Two people who know
what the dark feels like.
And chose the light.
Cory and Kelly aren’t professionals, therapists, or grant-funded advocates. They’re real people who’ve been through real struggles — addiction, loss, the kind of darkness that makes tomorrow feel impossible. This mission was born from that.
Cory Richez & Kelly Logan — Founders, Suicide Awareness Bus & Spirit House™
Cory Richez
Co-Founder & Mission LeadA suicide survivor himself, Cory has faced addiction, mental health crises, and loss firsthand. He turned every one of those battles into fuel for this mission. Cory drives. Cory builds. Cory shows up.
Kelly Logan
Co-Founder & Spirit House LeadKelly is the heart of the Spirit House — the sacred space where people come to grieve, remember, and breathe. She holds space with a gentleness that only comes from having needed it herself.
Where it began.
Over four and a half years ago, Cory and Kelly converted a school bus into a rolling memorial — a mobile museum made of glitter, glue, ashes, and memory. They had no blueprint. No grants. No professional backing.
They had pain. And they chose to turn it into purpose.
“We’re just real people who’ve been through real struggles. We’ve both known what it feels like to not want to be here. And from that darkness, we chose to create something that screams live.”
What makes this different.
Most advocacy lives online. The Suicide Awareness Bus goes to where people are — Walmart parking lots, truck stops, town squares, quiet side roads. They go where spirit leads them, because someone out there is waiting to be found.
The Spirit House travels with them — a sacred space for reflection, healing, and remembrance. Together, they create the only mobile graveyard in the world. Not to glorify death, but to shout one message: please, stay. Live.
They carry ashes, obituaries, signatures, and sacred items from families across the country. Each name on the wall is a promise: you were here. You were loved. You are not forgotten.
