He lived much of his life in Wisconsin. In more recent years he lived in Daytona Beach, Florida and Huber Heights, Ohio.

Michael dedicated over 40 years to Wisconsin's Department of Administrative Services, as an expert in Information Technology, where he was respected and valued for his commitment, expertise and good humor.

Michael graduated from Edgewood High School and furthered his education at Madison Area Technical College, which laid the groundwork for his successful career.

He is also survived by grandsons David Cabogason, Dalan Cabogason (Katie), Daniel Fueston; great-grandson Xavier Fueston, and Jeffrey White. Michael was preceded in death by his parents, and his brother, Matthew Corbett.

Michael was a man always in motion. He appreciated nature and enjoyed kayaking, often accompanied by his dog Roscoe. He also enjoyed playing pool and darts, sometimes with his buddies at the Stein Club in Madison, Wisconsin.

Michael learned how to be a skilled craftsman from his father. He found pleasure in working on various construction projects throughout his life. He enjoyed traveling and he held a special fondness for Walt Disney World, which he did indeed view as a magical place. His favorite holiday was Christmas; and he loved Christmas decorations, especially the Christmas tree. He always knew how many ornaments and light bulbs he had managed to include each year.

Michael will be remembered for his dedication and love to his family, his passion for his hobbies, and his professional accomplishments. He leaves behind a legacy of love, perseverance, and the joy of a life well-lived. "Take Care, Be Good."
