Brenton Cornwell Obituary
Brenton Daniel Cornwell, 42, of Bel Air, Maryland, passed away Monday, February 23, 2026. Born September 28, 1983, in Findlay, Brent brought joy and laughter to those around him throughout his life.
Brent was a devoted husband to his wife, Carrie (Craig) Cornwell, and a loving father to their four children, William, Hadlee, Eberly, and Rayna. A proud foster and adoptive parent, he cherished the time spent with his family playing board games and video games and baking cookies for the holidays.
Brent was an avid online gamer, where he formed friendships and enjoyed being part of the community. He was also an important member of his work community, proudly employed as a Direct Mailing Analyst with R. R. Donnelley.
He was the beloved son of William D. Cornwell III and Carol (Eberly) Cornwell and a caring brother to his sister Erin (Cornwell) Gartner. Brent will be remembered for his humor, kind heart, and fun spirit. His memory will continue to bring comfort to those who loved him.
