Funeral services will be held at 6:00 PM on Thursday, October 29, 2020 at Hathorn Funeral Home in Columbia for Corbett Wayne Ardis, 67, of Columbia, who passed away Monday, October 26, 2020. Visitation will be held from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM on Thursday, October 29, 2020 at Hathorn Funeral Home.

As a longtime resident of Columbia, Mr. Corbett, or "C.J" as most would call him, absolutely loved spending time with his family. He had a passion for cars, which was evidenced by the amount of time he spent rebuilding cars and helping many in the community with their automotive issues. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. Since he could play anything with a string on it, his children and grandchildren recall the many late nights C.J. spent playing music with them. Another of his many talents included wood carving. He carved houses, cars, churches, instruments, and many other things. C.J. will be greatly missed by his family and all that knew him.

Mr. Ardis was preceded in death by his Father, Victor Ardis; and three Brothers, James Victor Ardis, Victor "Buddy" Ardis, and Dennis Ray Ardis.

He is survived by his Wife of 49 years, Jan Ardis; his Mother, Betty Ardis; one Daughter, Joycelyn K. Ardis; two sons, Corbett W. Ardis II (Benchawan), Anthony Wayne Ardis; his "unofficially" adopted Son, James Broom; one Sister, Ellen Goldman (Toma); two Brothers, Faren Ardis (Cindy), Cornell Tannehill; twelve Grandchildren; and nine Great-Grandchildren.
