Obituary for John Anthony Corbo, Jr.

John Anthony Corbo, Jr., passed away suddenly of natural causes on October 21st, 2017 in New York City. John was born on December 2nd, 1958 in the Bronx, NY, and spent his childhood in Briarcliff Manor, NY. After graduating with honors from Fordham Prep where he played football and saxophone, he immediately headed to the place he came of age and felt happiest: downtown Manhattan.

After a brief stint in corporate banking, John drove a yellow cab in the wild west of 1980s NYC before starting his Theater career as a wardrobe technician. A proud member of T.W.U Local 764, he worked on Broadway, film, and T.V. productions, including: The Music Man, Barnum, Legs Diamond, On Your Toes, Radio City Music Hall, Malcom X, Guiding Light, Saturday Night Live, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Monk, the Metropolitan Opera, and the American Ballet Theatre. He travelled extensively throughout Europe and the U.S, visiting 47 states with national tours and on his motorcycle. Ravenously curious, philosophical, and boundlessly charming by nature, he always had a witty joke and an assist for his friends. A devoted father, John’s daughter Isabella McKinley Corbo lit up his life. He loved the NY Yankees, exotic cuisines, air guitar, Led Zeppelin, cars, jet skis, and anything that picked up momentum, good Halloween costumes, and dressing for the occasion.


He is predeceased by his father, John Anthony Corbo Sr., and survived by his daughter Isabella; his mother Carmela Turco and stepfather Eugene Sheridan; sister Susan Corbo; brother Andrew Corbo; former partner and forever co-parent Camille McKinley; stepbrother David Sheridan; many dear cousins; and countless close friends. John's fifty-eight full, wild, loving, illustrious years will be celebrated with a Mass at 11 a.m. Saturday, October 28, at Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. Bernard (328 W. 14th St., NYC) directly followed by a memorial from 12-2 at Redden's Funeral Home (325 W. 14th). In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Cover him with love as his energy melts back into the universe. Death is but the next great adventure. He’s on the road.
