Kevin M. Cornine, Sr., age 57, of Hackettstown, New Jersey, passed away Wednesday, April 18, 2024, at Hackettstown Hospital after a short battle of cancer. Kevin was born September 13, 1966, in Newton, NJ to the late David J. Cornine and Virginia (Ward) Cornine. In addition to his parents, Kevin was preceded in death by his sister, Patty Cornine.
Kevin was previously employed by STS Tire & Auto Center in Hackettstown, NJ as an auto mechanic for over 25 years before he began his retirement where he spent his time with his wife, family, and friends. He loved building old cars and attending car shows where he made many friends, most recently volunteering at the Cops N’ Rodders car show in Hackettstown. He was a big family man who would give the shirt off his back if it meant he was helping someone out and always made everyone laugh.
He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Joan Cornine, his son, Kevin Cornine, Jr., and his daughters, Stephanie Jankowski (Cornine) and husband, Andrew Jankowski, and Jessica Glossy. He was especially proud of his two grandchildren, Alivia Cornine and Cameron Jankowski. Kevin leaves behind his brother, David J. Cornine, and wife, Deborah Cornine, and three sisters, Leniece Aber, and husband, Levi Aber, Lisa Weidner (Cornine), Joanne Smith, and husband, Corey Smith. Many nieces, nephews, and cousins also survive him.
A memorial visitation will be held at Cochran Funeral Home, 905 High Street, Hackettstown, NJ, on April 23, 2024, from 4-8 pm. The funeral service will be held at the funeral home on April 24, 2024 at 11 am with burial following at Pequest Union Cemetery, 36 Cemetery Road, Great Meadows, NJ.

April 23, 2024 at 1:54 pmWords cannot express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of such an amazing man. I never had a great relationship with my own father, but knowing Kevin since 7 years old he quickly became an amazing father figure in my life. I’ll never look at Twizzlers without thinking about our Twizzler “fights” or the countless sleepovers Steph and I had as kids. Sometimes I still wish I could run away to Kevins house when life gets tough knowing “dad” would be there. Rest easy <3
