Corey Rudl – Sad, Sad News

Corey RudlI am deeply saddened to learn that Corey Rudl, founder and President of the Internet Marketing Center, died suddenly yesterday at the tender age of 34.

Here is the release from Associated Press…

“Two men were killed when their car crashed and caught fire at the California Speedway, authorities said.

Benjamin Miles Keaton, 39, and his passenger, Corey Nicholas Rudl, 34, both of La Jolla, died Thursday when Keaton’s 2005 Porsche Carrera GT left the track and slammed into a barrier. The engine compartment then caught fire, according to a sheriff’s report.

Rudl was pronounced dead at the scene. Keaton was airlifted to Loma Linda University Hospital, where he died about an hour later, according to the San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office.

The accident occurred while the track was being rented by the San Diego chapter of the Ferrari Owners Club.

The men are the fourth and fifth fatalities at California Speedway since it opened in 1997.”

In sharing his Internet marketing strategies and software solutions, Corey is credited with helping entrepreneurs and businesses worldwide succeed in their online businesses… my own included.

Only a few short weeks ago, at Yanik’s Underground Seminar in Washington, D.C., I had the opportunity and privilege to thank Corey in person for his (huge) part in my success … and now he’s gone.

Corey’s passing is a great loss to the world of Internet marketing and he will be sadly missed.

    My mouth just dropped open! For ‘Net Marketers like me, loosing Corey is like losing my Father.

    He will be deeply missed.

  3. Marc says:

    So, so sad to just hear about Corey’s tragic death.

    I had just purchased his huge program “Insider’s Secrets to Internet Marketing” and was about to send him an email to thank him for all his efforts and now this….For the little time i knew of him he seemed like my guardian angel and my life seemed destined to finally get on the right track with this business and Corey’s guidance… My heart is now very heavy with his passing… we must continue on in his memory now.

    Corey would want us to persist.

  4. Tiat Leong says:

    When I first heard about it, my heart was heavy.

    I have gotten a copy of Corey’s manual and have just started to read his manual. And now he is gone. My condolence goes out to his wife and family – do take care.

    How precious and short life is. We must learn to treasure our friends, family, relatives every minutes, seconds that we have.

  5. Steve Hespen says:

    Wow! What a blow! When I first heard about losing Corey I felt like I had just been hit hard in the stomach.

    I first bought Coreys marketing course years ago and have bought all of his updates since. I’ve seen a lot of marketers and their programs come and go but Corey was always there. I’m looking at his notebooks sitting in the bookshelf right now with all of the bookmarks and notes hanging out of them and I feel like I should go get a glass doored book case just for them.

    The online community is really going to miss him. May he rest in peace.

  6. His ebook was the first one i bought and it opened my eyes to the world and opportunity of Internet marketing.

    Rest in peace Cory.

  9. Amit Laufer says:

    Last Saturday I was shocked to learn that Corey Rudl died in a Car accident.

    Even though I never met Corey in person, Just from seeing & listening to his Video Courses I could impressed from his dynamic personality, professionalism, His strong urge to contribute as much as he could from his knowledge.

    It seems to me Corey liked Speed, He Thought and talked very Fast, He liked the Fastest Information Freeway the Internet and of course
    Fast Cars that tragically caused his premature death at Age 34.

    I am a new comer to the world of Internet Affiliate Marketing from Israel and I am Sure Corey has admirers from all over the world.

    It is a big loss to all of us, it is so sad and unfair, it is a bad dream come true.

    My best wishes and condolences to Corey’s wife, family, friends and coworkers.

  10. Eric says:

    I told myself that once I start earning something from the internet, the next step would be to purchase Mr Corey Rudl’s internet marketing course.

    To learn from the Grand Master himself.

    Alas. May he rest in peace.

  11. Romulus Harda says:

    I receive many good advice from Corey Rudl here in Romania!
    Today I receive an e-mail and my heart was hevy.
    Only 34 years old, receive my condolence.

  12. Boje Eskildsen says:

    I got the bad news last Friday. I couldn’t believe it. Although I never met him I felt I knew him very well from his internet courses and from his news letters. I really will miss him.

    We often forget to live while we are and take care of the people we love. I wish his wife and family strength to face the future.

    A little nice poem:

    We are all angels
    with one wing.
    We can’t fly
    without each other.

