Laird K. Snyder, age 72, of Falls Creek, PA, went to be with the Lord on Friday, March 22, 2019, while in the comfort of his home.
He was born April 1, 1946 in Washington Twp., Jefferson County, PA, to the late Paul E. and Mary A. (Faith) Snyder. On September 20, 1969, he married Karen (Fillhart) Snyder; she survives him.
Laird was an active member of the Falls Creek Presbyterian where he served as an Elder. He was also a member of the American Legion, Post 0017 and the of Military Veterans Outdoors. He served with the United States Army and was a Staff Sargent from 1966 – 1981. He served for fifty-eight as a fireman with the Falls Creek Fire Department, with nine of those years as Fire Chief. Laird was also a member of the Handgunners Club.
For over twenty years he owned and operated L & K Enterprises. He then went to work for various propane companies and eventually retired from Moore Propane Co., LLC, in Falls Creek, PA.
Laird loved the outdoors, specifically hunting, fishing, going to camp, and riding his four-wheelers. Above all else, Laird loved his family.
In addition to his wife Karen, Laird is survived by one son, Keith Snyder and his granddaughter, Emilee; he loved them both so much. He made sure to always tell Emilee that he "loved her to the moon and back honey!" He is also survived by his godson, Bernard P. Snyder Jr.
Laird was the last surviving member of his immediate family and in addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by four brothers: Bernard P. Snyder, William W. Snyder, Donald E. Snyder, Richard Snyder; one sister, Joann Ritter; brother-in-law, Harry E. Hetrick; and father-in-law, Harold Fillhart.
Family and friends will be received on Wednesday, March 27, 2019, from 12 noon – 2 p.m., at the Snyder – d'Argy Funeral Home, 206 E. Main St., Reynoldsville PA, 15851. A funeral service will immediately follow the viewing, beginning at 2 p.m., and officiated by Pastor Jim Fillhart.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
