Jack Corder

Jack Corder, 74, of Circleville, Ohio passed away at his home following an extended illness surrounded by family on December 16, 2021.  Jack was born on December 10, 1948 in Wayland, KY to Elliott and Maude (Triplett) Corder.  He was preceded in death by his parents; brother Charles and sister Louise Durphey.  Jack is survived by his wife of 26 years Carolyn (Diehl) Corder; children Jack, Charles; step-children Kimberly (Brian) Dum, Benjamin Diehl and grandchildren Brandi Corder, Mason Dum, Carson Dum, Lilyann Dum and Branson Dum.  Jack earned his business degree from Ohio University.  He retired from Kenworth Truck Company in 2007 following 33 years of service.  Jack was an engineer, a builder, and had a skill to repair all things mechanical.  His passions were his farm, where he meticulously cared for land and home.  He enjoyed building classic muscle cars and traveling the world.  Jack was a man of few words and a great teacher who led by demonstration.  He inspired each of us by holding himself and those around him to the highest standards.  An informal gathering for family and friends will be held at the family farm on Monday, December 20, 2021 from 1-4 p.m. with a celebration of life at 4:00 p.m., where we will be dedicating a tree in memory of Jack.  Carolyn and the family would like to extend thanks and praise to the community of friends and neighbors that supported our family through the past years.  We are especially grateful to Alice Mumaw, who stood beside us through the entire journey.  In lieu of flowers, we request that you also plant a tree in memory of Jack or a dear loved one at a place of your choosing.  Online condolences can be made to www.wellmanfuneralhomes.com.
