Benjamin Corbitt Obituary

Benjamin D. Corbitt, 27, passed from this life into the arms of his Savior on Thursday, May 16, 2013, at his home in Woodland Park. Ben was born in Visalia, CA and moved to Colorado with his family in 1995. He is survived by his parents, David & Cheri Corbitt; his brother, Nathaniel; and his grandparents, Howard & Betty Clark, Ray & Lisa Corbitt, and John & Judith Nino. Ben graduated from Woodland Park High School in 2004. He was trained as an EMT and a Veterinary Assistant. He had also served as a volunteer firefighter/EMT with the Northeast Teller County Fire District. Ben had a great love for life, and a genuine care and compassion for others. He loved working with animals, and was employed with the Animal Medical Center of Woodland Park at the time of his passing. He was an active member of his church in Colorado Springs, The Master's House. We will celebrate Ben's life at his Home-Going Service Monday, May 20th, at 1:00pm at The Master's House, 124 N. Delaware Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80909. A Viewing will be held Sunday, May 19th between 6-8pm, also at The Master's House.

May Your Family Find Comfort During This Difficult Time.

Matt. 11:28-30…Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU.
Jesus offers to help us pull our load! We do not have to do it in our own strength.

With My Deepest Sympathy,

Ben will be missed by the staff of Colorado Wolf and Wildlife. We were all sad to hear of his passing.

My wife, Cheryl, and I only knew Benjamin as distant relatives in Chicago. But judging from the love apparent in all these messages & his achievements in his young life, his character is a reflection of his faith and unconditional love of his parents. While his home going seems untimely to us, he awaits all his family with his Creator & questions not the timing.

Bro. David and Sis. Cheri, you will never know how much Ben meant to me as a friend. He had a way of making me laugh when no one else could. I know he is waiting for us in Heaven and will be one of the first to welcome us home. RIP Ben, see you on the other side.

David, Cheri & Nate while our hearts are heavy with the loss of someone so special to so many we rejoice in the knowledge that Ben has crossed the finish line with his arms raised high in praise to his creator and redeemer. It will be a great reunion in heaven. Bless you all.

Ben, the stairs you climbed are so much more rewarding than these but I will never be able to finish the Incline without thinking of you! Thank You!!

Ben, My son had told me all about you and your part in saving his life. I had hoped one day to meet you and thank you in person. We never know, do we? I pray you are in the arms of our Lord Jesus and I will ask Him to convey to you what is in my heart. He had a job in Heaven that no one but you could fill. I pray your family will find peace in the time they had with you and the knowledge of what a special place He had for you in His Kingdom.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Ben in person but we were close in the Covino & Rich community.

Ben was always doing everything he could to make others laugh and smile.
