Obituary published on Legacy.com by Arner Funeral Chapel - Chester on Jul. 16, 2024.
Michael "Mike" Cornell, 62, of Chester, passed away peacefully at home, on Friday, July 12, 2024, at his residence.
Born, on August 10, 1961, in East Liverpool, he was the son of the late Thomas Cornell and Rebecca Smith Bebout.
Mike was a graduate of Oak Glen High School Class of 1979. Mike was a veteran of the United States Air Force. He formerly worked as a Steel Worker.
Since a child he has collected and enjoyed Marvel comics, Spider-Man was his favorite. In his spare time, he would be in the woods either hunting or fishing. He watched every Marvel movie and didn't mind watching them on repeat. Mike enjoyed watching football and was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Family meant the world to him, and he cherished those relationships, memories, and fun times with them all.
He will be deeply missed by his daughters, Dana Thel (Joshua Beagle) Daybrook, WV. and Samantha Cornell (Seth Barnhart) of New Cumberland; grandchildren, Christian, Grant and Alaina; brother, Jerry Cornell and sister, Tonya Bebout. He will also be missed by his dog- faithful friend, Jake.
A memorial visitation will be held Wednesday, July 24, 2024, from 5:00 PM-7:00 PM.
