Obituary

Peter Alexander Korbakes, 63, passed away at home in Kalona Iowa after a courageous fight with cancer on 1/23/2025.

Pete was born in Chicago Illinois on May 8th 1961 to Pete and Joan Korbakes. The family moved to San Diego, California where Pete graduated high school. His career in sales took him to Austin, Texas in his late 20s. He started and ran his own business, Local Leads LLC for years. Then for the past 9 years he work for Insight, where he had many friends and colleagues. He came to Iowa and for the past 5 years was able to work from home.

In Austin, Pete raised the absolute joys of his life, his two children, Kasey and Jake. He was so proud of them both. Kasey's passion for art and Jake's prowess in basketball and coach. And their kind-hearted personalities. His three passions in life were his children, politics and sports. He was well informed in a broad sense and was a font of information.

Pete is survived by his children, Kasey and Jake Korbakes and his sister Mary Cook. Many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Jamie Korbakes and nephews Daniel Lovett and Doulas Cook.

A private celebration of life will be held in the spring.

Condolences can be sent in c/o Mary Cook PO Box 152, Kalona Iowa 52247, and will be distributed to the individual family members.
