He was a graduate of Marin Catholic High School and St. Patrick’s grammar school in Larkspur. He was a member of the California Alpine Club and had served as chairman of the club’s youth committee.

Surviving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Cornell of Larkspur, and a brother, Brian, a student at California Polytechnic Institute.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be said at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at St. Patrick’s Church.
