Obituary of Jeffrey Christopher Corley

Jeffrey Christopher Corley, 62, was born in Babbitt, MN on September 22^nd, 1959 to Gladys “Garberich” and Christopher Corley. He passed unexpectedly on February 14^th, 2022.

Jeff took pride in his work. Whether he was working at Watco Publishers, Lakeside Press, or Walmart, he thrived on exceeding expectations. His coworkers knew they could depend on him whether it was work-related or personal.

He loved going to concerts, musicals, sporting events, and live performances. Among his sports memorabilia, he saved all his ticket stubs as a reminder of his adventures. If he couldn’t be there in person, you could find him at Ruff’s watching NASCAR or other sports. Even in his final moments, he listened to the Superbowl. He had a vast collection of multimedia. In addition to his hobbies, he served as a Chaplain for the Elks.

Jeff highly valued his relationships, be that family or friends. He treated everyone like family and always put others first.

He is survived by his sister LaVonne, several nieces and nephews, and extended family.

As a religious man, Jeff knew he would not only be joining his mother and father, but would be met by his best friend, Ron Weishalla, brother-in-law, Glen Johnson, and sister, Bobbie Paulzine at the gates of heaven, all of whom he missed.

All those who loved him are invited to celebrate his life on June 5^th, 2022 at the family farm. Please contact Robin at robbi_c@live.com for further details. If you are looking for a way to pay tribute to Jeff, order some steak with potatoes, and an A&W root beer to commemorate the good times.
