It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of TOM CORBY, of Lethbridge, Alberta, on Monday, December 12, 2022 at the age of 63 years.
Tom was predeceased by his parents Doris and Stephen Corby. He is survived by his brother Dave (Antonia) Corby; sisters Cathy Corby, Doris (John) Connors, Hilda (John) Brown, Jane (Ed) Bohuch; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Tom had a bright adventurous spirit that led him down many various roads, both good and not so good. He would always assist anyone who needed help and he was there to lend a listening ear in his AA group for many years. Tom loved and was there for his parents in their old age and their time of need, along with his sister Cathy. Tom was a welder by trade and developed many other skills over the years. He was an artist, a poet and enjoyed listening to his favorite CKUA radio station. Even as he began to have heart and other health issues he enjoyed fishing, biking and walking in nature. Tom loved prospecting for ammolite with his sister's dog, Lucy, and going to the South Country Fair and dancing up a storm. Tom trusted his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and is looking forward to his soon coming. We will miss his offbeat sense of humour and distinctive laugh in our lives so much.
A Celebration of Tom's Life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 - 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Wednesday, December 28, 2022 at 11:00 A.M. with Rocky Brave Rock officiating.
In lieu of flowers a donation in Tom's name can be made to any cause supporting Ukraine.

Our friend, Tom Corby, died. My Long Time, Good Friend, +52 years Long Time..... We first met in grade 6, Belvedere Elementary school, Edmonton. One of my first & favorite memories is playing all day on the weekends with Tom. When the call for dinner came .... Tom asked if I could stay so we could play some more? The best Sunday pot roast dinners ever! The Corby family loved me. I love them. They sav this lost kid. Their home was warm, accepting, with straight up talks. Honest and wise. It only seemed to take a few words by Mr. or Mrs. Corby. We have kept in touch all our lives. I am so thankful Tom came up from Lethbridge to visit me in Calgary for a week in August this summer. Love your loved ones. Life changes in a moment...... "Words" ~Penned August 2022 ~Tom Corby "You can be absolutely dead but there is only so happy you can be." ======= Between the Tic And the Tock In the space Between Breathing in .......... and out Where within is the dawn of waking up. ======= Man is a seed his soul the sound within. Man is a torch his soul the light without And in this light Perfect love Is in the Looking Glass Where seeing ..... is being and reflecting .....is reflected and see themself in me and me in them and not me but all of me
We were very sad to hear of Tom's passing. Our heartfelt condolences to all the family. Thinking of you, Hilda, Jane, Cathy, Dave and Doris and sending our love. May Tom be at peaceful rest.
