He was born May 13, 1963, in Alton, Illinois, the son of Nancy J. (Zimmer) Corbin of Alton and the late Paul E. Corbin.

Chuck dedicated many years of service working in maintenance for the Alton School District. He had a passion for yard sales and was an avid collector who took great pride in finding and negotiating a good deal. He especially cherished antiques and enjoyed restoring concrete yard ornaments.

Above all, Chuck treasured his family. He deeply enjoyed holidays and family gatherings, creating lasting memories with those he loved.

In addition to his beloved mother, Nancy, he is survived by his sister, Lisa (Rick) Wahl of Brighton; his brother and brother-in-law, Ken (Jason Denton) Corbin of Hartford; his niece, Hope (Adam Schaibly) Izard of Godfrey; and many extended family members and dear friends.
