Peace with the Creator and his journey has begun to the Spirit world. We all love him as a son, brother, nephew, cousin and he was a very good father to his son. No words can take the place of his laughter, his smiles and his sense of humour and the love he showed his mom and his siblings. He will be greatly missed and his heartful ways, cherished.
