Michael William Korber

Michael William Korber, born on December 9, 1957, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, passed away on January 15, 2025, in his hometown. A dedicated member of his community, Mike served the State of Wyoming Public Service Commission for 25 years and was also a business owner and tax preparer for several years.

An alumnus of the University of Wyoming, Mike was a man with a wealth of knowledge, particularly in the world of sports. His passion for athletics was matched only by his selflessness, as he dedicated many years to coaching youth baseball in Cheyenne. This commitment to nurturing young talent was a hallmark of his character, and it showcased his dedication to helping others succeed. Those fortunate enough to know him remember a man who was always willing to lend a hand and provide support.

Mike treasured the moments spent with his family, creating lasting memories that they will forever cherish. He was a passionate sports fan, deeply invested in teams such as the University of Wyoming Cowboys, the Boston Red Sox, and local favorites like the Colorado Rockies, Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, and Colorado Avalanche. Attending live sporting events with his family brought him immense joy, and these occasions will be joyfully remembered by those who shared them with him.

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Mike's community involvement extended beyond coaching; he served many years on the Board of the Cheyenne Junior League, further demonstrating his commitment to local youth and families. As a tax preparer, he went above and beyond for his clients, and will be particularly remembered for his late night phone calls to them with ideas on how they can save, and what steps they will need to take. He was exceptional at what he did, and he did it with the utmost integrity. 

Michael is survived by his daughter Kelsey Korber and son-in-law CJ Williams, son Bryant Korber, and grandchildren Treyson, Kyren, and Kinleigh. He is also remembered by his brother Rob Korber and sister Mary Mason. Preceding him in death were his parents, William B. Korber and Evelyn F. Korber.

A prayer service will be held in honor of Mike on January 23, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Wiederspahn-Radomsky Chapel of the Chimes in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Mike Korber will forever hold a special place in the hearts of his family and friends. His legacy of love, support, and commitment to community will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Family and Friends who would like to donate in Mike’s honor can contribute to Cheyenne Junior League, VFW, or the University of Wyoming Athletic Department.
