Cornelius Martez

Spearman

Cornelius Martez "TP" Spearman, 36, of Tupelo, Mississippi, formerly of Grenada, Mississippi, gained his wings on October 1, 2025, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He was born on July 6, 1989, to Wade and Ruthie Spearman, who both survive him.

Cornelius worked for Arenego Analco Water Company in Blue Springs, Mississippi, and was known for his strong work ethic and joyful spirit. Outside of work, he loved spending time with his family and friends and had a deep passion for fast cars. TP was the life of any gathering, always ready with a joke, a smile, and a way to lift your mood no matter what you were going through. He never met a stranger and touched countless lives with his kindness, humor, and big heart.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Zora Lee Seals and Mary Jenkins; and by his grandfathers, Lonnie Seals and Wade Spearman, Sr.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his beloved son, Coreyun Martez Spearman; devoted sisters, ShaWanda Spearman and Lakita Stokes; cherished nieces and nephews, Zakevion Spearman, Zaniya Spearman, Kevarious Harges, and Jakeddrick Robinson; and a host of other loving family members and friends who will forever remember his laughter and light.
