Wesley Cornett Obituary

Wesley "Wes" Michael Cornett, 17, of Olivehurst, CA, was born January 23, 2007, and together with his brother, Dru, was lost at Thermalito Afterbay while hunting, due to a sudden severe storm and passed away on December 14, 2024.

Wes was a senior at South Lindhurst High School where he was well-liked by students and teachers for his thoughtfulness and positive attitude.

He was especially interested in plant and animal sciences and had a garden and aquarium at home. His hobbies included fishing and hunting, biking and snowboarding.

Wes was compassionate, friendly, helpful to others, and could be a mellow jokester at times. Wes loved his family and friends, and was especially close to his brother, Dru.

Wes was preceded in death by his father, Andrew L. Cornett,. He is survived by his mother, April Clark; his stepdad, Henry Combs; sisters, Arayah (Angus), Emma (Combs), Brooklyn (Combs), and Riley (Combs); all grandparents; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Wes was loved and respected by all family and friends and will be remembered fondly.

Church services will be held for Wes and Dru at 11 A.M. on February 15, 2025, at the Adventure Church 876 West Onstott Frontage Road, in Yuba City, CA. Funeral services afterward are for the family by invitation only at Sierra View Memorial Park in Olivehurst.
