On April 28, 2024, the world said goodbye to Cornelius Williams of Chicago, Illinois. Born on August 12, 1980, Cornelius lived a life filled with laughter, love, and a few too many hot dogs at Wrigley Field.

Cornelius was known for his quick wit, infectious smile, and his uncanny ability to always find the best deals at garage sales. He had a passion for cheering on the Chicago Cubs, even during their darkest seasons, and was always up for a game of pick-up basketball at the local park.

Although Cornelius didn't have any children of his own, he was a beloved uncle to his many nieces and nephews, who will always remember his playful spirit and endless supply of ice cream sandwiches.

In his free time, Cornelius could often be found grilling up a storm in his backyard, perfecting his famous BBQ ribs recipe. His friends and neighbors will miss the aroma of smoked meat wafting through the air on summer afternoons.

While Cornelius may no longer be with us, his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Rest in peace, Cornelius, and may your eternal spirit continue to bring joy to those on the other side.
