Victor L. ‘Vic’ Corwin

GLADSTONE — Victor L. “Vic” Corwin, 82, of Gladstone, passed away on Friday, April 11, 2025 at his home surrounded by all his children and grandchildren.

Vic was born to Harold and Charlotte (Micheau) Corwin on December 23, 1942, in Gladstone. He was a graduate of Gladstone Area High School. On June 16, 1962, he was united in marriage to his beloved wife, Sandra G. (Pettit) Corwin, with whom he shared 61 beautiful years. Victor proudly served our country in the United States Army, earning an honorable discharge on February 2, 1965. He and his wife Sandra then established their lifelong home in Gladstone where they raised their four children.

Vic retired from Mead Paper in 2005 after 34 years of service. Many of his co-workers often referred to him as the “Mill Chaplain”. Throughout his life, Victor was known for many things. A few of which being his unwavering faith and love for Jesus, enjoying hours out on the course playing golf, hunting, especially cherished outings with his grandson Layne.

Victor was always the light of his family and peers, never failing to make everyone laugh and feel unconditionally loved. He also enjoyed “putzing around” in his home workshop, there was almost nothing he couldn’t fix, and when he couldn’t, you knew it by his infamous saying – “Stupid outfit!”

Above all, alongside his faith, Victor was a dedicated family man. To his children, he was a provider, protector, and an incredible father. He became an equally loving grandfather.

Victor is survived by sisters, Gloria (Dan) Zwicker of Menominee, Clare (Jim) Morris of Gwinn, and Joyce (Dick) Feathers of Gladstone.

Children John (Melissa) Corwin of Iron Mountain, Craig (Yvonne) Corwin of Northfield, MN, Jay (Anita) Corwin of Faribault, MN, and Victoria (Marcus) Prechodko of Northfield MN. Grandchildren Jennifer Corwin, Joshua (Kaitlin) Corwin, Cassandra Corwin, Koy (Carolyn) Corwin, Ray Corwin, Michael Corwin, Jacob Corwin, Kelly Corwin, Laura Pinson, Jayleen (uve) Corwin, Zack Corwin, Brooke Corwin, Stone (Katherine) Prechodko, Layne Prechodko, Shanna Prechodko, Mitchel Guenette, Gabrielle (Shawn) Mason, Macy Prechodko, Oliver Prechodko, as well as 17 great-grandchildren and beloved dog, Maggie Mae.

Victor was preceded in death by his loving wife Sandra Corwin, parents Harold Sr. and Charlotte Corwin, brothers Wayne Corwin and Harold Jr. Corwin, sister Mary Nowack, and spoiled pet Yorkie, Ruffus.
