Christopher Cornish Obituary
Born on December 4, 1973, in Syracuse, New York, Christopher was a loving husband to Kerri Leigh-Cornish and a caring father to his sons, Nathan and Tyler. He is also survived by his parents, Mary and Michael Cornish, his sister Nikki, and many other family members.
Christopher will be remembered for his easygoing and friendly nature, as well as his passion for creativity. He was an avid skateboarder, moviegoer, a lover of music, concerts, video games, and was always improving and excelling at his 3D printing projects. His love of coffee, hot sauce, pickles, and pizza (not necessarily all at once or in that order) will be remembered with a smile.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Lustgarten Foundation for pancreatic cancer research (https://lustgarten.org/).
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.

I grew up living next door to Chris on Galileo Circle, Bridgeport NY. Chris was a great kid, I remember his dad teaching him how to ride his bike. Chris moved to Florida with his parents and then we were facebook friends. Rest in peace my friend.

My first memory of Chris was at his first birthday party I moved away from Bridgeport for several years but when I moved back me and Chris became great friends and skateboarding brought us together and he was always smiling and positive a few years ago I had the pleasure of hanging with him in Chicago for a few days we had a great time he will be forever missed

I met Chris in a FB group for skateboard collectors. Chris made the most amazing 3D displays of iconic skateboard graphics from the 80s. We were all there with him through his fight and our community lost a real one. Universally loved by anyone who came in contact with him. He left an impression with all of us, not just with his amazing art we all have in our collections, but with his kindness and his spirt. RIP bud...hope you're shedding wherever you are.
