He worked at Central Texas Iron Works in Waco, where he was project manager. He had worked there for almost 20 years, the Snokhous family said in a statement.
He was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church of the Assumption and the Knights of Columbus West Council No. 2305. He loved hunting and the West Volunteer Fire Department outdoor cook-offs.
He is survived by his wife of 13 years, Alison Snokhous; a son; two daughters; a brother; a si ster; two grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and other relatives.

Truly touch your heart to have two brothers loss their life doing work they love.
1 Cor. 1:9 In fact, we felt within ourselves that we had received the sentence of death. This was that we might have our trust, not in ourselves, but in the God who raises up the dead.
