Creyson KennDale Cornelius

Kanarraville, UT - Creyson KennDale Cornelius, 19, passed away on July 4, 2024, in Zion, Utah doing what he loved. Crey was born August 7, 2004 in St. George, Utah to Tyler and Jami Cornelius. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and had a strong testimony of his Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. Surrounded by dirt roads, green fields, and red hills, Kanarra was the perfect vessel of adventure for Crey. He loved to explore and he preferred to do it on two wheels. He was all gas and no brakes. When Crey wasn’t working, he was on some adventure. Whether it was climbing a tree, navigating a trail with his mountain bike, or practicing his wheelies on his dirt bike. The last few months he spent a majority his time riding his bullet bike with his friends by his side. Crey was known for his smile. He had the biggest, most tender heart and gentle soul. He gave selflessly to people around him and never expected anything in return. Helping family, friends, neighbors and strangers was just part of his normal routine. Giggles and laughter was the soundtrack that would play whenever you were with Crey. Crey graduated from Southwest Education Academy in May of 2022. He began his first job at Steve’s Shell working alongside family and friends. He worked there for three years, where he developed and honed his skills as a mechanic. His ambition recently led him to acquire a job as a diesel and heavy equipment mechanic for Southern Utah Grade & Pave. He was excited for this new adventure and expanding his talent as a mechanic. All of his employers and co- workers not only complimented his work ethic, but were surprised at his level of skillset and ability. Crey is survived by his parents, Tyler and Jami Cornelius, siblings Tylie (Logan) Rowland, and Wesden Cornelius of Kanarraville, niece, Brexley Rowland, grandparents, Curtis and Connie Berry, James Dale and Marge Cornelius, great grandma Ramona Marshall, aunts and uncles Clifton Bryce (Angela) Berry, Sheena (Sheridan) Chamberlain, Devin (Rianne) Berry, Tonya (Danny) Stratton, James Vance (Melissa) Cornelius, Michael (RaeLynn) Cornelius, Danny (Cristina) Cornelius, and Jessie (Brandon) Adams, as well as many cousins and great aunts and uncles and friends. Crey was preceded in death by his grandma Lorraine Cornelius, and his dog, Gunner. The family would like to extend a warm thank you to all the individuals that were with Crey in his last moments. They take great comfort in the fact that he was well cared for. The family would also like to express their gratitude for all the prayers, love, and support from friends and family.
