I knew Cornell. I hoped his return to Las Vegas from Gardnerville would yield happiness and success. He was well liked here and will be missed.

Cornell was like a big brother to me. he always looked out for me and took care of me. he will be missed by me and my family, i loved him more than most will know. I worked with him for a year and knew him the entire time he spent in northern nevada. i wish he woulda stayed… maybe it woulda saved him from this tragic death. if anyone knows of a service for him please contact me at SarahC2219@yahoo.com. if there isnt a service please let me know how i can get his remains or just a small amount of his ashes. he means more to me than most will ever know. anyone with information please let me know where to start. i love him with all my heart. he was truly family that i never had. thank you. you are loved and missed baby!i love you

Me and cornell hung real tight way before any of the things happened that changed his life I had so much love for him and wished we could have continued to grow together things where realy messed up for him early on and he seemed to always be on the bad end of cituations that involved the police due to the choices we would make over the years we grew apart mostly due to my doing and when he came back to vegas I heard he was doing realy well and wanted to just look at my older friend to see if he had changed much I kept telling myself we would run into each other at a store or some other place but it never happened and when I recieved news of his death it shook me I can’t say that I knew the man Cornell but as kids me and him where down like four flat tires on a caddi I wish I wasn’t typing this about him I wish he never would have come back to vegas and I wish that he is in a better place than he ever was here. Awol

I am trying to find any family Cornell had in Las Vegas or elsewhere, but the detective in charge of this case will not return my phone calls. Anyone who can help please email me at rydney@gmail.com Thank you.

For some reason my last comment was deleted. I am sorry if it bothers someone that the detective in charge of this case does not feel the need to return phone calls. His laziness is not my problem, getting in touch with Cornell’s next of kin is. If anyone knows of, or if Cornell’s family reads this, please email me, thank you.
