Obituary
Billie Gene Corbin Jr. passed away on August 17th, 2017 at Mills Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame, CA after a nearly 3-year battle with pancreatitis. During his last few days, he was moved to his favorite room in 4 west that had a clear view of the helipad he saw being built the past year he was there. He was 57 years old. He is survived by his wife Beverly Corbin, daughter Cassandra Corbin, brother Jeff Corbin, mother Mary Herpel and father-in-law Gary Herpel.

Born and raised in El Reno, Oklahoma, Billie always enjoyed puzzles and playing games with his Brother. He also enjoyed bowling, ping pong, billiards, tennis, hunting and river rafting. In high school, he thrived in shop classes and learned to paint cars. As soon as he graduated he worked at Custom Grinding and Machining for almost 10 years. He left to work as an IATA Certified Hazmat Packer at San Francisco Packing Corporation.

Billie was more than just a loving husband and father; he made an effort to help others whenever he could. He was a favorite around the figure skating community and was known for his innovative and enormous props. Not only did he do props on his own, he also collaborated with others, becoming the Prop Masters. He loved working behind the scenes at competitions and shows at Ice Center San Mateo, Nazareth Ice Oasis and San Jose Logitech Ice.  His handiness was always appreciated and he was ready to fix any problem that came his way.

We would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses at Mills Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame, CA. Billie was always his happiest knowing he was being taken care of so well. 4West adopted him as their own when he was able to go to the 4th floor. E made sure he would stay on that side, They loved him and he loved them back.. Even though he spent most of the past 3 years there, his attitude never strayed from positive.

Hi Mr. Corbin,

I recently saw your photo on social media and something told me not to scroll past. I said to myself I know this man he's Cassie's father. I started to wonder if something happened and quickly thought no there was no way and

Thank you for your dedicated service to Ice Center of San Mateo. I will always remember you and Cassie and her Mom as big fixtures of the San Mateo Ice Rink. I learned it was you who built all those amazing Props for our shows.

When we had that grand opening on the reopening of Ice Center San Mateo I tried looking for you or Cassie but little did I know you got sick and passed on to heaven. The rink was also jam packed with people there was no room to move.

We will miss you always. Rest In Peace Sir.

I have so many memories of Bill but my first is when he offered to run to Home Depot to buy an Audio cable that went bad at the beginning of April Ambush. I remember thinking, Wow, you don't know me. He wouldn't take any money for saving my hide! That day started a friendship with Bill and his family that I have cherished every day since. 

Bill, Thank you for your friendship. You are missed everyday. Please give my love to mom too! - Cindy Wheeler Volz - R&J Video and ETC Sports Video

Bill, Rest In Peace. Thank you for bringing Cassie to the skating rink every Saturday so our girls, Kaitlin and Paige, could skate with her. You were so nice to the girls and we have never forgotten. We are still in shock ❤️

We will never know a more loving, caring, doting husband, dad, son, brother and genuine friend as Bill.
Bill, you were always ready to lend a helping hand to all of us. You had the talent of figuring things out no matter what it was. The creative sets you built for the ice rink were amazing!
John remembers when you and Ron would come to Sonora to fish. John would go to the Bay Area to fish as well. You guys had a fun time. John, always loved your work stories. Especially, when you had to do some creative packaging. He wondered what the recipients thought!
Bill, you were a valiant fighter especially the few weeks before you passed. There were a lot of prayers said for you and family. We still pray everyday for Bev and Cassie and the rest. Beverly and Cassie we will always be here for you.
Bill, loved life as is evident from his courageous struggle to live. Despite his pain and suffering . But now he will be rewarded with more peace and enjoyment than he ever imagined!
May your light continue to shine brightly in our hearts!
With our love, hugs, kisses and blessings,
John and Patty Hansen

Bill you will be missed by all who knew you. You were such a special person. You were always smiling, happy and made those around you thankful you were in their lives. It is hard to accept your passing and come to terms with the loss. Your spirit will always be with us. Your struggle has finally ended and you are now at peace. ❤️

My precious son, I miss you so very much.
RIP my gentle giant. No one will ever be able to take your place in my heart or in my life. I pray that the Lord Jesus has laid His gentle hands on you and healed you. Now I pray that He heals me, my heart, my emotions, my spirit, my body and my soul. Until we meet again my love.
