Michael Christian Corwel

Michael Christian Corwel passed away peacefully on February 18th, 2024 surrounded by loving family and lifelong friends at the age of 59. After nearly two years of fighting valiantly against pancreatic cancer, he is finally at rest. Michael grew up in Milford, Connecticut and attended Platt Tech Regional High School. He enjoyed reminiscing about his youth and working summers on his uncle's farm while in school. Early in his career, he developed a passion for electronics that would see him working for Sikorsky, Entegris, and finally ASML. He was an engineer in all aspects of his life, fixing up cars, repairing old radios, and engaging in a never-ending list of home renovation projects. He was a jack-of-all-trades who could come up with a creative and logical solution to most any problem. When he wasn't tinkering, he loved putting his energy into music: playing guitar and singing for several local bands over the course of his life. He enjoyed being outdoors, boating, and camping with his friends. Michael is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years Deborah Corwel; daughter Jamie Monico and her husband Patrick; son Christian Corwel and his fiancé Elle; sister Lara Edmondson and husband Jeff, as well as several nieces, nephews and extended family members. A celebration of life ceremony is being planned, with details to come. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN).
