Corwin
March 11, 1954
September 19, 2025
Eric H. Corwin was born on March 11, 1954 in an Army MASH in Austria. His father's work brought him back to the United States in 1956, and Eric grew up in Northern Virginia with his parents, Howard S. and Sydelle Friedman Corwin and his older brother, Jack. Eric passed away quietly at home from pancreatic cancer on September 19, 2025 in Colorado Springs, CO at the age of 71.
Eric grew up in the Washington, DC area. He graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, CT in 1976 with a BS in Trinity's first Computer Science major (that he helped create) and an Art Minor. In 1978 he earned his MA in Computer Science at Duke University in Durham, NC. Eric spent his career in the tech industry working as a programmer, a marketing manager, and as a software manager, director and VP.
Eric met his future wife, Bonnie, in California in 1982, and they were married there in 1987. They moved to Colorado Springs in 1990 when Eric started the Rocky Mountain Technology Center for Sun Microsystems, Inc. They fell in love with Colorado, raised their family there and stayed through retirement.
Eric is survived by his wife, Bonnie (Burrus); his two children: Natalie (Jay) Corwin and Samuel Corwin; and his brother, Jack.
A Celebration of Life service is planned for Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 11am at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 730 N. Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, CO. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that those wishing to honor Eric contribute to their favorite cancer research charity in his memory.
