Spencer Harrison Curt Cornelis

October 18, 2022

In loving memory of Spencer Harrison Curt Cornelis who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 20.  He was the adored only child of Kerry Osborne and Richard Cornelis. Missed dearly by heartbroken Marzena Gorska. Cherished grandson of Candace and Curt Osborne and Trucy and Gerard Cornelis. He is also survived by his uncle Kori Osborne (Susie), Rob Cornelis (Stacey), Noella (Carl), Gary (Heather) and Marilyn. Spencer will be sadly missed by many cousins and his family both here and in Belgium, whom he visited over the years. Spencer lived his life in a quiet and humble way. He was an excellent student graduating high school as an Ontario Scholar.

Spencer was ambitious and a hard worker. In addition to being enrolled at the University of Western Ontario, he also recently received his real estate license. He enjoyed sports especially hockey and spent many hours on the rink and on the road heading to games all over southwest Ontario. One of his proudest achievements was being selected as a defenseman for the London Junior Knights. Spencer also enjoyed swimming, shooting hoops, playing badminton and working out regularly at the gym. He had many summer jobs, including working with residents at Richmond Woods seniors home. He had the kindest way, the softest heart and wished hurt to no one. We pray our little Toqu can rest now, at peace.

A gathering of love will be held on Saturday, November 26, 2022, from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at the West Haven Golf and Country Club, 7038 Egremont Drive, London. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in memory of Spencer are asked to consider a charity of your choice.

Dearest Spence,
With all our hearts, we will not forget about you.