  13. Rance Liu says:

    It was shocking and hard to believe that Corey is gone at the tender age of 34 ! We lost a great mentor – the guy who inspired me to start my on line business. As a customer and student, I am greatly saddened by this loss. My deepest condolence to his wife, family, friends and everybody at IMC.

  14. Garry Johnson says:

    I have been with corey a couple of years now and having bought his programmes and mailloop emailer.
    He was my first person after a seminor that i had purchased his products,I will miss him and i will carry on and succeed in his name.
    My thoughts are with his family and many of his freinds

  15. Last Wednesday I recieved an e-mail from Corey that he was sending me a package about internet marketing. I have just started and his name was referred to me by Rosalind Gardner. He encouraged me on the path that I was taking on internet marketing. I salute him for his passion for helping beginners like me and the encouragement he gives out regularly until he knows that one is ready to stand on his/her feet. I thank God for his life and pray that God’s peace will be with his family and all his business friends during this difficult time. His name will be long remembered by those of us he has helped. May his soul rest in peace.

  16. My deepest sympathy goes to Corey’s family and business friends and I pray for God’s peace to cover you during this difficult time. Corey will surely be missed moreso by beginners like me who just had the opportunity to know him a week before his passing. He encouraged me and showed me the ropes in internet marketing and I thank God for his life. He had a passion for helping others and his passing has made us the poorer but heaven the richer for his presence. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.

  17. Joe Carr says:

    I first learned of Cory’s misfortune by several emails and still find it hard to believe that he has left us.

    To my amazement there was an obitury written in our local newspaper The Ottawa Citizen. “Motocross star always hungered for speed”.

    This was something I never knew about Cory.He was born and raised in Carleton Place which is only a few minutes from Ottawa. He became the Eastern Ontario champion in motocross in his mid-teens. He retired as champion in 1989 at the age of 18.

    He was a leader then and will always remain a leader to all of us who will miss him dearly.

    My deepest regrets.

    Joe Carr

  19. Ken Thomson says:

    Very, very sad. I attended his seminar in Virginia, hosted by his protege Germaine, a couple of months ago. Such intelligence, such promise and such a sudden end. Its just profoundly devastating.

  20. Bill Austin says:

    It was a shock to hear of Corey’s death. Even though I did not know him it was hard to believe that someone that seemed so dynamic in the affiliate world was suddendly gone. I’m just getting my feet wet in the affiliate business and I’m just now beginning to study under him. We can all still learn a lot from him even though he’s not with us anymore. I would like to extend my sympothy to his staff and to his family.

  21. Carolyn Scotti says:

    I was in the process of writing an article to sell Corey’s products & was shocked to hear of the fatal accident, which caused his death. Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting Corey in person, I felt I knew him thru his e-mails & Marketing Tips Alert. May Our Lord hold Corey in His Loving Arms & grant to him eternal peace. May He also grant to Corey’s wife, family & friends the strength needed during their time of need. Thank you Lord for Corey, & all the marketing knowledge he had & shared with all of us. He will be missed.

  22. Ken Summers says:

    We would like to express my shock and dismay at receiving
    such shocking news today.

    The thoughts prays, and condolence go out to Corey’s
    wife and family at large.

    My wife and I are so very very sorry

    With our most heart felt sympathys.

    Ken and Adele Summers ( France)

  23. Gerard Rowley says:

    The news of Corey’s death certainly made me think just how short life can be and if is very heart wrenching for us that have been left behind and it has certainly saddened me. My deepest sympathy goes to Corey’s new wife and his and her family.
    Our maker always takes the best first, the people who make a difference in others lives, the people who give of themselves to others and to the health, wealth and well been of others. Corey is this man, the best of the best and he will be sadly missed.
    We must now carry on his work, similar to a couple thousand years ago.
    Corey, you are sadly missed, when you have a little time, send us an email from up there. Rest in Peace.

  25. Leona says:

    I took a leave of absence from work which started today in order to devote the time to following Corey’s teachings in my hopes of internet marketing success. This is day one of my leave and I opened my email first thing this morning and found the word that Corey had so sadly died. I too am sitting here stunned. Sad. And my heart goes out to his family. Thank you Rosalind for your email also. My prayers are with you all in our internet marketing family.
