January 20th 2024, my wife, Cindy and I are certainly sad about Randy Snyder`s death. We had the pleasure of attending Mount Carmel Christian Church in Stone Mountain Georgia while he ministered and taught there.
This photo was taken in July, 2021, at the international convention of Ventriloquists. I am a professional comedy Ventriloquist and Randy and his wife, Annie always were supportive of my family.
Randy Snyder was the most effective and sincere man of God I´ve had the pleasure of knowing. My life is richer for having known him. His ministry at Mount Carmel helped lift that church in a real period of transition. It was an honor to have been asked by Randy to present a short children´s sermon while he was minister at Cross. Hope.
Many times over the 24 years I knew Randy he prayed with me personally and over the telephone when I would encounter crisis in my life. my wife, Cindy Osborne, and I had dinner with Randy and his family a few times.
One time when Randy and Annie were visiting Atlanta for some Christian city business, my father, Sherwood Merchant, my mother, Peggy Merchant, my wife, Cindy, and myself shared a lovely dinner at an Italian restaurant in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Our waiter that night. Let us know he was a Christian, it always seemed that Randy Snyder could recognize fellow followers of our Lord.
I grieve your death, Randy, but I am glad you were no longer, suffering and I know with certainty you´re with God. You did your best, Randy, now take your well-deserved, rest in power!
Thank you for being the best minister I have had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you Annie for being such a great support to a great man. Much love Mark Merchant and Cindy Osborne.

To Annie and family. We are so sad to hear of Randy's passing. It was because of Randy's 5 minute radio spot that led us to Crossview Christian Church in 2008. We stayed for his duration and were Blessed by his teachings. The void of him on Sunday mornings was felt. He is a wonderful, compassionate man of God. Heaven brought home a special man.
In sympathy,
Michael and Barbara Johnson
