Not sure what to say?

After a talk with Jimmy, Everything felt better. He put your priorities in order. An Aura of confidence and content would fill your soul. I will always miss him. One in a Million.

To say Jimmy Snyder was one of the most influential people in my entire life would be an understatement. Working for Jimmy during my time at the Law Firm taught me invaluable experience and above all else, kindness and compassion. Jimmy was unlike any other I have ever met and the way he touched the lives of so many will keep his memory going strong. I miss him dearly and wish he would have been able to meet my son Finn. I wish his family all the happiness and love in the world and Jimmy...

Jimmy Snyder was one of the most admirable persons we will ever meet, a person to study and consider an example of how to live life. Jimmy gave a lot of meaning to the words faith, hope, and love. His beautifully written obituary says so much in a few paragraphs. He grew up in Lexington, and his life says a lot about his community, his church, his parents who raised him, and his family who loved and cared for him during a long illness. People like Jimmy "don’t come along every day."

Courtney & entire Snyder family, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I pray for your healing, comfort, & reconciliation. The few times I met him, he was such a kind man. Love & hugs,

To the Snyder Family:
It was an honor to know and have spent time with Jim. He had a gift of making you feel what you said was important and really listened during the conversation. He always made time to come see us when we lived in Wilmington, NC. Such a special man of character and a humanitarian. He will be missed. Sending love and to the family.
Love, Chuck, Nancy & Cass

He was a wonderful man and deeply respected. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

Sandra and family, I am so sorry for your loss . Having known Jimmy all his life, I know he was a great man. My prayers are for you at this sad time. We have lost a gentle giant.

Everything written about Mr. Snyder's character, generosity, disposition, integrity and humility were right on point. He did make me feel special and important during my interactions with him. Jimmy, as was my Mother, are what they say, "are the salt of the earth"! I had the opportunity to sit in Jimmy's office and read his book about Tarheels to Deacon journey. He was surprised that I sat there in his office and read the whole book! Meeting Jimmy Snyder was one of the best things about...
