Mr. Snyder was born March 8, 1974, in Anchorage. He was a high school graduate and had finished one year of college. He attended churches of many denominations, but foremost was his love of God.

Even with a life that was not easy for him, he was successful in a way that most people would hope to be. Although he will be missed, it is more important to remember the lives he touched and not forget each other in his passing.''
