John "Jared" Snyder

I was fortunate enough to work many years ago at the Attorney General’s Environmental Protection Bureau and didn’t believe that men like him existed. I’m still not sure, but I am certain that he was a kind, respectful and compassionate man who lived his life on purpose and in a way that challenged me to want to become the best version of myself. I’m heartbroken and send my sincerest condolences to his wife, children, family, friends and loved ones. He will be greatly missed!

Dear Cathy, Ethan, Aidan and Caleb,
We are so sorry to learn of Jared’s passing.
We were lucky to know him through our years traveling with our boys during the Black Watch years. We always enjoyed his wise takes on issues of the day and were inspired by his pregame bike rides, no matter the location or weather conditions! We send our love and heartfelt condolences to all of you and hope to join you to honor his life.

Jared, you will be sorely missed by all whose lives you touched and enriched with your warmth, humor, compassion and commitment. It was a privilege to know and work alongside you at the Attorney General’s office and at DEC. My heartfelt condolences to Cathy, Caleb, Aiden, Ethan and the rest of the family.

I served with Jared in the Environmental Enforcement Section of the U.S. Department of Justice and have known him for more than 30 years. He was a tenacious litigator and later a respected leader at NYSDEC and after his retirement a fellow member of the NYLCV board. I admired him as a professional and also as a great X-country skier. We crossed paths a few times at the Garnet Hill X-country ski center in North River. I’m so sorry to hear of his untimely passing and extend my condolences to...

Dear Cathy -- we are so sad to hear of your loss. It was always a treat to see him next door, or at Gore, and occasionally at a Colgate/Cornell hockey game. Please extend our sympathies to your family. Regards,

Dear Cathy, I am so sad to hear of this. What a gift and a joy to have gotten to know him through our boy's soccer clubs. Truly a special man who touched many. My thoughts are with you dear Snyder family.

Dear Cathy, Caleb, Aidan and Ethan. Jared was a great man and a good friend to me during our years together in Buffalo and Boston. I, like everyone in Jared‘s life, was privileged to have known him and to have had so many good times with him.
