The Reverend Chaplain Keith Stokes Snyder II entered eternity on April 15, 2021. He is survived by his wife, Reverend Margaret Motte Snyder, his sons, Keith Stokes Snyder III, wife Cassie Snyder, and Robert David Snyder, wife Sherie Snyder, his daughter Kathryn Motte Barry, and four granddaughters, Eleanor Ruth Snyder, Abigail Louise Snyder, Susiane Margaret Snyder, and Ruth Grace Snyder. Chaplain Stokes, as he was called by many at St. Tammany Hospital, as a Trauma Chaplain, was there for 15 years. Before he was a church pastor, fire department chaplain, and marched arm in arm with Martin Luther King, Jr., as a civil rights advocate in Hawaii. He remained true to his beloved United Church of Christ, ordained for over 40 years of ministry. Truly, he was God’s servant with an intelligence, wit, compassion, and love for others. We grieve, but know he is in a joy that we can’t even understand. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a Memorial Service on Saturday morning, July 24, 2021 at 11:00. Visitation will begin at 10:00, and a reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory to the St. Tammany Hospital Foundation are preferred. An online guestbook is available at www.gracenorthshore.com.
