Bart Corcoran

Born on March 5, 1934, into the Irish Catholic family of Dr. Bartholomew Edward Sr. and Virginia Corcoran of Green Isle, MN, Bart embraced life - from his fun-filled shenanigan days as a boy in Green Isle, to his 3 Sport Letterman High School years and ensuing college years at St. Thomas, to his early flying days in the Air Force training on the beloved T-33 Shooting Star to his latter ones flying the Northwest Boeing 747. Bart’s love for flying was apparent and only outmatched by his love for his family.

He found great joy in spending time with his kids and grandkids. From telling "dad jokes" to building forts and attending sporting events beyond count, he thoroughly delighted in and was proud of his entire family.

Bart devoutly practiced his Catholic faith his entire life and generously supported and served the parishes he attended – from St. Brendan’s in Green Isle to St. Anthony of Padua in Las Vegas. His devotion to God, his faith and family was and still is an inspiration to those who were blessed to know him.

Bart is survived by his wife of 55 years, Barbara, his 4 children, Chris (Lara) Corcoran, Mike (Melissa) Corcoran, Susan (Troy) Held, and Kari (Kameron) Kildea, and his 8 wonderful grandchildren. Bart also left behind 2 brothers, Tony and Tim, and 2 sisters, Sheila and Sharon.

To honor Bart's memory, we are holding a celebration of life ceremony on December 12th, 2022. Mass will be held at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church at 11am, with the praying of the Rosary beginning at 10:30am. Following Mass, there will be an Interment of Ashes service held at Palm Mortuary on North Jones beginning at 12:30 pm with a reception following. We invite anyone who knew Bart to attend and remember his beautiful life with us.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made in Bart's name to St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Las Vegas.
