Daniel Lawrence Corboy (1956-2025)
Daniel Lawrence Corboy, 68, passed away on April 20th, 2025 at Sewickley Hospital. He passed in comfort with his only daughter, Carolyn, holding his hand. His family and friends sent loving thoughts and prayers and will dearly miss him. He was born on May 15th, 1956 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. He grew up on “Pine Hill” with his parents, Trevor Corboy and Vera Osborne Thibedeau Corboy, who preceded him in death. He also lived there with his three brothers, the late Vern Thibedeau, the late Gene Corboy, and Jim Corboy.
Family and friends were the most important thing to Dan, and he loved them fiercely. The relatives who survive him are dear to him, and in addition to his parents and two of his brothers, he was preceded in death by his beloved Aunt Ruth.
Daniel graduated from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario with a BA in both History and English Literature. At Queen’s, he met Mary Whalen, who became his beloved wife of 45 years. He was unfailing in his love and support of Mary, proud of her nursing endeavors, and loved Mary’s family dearly. His loss is truly heartbreaking for Mary. Dan and Mary have one daughter (Carolyn Ruth), a son-in-law (Christopher), and a granddaughter (Bailie).
Daniel had a special relationship with Carolyn (Daddy and Daughter) and at his retirement at age 62, he chose to settle in Pennsylvania to be near Carolyn, Bailie, and Christopher. Over the years, everyone helped each other along with enjoying the time together. He also adopted a cat, Endora, who was his daily companion throughout the last years of his life and now will be living with Carolyn’s family.
He loved being a good Dad and this continued throughout his life in ways too numerous to detail. He really is Carolyn’s hero forever.
Bailie (beloved granddaughter) and Daniel became “best friends.” They could talk to each other about anything. Bailie describes him as someone who always put others first, had courage, strength, wisdom, and a heart of gold.
Christopher (CJ) was more than a son-in-law to Daniel because he was loved as a son. He accepted and loved CJ unconditionally and CJ felt that Daniel was a safe place.
Carolyn, Bailie, and CJ are so grateful for the wonderful time they had with Daniel and nothing will ever be able to fill his place.
At age fifteen, Daniel started as a produce clerk and worked his way up to the grocery industry’s corporate level. He told stories of throwing watermelons over the wall for processing. He respected hard work in all creatures and found value in everyone, even spiders and ants.
Within his corporate career, which included chemical distribution, Dan earned many promotions and was immensely proud of his long years of service and becoming a subject matter expert. He was known as “the man who could solve the problem.”
Throughout his life and career, he lived in Canada, New Mexico, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Texas. He has a rich life full of adventures, and he made close connections in all of those places.
Dan was an avid Doris Day fan and took great pride and joy in his unique and extensive collection. He made many friends who also loved Doris. A highlight of his life was that he met Doris and shared letters and conversations with her over several years. In one conversation, Doris even talked him into getting kittens for Carolyn. When you hear Doris, think of Dan.
The family will be putting together a memorial presentation at a date to be determined to celebrate Daniel’s life. If you’d like to include any photos / stories of Dan, please send to Carolyn @ PittsburghCRC@gmail.com.
His daughter Carolyn will be in touch when the memorial presentation is ready. Arrangements have been entrusted to the branch of Huntsman Funeral Home & Cremation Services.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to: The Doris Day Animal Foundation at www.dorisdayanimalfoundation.org.
