Curtis C. Corbin passed away at age 75, on July 27, 2022, at home in East Lansing, MI, with his wife Diane by his side. He tired in his fight of a lengthy illness. Curt was born on May 17, 1947, in Mason, MI to Robert J. and Norma Isabell (Doty) Corbin. He grew up and attended school in Haslett, MI.
On June 15, 1968, Curt married Diane K. Reedy, a marriage lasting more than 54 years until his passing. They were blessed with 2 daughters, Tamela Lynn in 1969 and Kelly Ann (deceased) in 1972. He worked for the City of East Lansing, retiring in 2002 after 34 years of service.
Curt was a loving, caring, compassionate man, who generously helped others with whatever they needed. He was multi-talented and excelled in construction, landscaping, all things mechanical, rebuilding his classic cars and more. He built the home where he and Diane reside. Curt was a man who made friends easily. He loved talking to people to learn their story and take interest in what had been going on in their lives. He loved getting together with friends and family, laughing, joking and all the things that accompanied those times. Most cherished was the time he spent with family, at gatherings, holidays and the lake. Time spent cruising on his pontoon, riding the SeaDoos, swimming, fishing, campfires, playing cards, or just watching lake activities were some of his favorites. He made sure all were having a good time.
