In Memory Of

Michael Corbett, age 60, of Miles City.

June 9, 1962 – March 19, 2023

Michael James Corbett, Mike, was born on Saturday June 9, 1962, to proud parents James Wendall Corbett and Deanne Evelyn (Webber) Corbett in Great Falls, Montana.
His father’s teaching profession exposed Mike to a great educational foundation. He lived in many different communities in Montana, including Billings, Lewistown, and Havre. He attended schools in Polson, Kalispell, and Sidney, graduating from Sidney High School in 1981. He drove truck for Denowh Sand and Gravel until his boss told him to sign up for college; Mike then enrolled at Northern Montana College in Havre, and he graduated in 1984. While attending NMC, he met a girl in his automotive class. He fell in love with Linda (Hall) because of their common interest in cars. Linda and Mike were married on June 24th 1985.
After college, Mike worked at many local car dealerships in Forsyth and Miles City including Bogg’s Chevrolet, Heberle Ford, Mac’s Frontierland, Notbohm’s and lastly at Deluxe Motors. He was a talented mechanic and could fix any make and model. He passed away on Sunday March 19th in Miles City.
Mike loved to fill his time with drag racing, his dog Daisy, watching the Packers and travelling with Linda. He had three Cocker Spaniels: Chevelle, Malibu, and Daisy.
Drag cars included a 1965 Chevrolet Malibu, a 1980 Chevrolet Malibu (Larry Kopp’s old car), a 1984 Chevrolet Camaro (old Pro Stock car) and then back to the 1965 Chevrolet Malibu (which Linda and Mike totally rebuilt), a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro and the 1968 Chevrolet Impala station wagon. All his drag cars had 4-speed trannies with the last 3 in the Stock Eliminator class. He valued his many friendships in the racing community as much as he enjoyed winning any race.
An avid muscle car collector, Linda’s and Mike’s collection includes Chevelles, Corvairs, Corvettes, Camaros, and Pontiacs. Mike bought his first big block SS396 Chevelle while still in high school which he still owned at the time of his passing. He always could be found working on and restoring a muscle car or drag car in his garage at his home. Mike always took time to help friends and family troubleshoot mechanical issues on their cars.
He is preceded in death by Charles and Irene Corbett- his father’s parents, Harold and Audrey Webber his mother’s parents, Charles and Gerald Corbett his father’s brothers, Michael Webber mother’s brother, and James Wendall Corbett, his loving father.
He is survived by wife Linda; mother Deanne; uncle Jack; aunt Bonnie; aunt Donna; aunt Joyce; cousins Shawn, Scott, Pam, Jennifer, Michael, Tanya, Teresa, Connie, Carla, and Jan. He is also survived by in-laws Jim, Helen, Wanda, Jim; nieces and nephews – Jessica, Alyssa, Katie, Drew, McKinley and Laina.
Mike will be remembered for his love for Linda, his talents for tuning engines, his joy in drag racing, and the speed at which he lived his life.

  99. Linda, i am so sorry to hear of Mikes passing. My condolences and sympathy to you and the families.

  100. So sorry for your loss !Mike sure looked like Aunt Audrey and everyone said he was such a Good Man !!

  102. Linda,
    We are so sorry for your loss! Mike was a damn good guy and we will all miss him around here! We will definitely miss his sense of humor, watching him throw snow balls at the squirrels, and so much more! And Ammo will miss waiting for him to come home from work, while he waits at the gate, howling and begging him for treats! Haha! Mike spoiled him! We couldn’t ask for better neighbors! You’re more like family! We are here for you! If you need anything at all- we want to help anyway we can! You’re in our thoughts and prayers… and we love you Linda!

  103. Linda,
    Please accept my sympathies on the loss of Mike. May your memories be a blessing.

  104. Linda, so sorry to hear about Mike, you are in our prayers and if you need anything, please call us. Love you guys! 🙏

  106. To Linda and the rest of the Corbett family my heart goes out to you. I always enjoyed talking with Mike at the track and little be known back when I was a teenager in the old Lewistown days Mike took some time and helped straighten out some tuneup issues I was having and I have never forgot that even though years later I asked Mike if he remembers and he didn’t but it made a big impact on me about the kind of guy he was.

  107. Linda, You are in our thoughts and prayers. Our sincere condolences.

  108. Linda, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Mike’s passing and your health issues. I’m so very sorry that such a wonderful person is going through such painful turmoil. I know noone can understand what you are going through unless they’ve experienced themself and I also know that words of sympathy, no matter how deeply felt, can help right now, but I want you to know that you have my deepest, most sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers. Having lost an amazing husband who was my everything, I can well-understand the depths of your loss. Mike was a good man and touched the lives of many. I know his loss will be sorely felt. It is hard to reach out to others and equally difficult to let well wishing people in. Please surround yourself with true friends and loved ones. Time helps heal the pain and treasured memories will bring comfort and happiness. Love and prayers.

  109. Linda,
    I am praying that God will encircle you in his loving arms as you go through this incredibly difficult time.

  112. Linda; Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the Corbett family. I grew up with working with Mike and with a lot of his relatives. In fact I had a 1972 Cheverly that I used to drag race and I ask Mike if he would like to race the car for me and he took me up on the offer and he feel in love with the sport. God Bless You and your family. Tim and Susan Sobolik

  113. Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. May God wrap his loving arms around you and give and comfort.
