Corbin was a friend of mine in elementary school. To this day I remember great times playing at his house in Savannah. Reading the guest book, I'm can see others were touched positively as I was by Corbin as he grew beyond elementary school. My love to the Dunn family.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Corbin. I only had the pleasure of meeting him twice at Edelman Conferences, but he made quite an impact on me. He had a great sense of humor and left a trail of smiles wherever he went. We will miss him and will keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Dunn, Michelle, Bryant and family, I wanted to share my deepest condolences to you on the loss of sweet Corbin. I had the pleasure to have known him in college at UGA and to have had the honor of dating him after college for a brief period. He was a complete southern gentlemen, the funniest guy, loved to cook, enjoyed a good Cabernet, was introspective and analytical,great conversationalist and had a heart of gold. He was a great friend. Through the years I lost touch with him, but always heard of his successes through friends and was deeply saddened to have heard of his loss this past week. Please know your family is in my prayers. God took him too soon and it is very sad. I am saddened but find solace in the fact he is no longer in pain, and know he would want everyone to raise a glass in his honor as he sips his Cabernet in heaven smiling down. With deepest sympathies, Tania M. Gizelar

Corbin was one of my dearest friends in college. He had a sly Wit that kept us all laughing. He remained my dear friend after college, even dating my younger sister and joining my family in Birmingham (AL) one year for Christmas. The whole world has lost one heck of a guy!

Corbin was a great man and a superb humorist. I got to know him only in the past few years but had memorable festivities with him both here in Savannah and at Greune Hall in New Bronfels, Texas, where we ate barbecue and then drank Lone Stars at a Ray Wiley Hubbard concert and thereafter danced with and otherwise entertained a group of young ladies down from Austin. He was much loved and will be much missed. My most sincere condolences to his family and many, many close friends.
