Wilbert Jesus Corona Martinez 

May 3, 2007 – April 29, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Wilbert Jesus Corona Martinez, age 17, on April 29, 2025, at Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Wilbert was born on May 3, 2007, at Catawba Valley Medical Center in Hickory, North Carolina, to Jose Luis Corona Cisneros and Maria Isabel Martinez Torres.

Although his time with us was far too short, Wilbert lived a life full of love, dreams, and a deep care for others. He often spoke with excitement about his future and dreamed of working in Alaska on an oil rig. His determination and ambition were clear to everyone who knew him. He was close to finishing school and remained committed to his goals and hopes for the future.

Wilbert had a joyful spirit and a kind, giving heart. He loved playing video games—especially with his youngest brother, Miguel Angel Corona Martinez. The two shared a very special bond, spending countless hours together and creating lasting memories. Wilbert also had a deep affection for animals, especially his parrot Georgie, his chickens, his dog Bruno, and his fish. His love and care for his pets reflected his naturally gentle and compassionate nature.

He was deeply loved by his family, especially his nieces and nephews. He shared a unique connection with each of them and was often the first person they looked for. His genuine love for his family was evident in everything he did, and he was always ready to help anyone in need, no questions asked.

Wilbert is survived by his father, Jose Luis Corona Cisneros, and his mother, Maria Isabel Martinez Torres. He is also survived by his brothers: Jose Luis Corona, who is married to Diana Laura Corona and has two children, Luis Adriel Corona Sanchez and Diana Madeline Corona Sanchez; Omar Corona Martinez, father of Arianna Esperanza Rivera and Malorie Yocelin Corona Soto; Omero Corona Martinez, who is married to Yisel Mora Vieyra; and his youngest brother, Miguel Angel Corona Martinez, with whom Wilbert shared a deep and special bond.

Today, we trust that Wilbert has finally found the peace he was searching for. He is now in God’s hands, surrounded by eternal love, free from the pain he carried in silence. His light lives on in every memory, in every smile he shared, and in every heart he touched.



Wilbert Jesus Corona Martinez 

3 de mayo de 2007 – 29 de abril de 2025

Con profundo dolor anunciamos el fallecimiento de Wilbert Jesus Corona Martinez, de 17 años, el día 29 de abril de 2025 en Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center, en Charlotte, Carolina del Norte. Wilbert nació el 3 de mayo de 2007 en Catawba Valley Medical Center, en Hickory, Carolina del Norte, hijo de Jose Luis Corona Cisneros y Maria Isabel Martinez Torres.

Aunque su tiempo con nosotros fue demasiado corto, Wilbert vivió una vida llena de amor, sueños y un profundo cuidado por los demás. Hablaba con entusiasmo sobre su futuro y soñaba con trabajar en Alaska en una plataforma petrolera. Su determinación y ambición eran evidentes para todos los que lo conocían. Estaba cerca de terminar la escuela y se mantenía firme en sus metas y sueños.

Wilbert tenía un espíritu alegre y un corazón bondadoso y generoso. Le encantaba jugar videojuegos, especialmente con su hermano menor, Miguel Angel Corona Martinez. Ambos compartían un vínculo muy especial, pasando incontables horas juntos y creando recuerdos inolvidables. Wilbert también sentía un gran cariño por los animales, especialmente por su loro Georgie, sus gallinas, su perro Bruno y sus peces. Su amor y cuidado por sus mascotas reflejaban su naturaleza tierna y compasiva.

Era profundamente querido por su familia, especialmente por sus sobrinos y sobrinas. Compartía una conexión única con cada uno de ellos y a menudo era la primera persona que buscaban. Su amor genuino por su familia se reflejaba en cada acción, y siempre estaba dispuesto a ayudar a quien lo necesitara, sin hacer preguntas.

A Wilbert le sobreviven su padre, Jose Luis Corona Cisneros, y su madre, Maria Isabel Martinez Torres. También le sobreviven sus hermanos: Jose Luis Corona, casado con Diana Laura Corona, con quienes tuvo dos hijos, Luis Adriel Corona Sanchez y Diana Madeline Corona Sanchez; Omar Corona Martinez, padre de Arianna Esperanza Rivera y Malorie Yocelin Corona Soto; Omero Corona Martinez, casado con Yisel Mora Vieyra; y su hermano menor, Miguel Angel Corona Martinez, con quien compartía un lazo profundo y especial.

Hoy confiamos en que Wilbert ha encontrado por fin la paz que tanto buscaba. Ahora está en las manos de Dios, rodeado de amor eterno y libre del dolor que llevaba en silencio. Su luz vive en cada recuerdo, en cada sonrisa que compartió y en cada corazón que tocó.
