Cornelius Hill Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A lover of all things music and sports, he could turn any conversation into a debate, a joke, or a story you'd remember forever. That was part of his magic. Fluent in hustle, resilience, and sarcasm, slick talking was one of his love languages. If he cared about you, you knew it. And if he didn't, you knew it, too.
Kiwi was sharp, but one word to describe him most was solid. He stood firm in his choices, right, wrong, or indifferent. That's who made him who he was, and who we all loved.
Cornelius transitioned on November 9, 2025, in Charleston, West Virginia. He will be remembered as a man who lived boldly, loved deeply, and protected fiercely. Though his presence was strong, his absence will be felt even stronger, and truly missed.
He leaves behind a tight circle of family, loved ones, and friends who will miss him dearly, but carry him, and remember him in all the ways that matter.
