Martin "Beau" Korson

KORSON, Martin (Beau) Jeremy - 43, was surrounded by his loving family as he peacefully went home to be with his Savior, Wednesday, February 20, 2019. Martin, affectionately known as Beau, was born in Traverse City, Michigan, to Martin and Phyllis (Newman) Korson on March 29, 1975. Beau was raised on the family farm in Suttons Bay, Michigan, where he lived until he went to college. He graduated from Lake Superior State University, in 1998, with a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering, and he worked much of his career in drafting. Beau married Christina Soon-Ae Morrison on August 10, 2002, and relocated to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Beau and Christina have two beautiful daughters, Maddy and Ella. If you knew Beau, you loved him. He was passionate about investing in people. Whether Beau was chatting with someone at a local coffee shop, helping at his daughters' school or getting involved in a community project, Beau cared about people and it showed in the relationships he developed. Beau was also passionate about photography and mountain biking. His collection of Polaroid cameras has more cameras in it than one can count! When mountain biking he loved trying new trails and frequently participated in bike races. He also assembled bikes at the bike shop in town. Beau was a board member, actor, and stage manager, for the Chippewa Theatre Guild. He was an active member of St. Joseph's Parish in Sault Ste. Marie and a member of the Rotary Club. He loved the outdoors, camping with his family and friends, travel, and woodworking. However, what Beau loved most of all, and what he would say was his greatest accomplishment, was being a husband and a dad. Beau was a kind, gentle, caring man who had a great sense of humor. The last few years he nobly and courageously fought his cancer diagnosis with little complaining. In his last days he was comforted in his belief that for those who know Christ it is not goodbye forever, but rather see you later! Beau is preceded in death by a brother Joel Korson. He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Christina Korson and two daughters, Madeline Reese Korson and Ella Morrison Korson. He is also survived by his parents, Martin and Phyllis Korson; three siblings, Lara (Joel) Sweitzer, Timothy (Jen Evans) Korson, and Katherine (Chris) Ready; 6 nephews and 3 nieces, Kaitlin (Zach), Benjamin, Aaron, Andrew, Alayna, William, Louis, Katerina, and Victor.
