Mr. David "Earl" Corbett Jr., son of the late Mr. David Corbett Sr. and Ms. Viola Walker Corbett, was born on October 11, 1964 in Alamance County and resided in Caswell County. Earl departed this life on Sunday February 26, 2023 at his home.
Earl was a loving son, a loving brother and a loving uncle to his family. Earl was very much known and loved by his family, friends and the community. Earl was a loving and kind hearted person and he left an everlasting impression on all who met him. Whatever the task maybe; pulling tobacco, killing hogs, handy man service or gardening, Earl worked hard and diligently to care for his long life friend Gina Summers and he deeply loved and took very good care of his faithful mother (Mama).
Earl leaves behind to cherish his memories his "Mama" Viola Walker Corbett; his sister, Doris A.
