Steven Wayne Cornett, 37, passed away May 17, 2021 at Medical City Hospital in Plano, Texas. He was born with cerebral palsy, May 16, 1984, in Phoenix, Arizona. He resided in Cedar Park, Texas.
Steven overcame his disabilities with a positive attitude and a desire to face any challenge that came his way. He was strong, sensitive, selfless, and a leader and inspiration to many. He had a strong moral ethic and was loved by many.
Steven cared for others more than himself. His last conversation before his passing was with me (sister). He seemed to know his condition and said, “I love you. I need you. I don’t want to lose you. Please forgive me.”
He was known for his extensive work in computers and technology. He was also skilled at math. These interests were inspired by his father at a very young age.
Five days after the passing of his father, Guy Wayne Cornett, Steven fell victim to an automobile accident in Commerce, Texas.
