Kenneth Cornwell Obituary

Kenneth Cornwell Jr. passed away in his home in Manassas, Virginia, on October 9, 2023. He is survived by his family: sons Kenneth Cornwell III and wife Katelyn Cornwell, Justin Cornwell, and wife Breann Mumaw; his five grandchildren Kiersten Kidwell, Kolton Cornwell, Addison Cornwell, Kayson Cornwell, and Harlynn Cornwell; and his brother Wayne Michael Cornwell.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents, Dixie Cornwell and Kenneth Cornwell Sr., and his youngest brother Rodney Cornwell.

Kenneth, also known as (big) Kenny, Ken, and Papa Ken, is remembered as a loyal Washington Redskins fan, a great little league football and basketball coach, and an outgoing friend to many in the Manassas community. He was a lifelong Manassas resident, graduating in 1980 from Osbourn Park High School. He went on to work for NOVEC for 15 years before opening and operating his Home Inspection business.

A memorial service celebrating Ken's life will be held on Monday, October 30, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. at the Manassas Church of Christ, 8110 Signal Hill Road, Manassas, VA. A gathering for friends and family will immediately follow at the City Tavern Grille, 9550 Center, Manassas.
