I know I shared this on Facebook but my favorite memories are when we did the play Our Town. We play Emily and George and had so much fun doing it. I will always remember how much we laughed and made fun of each other. But how serious we were when it was show time. I will remember riding in his Cougar, jumping on the trampoline and other things teenagers do. Sneaking out to just hang out (sorry Mrs. Corn). Parties and more. He will always be in my heart. I am sad he is gone, too young.

Many years ago I took some pictures at a Texas Tech vs TCU game (early 90s). Gay and Jerry along with Sam (my father) and Eustolia Torrez and my family watched a CRAZY final three minutes of that game. Most of the scoring happened near the end of the game and Roger’s team scored last and beat my Horned Frogs. It was a great night that I will always remember

I had the great pleasure of meeting Roger in 1999... when we first became coworkers- he was also my son’s science teacher-
I later became his secretary and was for 6 years before he hired me at CLC... I have always had great respect for him, even when he reminded me of my bratty little brother hiding my favorite pen (he said I stole it from him- he was right) or showing video he saved of me tripping.... over my skirt... He even had popcorn ready. He mentored our students and they all knew he cared about them- they couldn’t have had a better influence in their lives.

My heart is SO sad today, Mr. Corn thank you for always putting up with my high school nonsense with a sense of humor and patience when when we were at North Crowley, I KNOW I probably drove you crazy but you were my favorite AP. Sending all the love to you, your family, and your friends♥️

Rest easy, Roger Corn. One of the best administrators to ever do it. I know people always say it about others, but he was truly a GREAT GUY! I’ll never forget walking into my first NoCro meeting and finding out that I was the new administrator over textbooks. For that first year, some kids would still go to you because you did textbooks for so long. Oh, how can I forget the time Ms. Yoshi dropped off her resume with you and you sent her to me, just another of your many pranks 😂😂😂 . No I can’t forget the time the angry parent was mad at me and threatened to sue me and the school if her son ever got hurt while he skipped school. I sent her to you and you told her the exact same thing I told her, but you were so cool that she was fine.

Man, I really enjoyed those 2 years we worked together. We had an amazing boss and great co-workers. We are so sad to see that you are no longer with us physically, but you are in all of our hearts.

One love, brother! ❤️👍🏿😥

Today at work, we got the news on Mr. Roger Corn passing. I was 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 over the winter break. Hoping he would pull through. I had the privilege to work with him on Textbooks, Club Accounts & Parking. He was one of the good ones. He would always have your back. He will definitely be missed. Heaven is going to have a NoCro section. I’ve been at North Crowley for over 15 years. In that time we have lost Kenneth Kershaw & Candise Glover & now Mr. Corn. Please keep his family in your prayers.🙏🏼🙏🏼

Roger was always a awesome friend. Loved that we played football together , he was always a leader.  He also was a great teacher even when we were in high school. Had it not been for him helping me I would have never passed French 2 our junior year.  I remember he saying “ Hogg your just to country to talk french, but we will make it work”.  Lots of laughs on my expense but I actually wound up making good a really good grade.  Thanks buddy, and thanks again.

One of the kindest and most sincere people you'll ever meet!!! I had just finished my Texas Teachers Program and I'm looking for jobs weeks before school starts (so I'm pretty stressedI..at this point I know the last hire these schools want is someone with an alternative certification. Through lots of prayer, God gifted me with 3 interviews and God graced me with all 3 offers. I didn't know what I'd choose at this point. Mrs. Neal, Mr. Corn's AP, told me that I had all the makings of a wonderful teacher, but that she said that the only thing that might not get me the job would be my experience, but she said to contact her if I'd need any recommendations.  It was literally that afternoon that Mr. Corn called me and said something like, "well Mr. George, I want to get straight to the point, we want you..." I asked him if it was okay to pray about it and talk with my wife. He said, "let me know, but definitely talk to the boss and pray about it, but get back with me because we want you." Oh man, was I just happy. I received about 4 more calls over the next few days from Mr. Corn and I just felt that it was God calling me over to CLC and I know in my heart that it was. Mr. Corn was exactly who I needed to start my career in teaching with. He was always positive, caring, and could see things that others could not. He cared about the kids, yes, but he also deeply cared about his teachers, and it was felt. Mr Corn wasn't with us last year do to his illness, but I did receive Teacher of the Year, and I credit so much of that award to Mr. Corn and his love and gift that he chose to take me on at a school that thrives on experience. God is good and Mr. Corn will always be a part of my life and through my teachings. Thank you Mr. Corn!!!

