Vincent Corona Obituary

Vincent Joseph Corona left us on Sunday, March 13th, 2022 at the age of 66 after a brave battle against cancer. He leaves behind his loving wife Barbara, devoted step-son Matthew Thomas, and his babies Charlie and Foster. He is also survived by his sister Jeannie Corona, sister-in-law Anna Phillips, brother-in-law Scott Phillips, godson Adam Vincent Sartor, as well as several nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and many cousins. Vince was most proud of his years in the Navy as a Naval Aviator. He was a LtCmdr when he retired. His other passions were LSU football and playing golf with his best friends. He touched more people than he knew. Please join us in sharing memories of Vince on Sunday, April 24th at 2pm at the Diamondhead, MS Country Club. (Per Vince's wishes please wear LSU colors and no big boy pants.

Vince, This is so tough to accept. To me you were to live forever. Just as Donald said, your friendship and spirit were unlimited. You were always so nice to my family, especially to my father with all his Tulane football and WW2 Army stories. You were a real patriot serving in the US Navy many years. I´ll always remember your Christmas Eve´s at your parents home. I know you are heaven now. God Bless Cdm. Vincent Joseph Corona!

Barbara and Jeanie,

Words cannot express how sorry I am about Vincent's passing. He was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew and had a fantastic personality. I know you are all heartbroken, as am I. I pray that the memories of him that you hold dear be your strength throughout the days that follow. I hope you will find comfort by remembering all the good times.

Love,
Linda Corona Grannan
