ForeverMissed

This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Courtney Garman 18 years old , born on October 19, 1999 and passed away on October 15, 2018. We will remember her forever.

Courtney was the third-oldest of four children. She had started college in September 2018 and wanted to pursue a career in radio. She was vibrant and caring person and wouldn't want a day to go by without making someone happy. She never liked to wish bad on the people who have wronged her but if she wasn't wishing them well, she was wishing they'd learn their lesson. Courtney was a firm believer of redemption and wanted to help people redeem themselves.

On October 15, 2018, after the one college class she took was canceled for the day, Courtney and her roommate Paige were swimming in a lake that evening. Heavy winds separated the two girls and Paige lost sight of Courtney, who disappeared under the water's surface. Paige managed to make it to shore, but Courtney had drowned. Her body was found hours later.

Courtney may only have been 18 but we can't say she hasn't lived; she made great stories and memories and they will be celebrated.

October 15, I will always dread this day. We have lasted a year without seeing, hearing, or hugging you. But we will never stop loving and cherishing you. It feels as cold and miserable today as it did when you died. Wish we could have this year and all future years together instead of mourning you. But we will never forget your memory and how you lived your life.

Good morning wherever you are. Eleven months brings us closer to a full year without you. This is only an early part of the rest of our lives. Our family lost a huge chunk of our lives that is never coming back. We remember and miss you.

"Always give the respect to people as if it was their last day on Earth. Always leave lasting impact as if it was your last day on Earth."

Your high school senior quote speaks volumes. After ten months without you on your last day on Earth, I will fulfill what you wanted in sharing that appreciation. You are always leaving memories. Thanks for being such a great daughter. I love you. I miss you.

I had my first Mother's Day without you. I cannot fathom how I got through that day. Or the 7 months without you. It never feels right to say farewell.

Missing you. 3 months. You were a miracle, more than you'll know. I keep thinking how this could have happened to you, how this could have happened to us. You touched so many lives. Forever and always.

Thinking of you. The holiday season was not the same without you and we will unfortunately not know what it could have been with you around. But we have spent each moment as a family loving each other and lived Christmas to the fullest yesterday, to the way you would want it most. We love you always.

I wish the best for her family and her. She was one of the best users on that wiki.

It has been a month since you have left our world. You will never leave our family. They say I am a strong mother. I do not want to be strong, I want you here in my life. But you will always be a part of me.

Now that I am the only discussion moderator, it feels so lonely that I'm the only discussion moderator left. You have done so much for the wiki that I don't know how much Encyclopedia SpongeBobia would thrive without you. Hope for the best that the wiki still thrives even without your excellent dedication to the wiki.

Nothing can ease the pain of losing someone so close to you, but I sincerely hope that Mrs. Garman and the rest of her family may recover from this tragedy eventually. While I didn't know her personally, Courtney was such a friendly person and so kind to me. Even though she was an online friend, she was still important to all of us on ESB, and we will definitely honor her memory. Rest in Peace, Courtney.

On ESB, I am GraniteToast1992 3.0. And I'm very sad that Courtney has passed on. I may not have known her in real life, and I didn't really know much about her on ESB, but I just want to wish condolences to the family. Goodbye CheeseRoxTheWorld (Courtney's ESB Name), I'll never forget you...

Oh my. I haven't had the chance to talk to her, but I already knew that Cheese had much potential. But, since some unexpected cut her life short, it made me even sadder. I'll pass hope to her and her family. Rest in piece CheeseRos. You'll be dearly missed.

I am extremely broken. On our community, we refer her as CheeseRoxTheWorld. I just can't stop thinking about the change and huge gap we'll have in our community ESB on FANDOM. I leave my sympathies onto this kind family, who may be suffering, that raised this person into being so friendly, considerate, and kind, full of positivity to every body she met. Cheesie had charisma, she was so charming to every person she interacted with. And it's so sad to see someone pass away at this age unexpectedly. She will certainly, be remembered on FANDOM as she left a wonderful footprint of happiness in all of her hearts.

I am so sorry you had to leave this sad, cruel, world this young. I hope your family is coping without you. I speak for the rest of ESB when I say this. We miss you. The forums will never be the same without you there to contribute. Although, I never met you in person, I'm sure you were a really nice person.

Hey, her middle name is Vanessa the same name as my mother. Also, considering that I turned 18 years old recently, this post is very sad to hear. I was born on September 30, 2000, almost 1 year after Courtney was born in October 1999. I remember interacting with Courtney a little bit on the SpongeBob wiki before I was blocked indefinitely in November 2017 and before she died nearly a year later in October 2018.

I may not know you in real life but I did on ESB and you have been a friendly and great discussion moderator. It's sad to see someone at such a young age lose her life and I speak for all at ESB in that we will never forget you.

it breaks my heart, it really does, to know i'll never hear from you again. i remember you commenting on the blog i wrote for my seventeenth birthday, saying we could be dancing queens together. i remember you consoling me when i was rejected by my first choice of university, cheering me on as i graduated high school alongside you, and complimenting me on the icon i made. reading your old comments and messages now feels like seeing a ghost; it's deeply haunting in an indescribably bittersweet way.
you were one of the few other girls on the wiki and we were close in age, and in that i felt a little less alone. i felt like we were in this together, like you said we could be. i can't even begin to fathom the void this terrible tragedy has left in the lives of everyone who knew you.
i miss you, courtney.

At Encyclopedia SpongeBobia (ESB) on FANDOM, we knew Courtney by her username, CheeseRoxTheWorld. She was a leader in that she was a discussion moderator on our forums. On behalf of the ESB community, we extend our condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed by our community.

It hurts knowing I will not see you grow up like my other children but I am immensely thankful I was able to bring you into my life and share memories with you for 18 years. October 19, 1999 was one of the best days of my life. Nothing will ever ease my pain of losing a child. One day I will have hope and strength again.