When I think of Mr. Corn, this is the quote that comes to mind. There are only a special few that leave you feeling better than when they arrived. I will miss having him for that quick pick me up he always gave. It was nice in service today to be reminded of all the little things he would do like when he would say "It'll be alright" in that dismissive relaxed tone, which instantly made realize you were overreacting to something that didn't matter. Or the story of the catcher which he told me last year on a visit to CLC. I had begun to forget those little things. But I will never forgot how he made me feel. Mr. Corn truly was a catcher and caught me more times than I can recall. I can only pray and hope that one day I will be that for others.-Cristina Snoke

I was just talking to my oldest daughter who was a student at NCHS. She said that he was the most ‘chill’ person and she had SO much respect for him. Thank you sir for your investment in so many young lives. Although I never met you, I’m honored that you touched my child’s life.

I remember when Roger came down to Lake Jackson to visit us.Me and my sister always have many sports on the weekend but we got lucky and that week somehow all our sports were cancelled.So we got to spend all weekend with him.

"Corn Baby Boo" was the nickname my journalism students called Roger because they had a crush on him. Anytime I needed something delivered to his office, there were a ton of volunteers! I shared this with Roger years later, and he laughed and said he knew he was "getting old" when the students stopped asking if he was married, rather they asked him if he had any sons! Roger was a class act and a great mentor. "D" will miss him terribly.

I remember that we were camping. All the parents were sitting around the camper and I was playing football by myself in the street. Uncle Roger came over and joined me and we started passing the ball. It was fun to be able to play with someone who played in college. In a little while, more people joined us and we were able to start a small football game.

Mr. Corn interviewed me one on one per the request of my best friend and called to hire me that same afternoon.  To say I was a high maintenance baby teacher would be an understatement, but his door was literally always open and any time I popped in I got that Roger smile and a welcome to sit and talk away the issue of the day.  We all make plenty of mistakes when we first start out and I made my fair share. He never made me feel bad, but reminded me that there is always a path forward, no matter the mistake. He encouraged me every year at my annual review saying “I think your an amazing teacher.  What do you need from me to help you?”  I had no idea how spoiled I was by him until I left NoCrow and found that “open door policy” is not a literal thing everywhere. He threw lots of challenges at me over the 5 years I was there, but when I asked for help, he always gave it, with that same grin that reminded me that all problems have solutions. I have thought of him often since I left NoCrow and wished many times that they (principals) could all be like him.

About ten years ago I was fresh out of college and had just finished my alternative certification. I applied for several teaching jobs but when I found the science teacher/swim coach position at NCHS I knew it was the job I wanted more than anything. I interviewed with Mr. Smith, Coach Brakel and Mr. Corn and I was so nervous, terrified actually but he was the one who smiled and made me feel just comfortable enough that I could answer their questions. I couldn’t believe it when I was offered the job. Over the next two years at NCHS Mr. Corn was always there whenever I was frustrated or needed help, and he gave some of the best advice for dealing with students. As an AP he always supported his teachers and made them feel important. When I left NCHS he wrote me a glowing recommendation letter. I will always be grateful for the chance they took on me because they gave me my first opportunity in the classroom. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the guidance, support and encouragement of Mr. Corn. I am so grateful for him and I know he will be missed by many. Thank you for believing in me!

I worked with Mr. Corn at NoCro. He hired me in the middle of our interview. He put me in the library so I could build relationships with kids, and then he supported me while I did that.
Roger didn’t have an ego, he was open to ideas, and entrusted his staff to get their job done. He backed us up and gave honest answers. He was hilarious always.
We worked with some great kids together, and he always had a calm perspective that brought wisdom to the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Roger’s door was always open to anyone at NoCro. He  was always willing to talk about what was going on in the building and the classroom and made those concerns and celebrations his priority. Roger always listened. His actions are something to emulate. His impacts on people will he felt for many years!

# data[].attributes.body
I remember Corn pulling the administrators into the office. He then pointed to the cameras. We all watched as our AP Secretary fell UP THE STAIRS! Who falls up stairs? Ha. That was a hilarious moment and we all shared a good laugh. He was great at making us all feel welcome every day.

Roger talked me into scuba diving. One of my favorite experiences with him.

# data[].attributes.body
Though I went to high school with Roger, I didn’t really get to know him until he coached and taught at CHS9 and I taught at CHS. He brought the football highlights to me each week, and we jammed to 80s music while I added it to the video. The highlights were shown each week to the student body. Our paths crossed again when he was associate principal at NCHS at the time I was hired there. In fact he was probably a big reason I was hired as I interviewed in the summer during the time most administrators were on vacation. The AP who interviewed me called him (on his vacation) to ask if he knew me and thought I would do well. During the NCHS years, he encouraged me when I felt defeated, consoled me when I was upset, and laughed with me too many times to count. I know anyone who ever worked with him could and would say the same. I went to my classroom and bawled the day we were told he was leaving CHS for CLC, and I know plenty of my colleagues did as well. I didn’t see or talk to him much after his time at NCHS, but the times I did, he still encouraged, consoled and laughed. The world has lost a good man.

