Remembering Corzelius

A life held close in memory

Corzelius Mikiyo Kent was a young man from the St. Louis area whose life reflected the promise and everyday connections of someone still building their future. At 22, Corzelius was known in public records as a member of the Ferguson/St. Louis community; though formal obituary notices have not been located, public reports confirm he was a person with family and a life in the region.

On November 9, 2020, Corzelius died in Ferguson, Missouri. That loss was recorded by local law-enforcement and investigative authorities, and it was widely noted by community memorial projects that document lives lost to gun violence. While details about his personal interests, employment, or schooling are not available in the public memorials located, the record that remains is of a young life with people who cared for him and whose grief followed.

Because published family obituaries or funeral-home notices matching his name and the exact date of death were not found in available searches, we respect the privacy of relatives and the limits of the public record. What can be said with certainty is that Corzelius was a 22‑year‑old whose passing on November 9, 2020, left loved ones and a community to mourn. That fact invites reflection on the person behind the headlines: a neighbor, relative, friend — a life with hopes and relationships that mattered.

This remembrance honors Corzelius by centering his personhood rather than the circumstances of his death. Even when public details are sparse, the loss of a 22‑year‑old is a profound human sorrow. May memory hold whatever warmth, laughter, routines, and ties he shared with those who knew him, and may his family find strength and comfort in the company of friends and community who carry his memory forward.
