It’s been 11 years since we lost Corey Haim, and fans are paying tribute to the late actor alongside those who knew him best. A former teen idol, Haim is best remembered for frequently working with Corey Feldman and appearing in movies like Lucas, Silver Bullet, The Lost Boys, and License to Drive. He passed away at the age of 38 in 2010 due to complications from pneumonia.
On the eleventh anniversary of Haim’s passing, Corey’s sister, Cari Haim, posted a tribute message remembering her younger brother. On Twitter, Cari writes: “Today marks 11 years since my brother #CoreyHaim left this earth. We’re thinking of him today and are touched by the lovely messages that fans are leaving. So wonderful that he is remembered by so many. Some pics of us in the 70s and with our youngest brother Daniel in the 90s.”

The Lost Boys co-star Jamison Newlander added, “I’m not good at remembering my old friends in a linear way. I tend to think about #CoreyHaim a little bit every week. Today I think about what a talent he was, because he understood something about being human – enough to bring his characters to life in front of us. Xo my friend.”

And another fan responds to Feldman’s post with: “This very sad cause I loved Corey Haim and probably always will. He was such a cutie pie and a really sweet guy. It makes me mad that he had to endure the abuse that was inflicted upon him at such a young age. He will always be in our hearts and minds as well as with you.”

Corey Haim died eleven years ago today. I wonder what he’d be doing if he was still kickin’ around.
Addiction is a disease and it robs us of so many wonderful people. Also we don’t do enough to protect children in Hollywood and it’s gross as fuck.
