Charles “Charlie” William Corbitt, Jr. passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at home surrounded by his family. He was born on October 31, 1933, in Saline, Louisiana, to the late Charles W. Corbitt, Sr. and Evie Hood Corbitt. He graduated from Saline High School in 1952. Charlie married the love of his life, Gladys “G” Babers Corbitt, and together they moved to Baton Rouge, where they raised their family.

Charlie proudly served his country in the United States Army as a Military Police officer from 1955 to 1963. He then began his long and respected career working for Turner Industries Group in 1973 until his retirement. He made such an impact and earned respect from all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

He was a proud father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He had a deep love for his family and took great pride in the home he and his wife built together. He loved the outdoors, always working in his garden and keeping his yard perfectly manicured. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping. He was a long-time member of Mud Creek Hunting Club, where he made lasting memories. He also loved football and baseball, especially LSU and the Saints.

He will be remembered for his unwavering faith, love for his family, and the quiet strength he carried throughout his life. His legacy of service, hard work, and devotion will live on through those who loved him.
