Irving Corbett
Irving Corbett of Kalaheo died on March 15, 2008, at Maha‘ulepu beach while kite surfing, from an apparent heart attack. He was born July 12, 1957, in Jacksonville, Fla.
As a child, he was able to go around the world twice, once on a cargo ship, and once on a freighter ship. This instilled a love of travel that stayed with him throughout his life. During his lifetime he worked as a golf pro, ski instructor, owned a windsurfing shop, and worked as a handyman. He had recently begun building his own home in Kalaheo.
He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Katy, and daughter Madison Kate.
Irving will be remembered as a gentle man who was kind and listened well. He was devoted to his family and loved being a husband and father. His faith in God gave him a peace that passes all understanding.
The family wishes to express its deep gratitude to those on the beach who came in his aid and tried everything they could to save him. Mahalo.
Visitation will begin at noon on Saturday, March 22, with services starting at 1 p.m. at the Kalaheo Missionary Church. Scattering of his ashes will follow at Maha‘ulepu beach at 3 p.m. The family requests no flowers please.
Arrangements are being handled by Garden Island Mortuary Ltd.
