Classmates honor 13-year-old Iowa boy found dead

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) — In between classes at Miller Middle School on a recent Monday, students stopped by locker 147, the one that used to be Corey Brown's.

Corey was found dead last month after he was missing for several days. Students at Miller Middle School recently began decorating their late classmate's locker, leaving messages on mostly green paper, reflecting Corey's favorite color.

"We will miss you so much," one message read.

"Rest in peace. You were an awesome friend and a great person and I wish I just could have said bye," another student wrote.

Dozens of other messages were written on notes stuck to the locker and on a large piece of paper hanging on a nearby wall.
