WELDON ROGER CORBIN

WELDON ROGER CORBIN 10/24/1937 - 05/01/2025 On May 1, 2025 Roger stepped into a saddle on a big beautiful bay horse and rode off into that big pasture in the sky to meet his forever trail boss, Jesus, and on to his final ranch spread. Roger was eagerly greeted by those that had entered before him; his mother-Thelma Attebury Corbin, father-Weldon Bailey Corbin, daughter-Sheri Corbin Fearis, wife-Rebecca Simmons Corbin, brother-Wylie Corbin Lewis, and grandson-Taylor Corbin. Weldon Roger Corbin, was born on October 24, 1937, in Forestburg, TX to Thelma Attebury Corbin and Weldon Bailey Corbin. Roger loved his family incredibly, and devoted his life to serving, mentoring & educating the lives of countless farmers, ranchers, families, youth and colleagues engaged in the Agriculture Industry all over the nation. He received his Bachelor Degree in both Agriculture Science and Agriculture Education from Texas Tech University in 1961; and his Master of Science Degree in Agriculture Science in 1967 from East Texas State University. From 1967 to 1989 Roger unwaveringly served the Ellis County area, going on to become one of the most distinguished County Extension Agents that ever lived, and worked for the Texas A&M Extension Service. In 1978 he was awarded the 'Distinguished Service Award' which is the highest recognition given by the National Association of County Agricultural Agents. Upon retirement from the Extension Service in 1990, Roger owned & ran "Ranchers Supply" in Midlothian, TX. He was a founding member of the Cowboy Church of Ellis County and played an intricate role in the start-up of half-dozen Cowboy Churches in the state of Texas. Roger was a man of impeccable character, Godly integrity, & lived a life of serving others.
