Michael Corbosiero Obituary
Phoenix - Michael F. Corbosiero, "Don Miguel", 71, of Phoenix, AZ passed away on January 13, 2018 from complications of pneumonia.
He was born in Montreal, Quebec on Dec. 2, 1946 and spent his first years in New Brunswick, until his family moved to Massachusetts. He was the oldest of six children. As a child and young man, Michael was bright, outgoing and had a very promising future.
Michael graduated from Nathanial Hawthorne College in Antrim, NH in 1969 and was employed by Gardner State Hospital as a psychologist. He married Maureen Jeffers in 1968 and they have two wonderful children. They divorced in 1973 but remained close until his death.
Michael was in a car accident in 1974, resulting in a brain injury and short term memory loss. Despite his injury, Mike found a way to live with humor and without anger at the circumstances which forever impacted his life and the life of his family.
In 1990, Michael moved with his parents to Phoenix. He was employed by Albertsons, where he worked until his recent illness. Michael loved his work, his fellow employees and the customers he met each day. He would often say, "I don't have to go to work, I get to go to work."
Michael lived at Madison Meadows where he loved, and was loved by, staff and residents. He maintained a vibrant and comedic personality throughout his life. His stories were legendary and memorable. He loved his family, extended family and everyone he met. We were all touched by his kindness and caring spirit.
Michael is survived by his son Michael and wife Lisa, their sons Nicholas and Lucas; daughter Zoey Walters and husband Chris Uber, their children Madison and Hunter Uber; brother Guy and wife Peggy; sisters Janet Corbosiero and husband Bob Guenther, Martha Patrick and husband Richard, Lisa Belko and husband Mark, Jennifer Sibley and husband Scott; and his nephews and nieces Thomas, Elizabeth, and Ryan Patrick, Mark and Brian Belko and Joey and Jada Sibley. We will ALL miss him.
Please join us for a celebration of Michael's life at 1:30 PM on Saturday, January 20, 2018 at Huger Mercy Living Center Chapel, 2345 W. Orangewood Ave, Phoenix, AZ.

Just learned of Michael's passing. He was a great friend in High School (NDHS 1964). We lost contact after graduation. Paul Antonellis was a mutual friend. Tragic to hear of his accident in 1974. My sympathy to his family. Michael was such an outgoing, friendly and caring person.

I was saddened to hear of the loss of Michael. Although I was very young when we first met in 1966 at the family reunion, I do remember him and have find memories if spending time with the family. I am sorry for your loss and pray for peace for all of you.

I was so sorry to hear of Michael's passing. Even though I haven't seen Mike for many years, I will always treasure the friendship that Buddy and I shared with him and Reenie back in the early 70's. We had a lot of fun times going to concerts and other fun events in Mike's Volkswagen van. Terry and Phyllis St. Pierre were part of the group and together we raised our young families enjoying each other's company at gatherings in our homes. Buddy and Mike were especially close and spent a lot of time together. They had similar personalities, both so much fun to be around. Mike was a very caring person and loved his friends dearly and we all loved him back. Please accept my sincerest condolences.
