Terry W. Corbin

Terry W. Corbin, 73, of Columbia, Kentucky, died Friday, April 17, 2026, at his home.

He was born November 8, 1952, in Columbia, Kentucky, to the late Buford and Doris Kemp Corbin.

He had made a profession of faith in Christ and was a member of the Shiloh Christian Church, while we will all miss him here, we are sure he is playing that bass guitar in God’s choir as proud as he did at Shiloh Christian Church. He was honored to serve as deacon and always wanted to be at every service as health would allow him to. He was well known as the “Black Top Man” as he had a career with Gaddie-Shamrock for over forty years. He was always ready to start a conversation with anyone he met. He had many stories about people he got to know along his way. He was a kind hardworking man that enjoyed life to the fullest. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, hunting, and fishing with his buddy, Donnie.