We love the entire Corn Family and love when we get to see any of them, as it is like a family reunion (just as it is with any of our youth group members). Our memories are inclusive of them as a whole, Roger, Brenda, Steve, Gay, and Jerry (also known lovingly as PopCorn). We have fond memories of spending time together. Todd remembers that one time when he beat Roger at basketball. (That ONE time, HAHA!) Ski Trips. Youth Camps, Hanging out at the Corn’s: swimming, basketball, fireworks, eating, fun. A few years ago running into him at football playoffs. We both remember him as friend, but also family. When Robin saw him in June and we both saw him in January it was like we never missed a day.

I was too scared to jump off the rocks, so I talked Roger into going first. That's what big brothers do, right?!?! Without hesitation, Roger showed me how to do it while I stood on top watching.

Roger was always a calm, cool and collected AP at North Crowley. After an AP left North Crowley that was in charge of state testing, I had to work closely with Roger to get things ready. I had to “train” him in ALL things testing and it got to be a joke every time I would tell him something else that we had to do, he would say, “that’s stupid.”  I would say, I know but we have to do it. When we were getting it packed up, we were searching for 1 missing answer document. I thought Roger was going to rub his forehead off!!  We finally found it and all was good again. After that, Roger had a new respect for anyone in charge of state testing!

We were talking tattoos and he started laughing, giggling really. I asked him what was funny and he told me had a tattoo. He then turned around and walked off saying “I can still see you” as he was laughing. 👀 He was always so calm and funny. Great guy ❤️

We were at Camp Meridian and Mrs. Corn went on Sunday to help get things set up. She left on Monday and was asked why she didn’t stay. Her response was, “if I stay Roger won’t be himself.” Sure enough, after she left Roger turned into this social butterfly, jumping around, laughing, joking. He was really funny and had this crazy wonderful smile. When I think of Roger that smile comes to mind first. Though he was more of a familiar acquaintance than a buddy, I’m glad to have been around him.

Before “Dad Jokes” were a thing, there were Roger jokes. He had the whole charter bus on a UMYF ski trip going for hours about a poodle on an airplane with a brick in his mouth. If you were there, you remember. We all thought it was gonna be the cigar. I still give Roger credit for that stupid joke every time I make my kids mad telling it. I think he may have actually stolen the jokes from his dad, PopCorn. What great memories with all the Corn family! Love you guys!

While meeting with the NCHS principal and a few other folks, Roger and a couple of AP’s walked in.  Roger was dressed up, the rest of us were more casual.  The comments about him trying to one up the others in the office began immediately.  Everyone, including Roger, was laughing.   I spoke up and said, “Oh Baby you look just fine, don’t listen to them.”   The laughter doubled because I called him Baby!   Roger, like me, didn’t think anything was unusual.  LOL.  I explained that I had known him since he was a little kid, hence I would take up for him and call him Baby, if necessary.  LOL, so much for the meeting.   Jimmie McGary

For a few years, some folks were afraid to send their kids to North Crowley High School. But having a friend like Roger as an AP there, reassured me that my boys and my niece (and kids from our youth group) were safe there. Many times at football games when others may have been frazzled, he was always calm and could talk easily to disruptive kids and parents. One time he told me of a time when he was sitting in his office monitoring video cameras and noticed my son about to enter a room where a fight was going on, so he rushed from his office and was able to settle things down before my son entered the door. Roger was a great school administrator and respected by many students and parents.

Before there was Dude Perfect, there was basketball at the Corn's house. In 1990, I had just gotten a VHS camcorder and was getting ready for our first son Jeff to be born, so I had some fun playing around with the camera. I'm so glad I captured some of my great friends having fun playing basketball. Today we take it for granted that we always have a camera in our pockets, but I'm glad I converted this over to digital format and edited it down. This is one of my many great memories Roger. He's the one in the pink tank top.

I'm grateful for the jokes, the laughter, the light you brought everywhere, for making our campus a family, for making a stressful environment a happy place to work, the cookouts, the football jokes over the intercom, the calm tone when I was stressed, for seeing the goodness in me when I didn't see it in myself, for bringing out the best in me, for the days off maybe I wasn't technically supposed to take but you knew some things mattered more in life, for TRULY caring, and for the jumper cables I still have in my car, because you gave me a jump and told me to take them in case I got stuck again. For all these things and much more. I miss you Mr. Corn. Words will never express the difference you made.
