John Wendell Snyder Sr.

John Snyder, age 76, went to be with his Lord Tuesday, May 3, 2022. He was preceded in death by his parents Alvin and Margaret Snyder; brother, Alvin Snyder Jr.; sisters Sandra Aliff and Elizabeth Shane; beloved son, John Snyder Jr.

He will be lovingly remembered by his children and grandchildren Lisa Arnold (Daniel III, Rachel), Lori and Karl Veldheer (Michael, Taylor, Evan, Aaron, Dylan, Shane, Mason), Julie Cramer and Cliff Dayton (Cody, Camille); nieces, nephews and many special friends.

John was raised in Wyoming, Michigan, and graduated from Godwin High School, class of 1964, where he lettered in baseball and continued playing even after starting a family. He enjoyed many years watching and coaching his children in little league. John was an avid golfer, loved playing cards, riding motorcycles, and was always up for a good party with friends. He was a proud union member of Heat & Frost Insulators Local 47 for over 50 years. But John would say his greatest accomplishment was his four children and seven grandchildren who are all deeply saddened by the loss of their father and grandfather.

Visitation with John’s family and friends will be held from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Monday, May 9, 2022 at Cook Memorial Chapel (East Building). A celebration of life for John will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at Cook Memorial Chapel, 4235 Prairie St. SW, Grandville. There will be an hour visitation prior to the service.

In honor of John and in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Children’s Miracle Network. The family welcomes memories and messages in their guest book online at www.cookcaresgrandville.com.
