Daryl Cornman Obituary
He was born in Erie on March 6, 2006, the son of Emily and Derek Wetherbee and Jon and Amber Cornman, brother to Derek Fisher, Sianna, Chelsey and Jonathan Cornman.
DJ was a free spirit who was full of energy. DJ thrived on the attention from those immediately around him and strove to be a source of entertainment and laughter. Protective of those around him to a fault, DJ would unselfishly put himself at risk if it could assure the safety and welfare of others. Wise beyond his years, at his tender age of 13, although he did enjoy biking, playing music, dancing, and playing Fortnite. DJ possessed a keen awareness of the fallacies of humankind and our many shortfalls. His empathy for others, was surpassed only by the love in his overfull heart that he kept guarded and well hidden from most.
DJs' imagination fed his creativity. He was very artistic, he loved to paint and draw. He was bound only by that which he did not know. DJ was always starving for knowledge with hopes to improve everything around him. As fate would have it, too few of us recognize or appreciate what we have until we lose it, as DJ was a gift. Let us cherish the memories we were privileged to share with him and honor him by celebrating his life.
DJ was preceded in death by his grandfather, Frank Cornman, aunt, Melanie Cornman, great-grandfather, Calvin Renwick, Sr., great-uncle, Calvin Renwick, Jr., and great-great-uncle, Chuck Renwick.
Along with his parents and siblings, DJ is survived by his grandparents, Darrell and Cathy Fisher, Nadine Cornman and Jon Olsen, Donna and Robert Vanwie, and Robert Wagner. Many aunts, uncles, and cousins also survive.
Friends are invited to celebrate the life of DJ on Tuesday at the Kloecker Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., from 5 p.m. until the time of the service at 7 p.m. Send condolences to www.kloeckerfuneralhome.com.
Burial will be private.
Donations may be made to the Kloecker Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc. 2502 Sassafras Street Erie, PA 16502 to help with the funeral expenses.

The past month has been so hard for me. I miss him so much. Yes we met 2 years ago but in those 2 years we got really close and then finding out we were blood cousins made us even closer. He was such a loving sweet boy that was taken from us way too soon. Dj I love you and miss you so much♥ #DJNATION ~Hailee Anderson

My name is Clifford Bibbs Jr. I was one of his friends, We played at the Trinity Center Program together. He was funny, he was a stand up comedian! Always knew how to make someone laugh, the staff and kids loved him. But it's heart braking to wake up one morning and see your friend you grew up with to be deceased! My condolences goes out to his family and friends! RIP❤!

Dear Conman Family, I am so very sorry for the loss of DJ. My memory of him is so vivid as he walked into Sunday School with his sisters. His curious eyes turned into a hundred questions. Each time he came there was an atmosphere of sheer delight and always a hug and a kiss with a big I love you Miss Judi. Whenever I would be in the church yard and he'd ride by on his bike he would always stop, drop his bike and barrel over to me with a hug. All children I ever taught are written in the back of my Bible. I will never forget this sweet boy.
