MICHAEL SNYDER

Beth, I am so sorry to hear about Mikes passing. I saw Steve S. today and I told him I saw you at Waterpolo a few weeks ago and he told me. I had no idea. Your husband was such a nice person. I wish you and your daughters well. Cynthia Scharton

His daughters were very lucky to have him as a father. I didn't know him personally, but I used to see him at many of the swim meets his daughters competed in. I've always paid attention to the Snyder family, as they always had a reputation for being fast and hard working athletes. I remember the eldest daughter, Sarah, as a 10 year old winning races with this huge, tough-looking father in sun glasses screaming his head off in joy as he cheered her on. When the middle daughter, Caitlyn,...

Every day that goes by I think of you. I miss you so much Snyder!! Every time I wanna give up, I hear your voice in my head. "What are you doing champ? You're more than this." You've always encouraged me to believe in myself... just the way you did. I never got to tell you in person, but I got accepted to CSU Monterey Bay. Thank you. Without your support, encouragement, and belief in me, it wouldn't have been done. In a few weeks I'll be moving into my dorms there at CSUMB. But I'm scared....

I remember the energetic, eccentric Mike. He always was the teacher, coach, leader, and father that leaded a life of empathy and understanding.
You will be missed big guy. You left behind great memories and greater kids. I honestly can not think of a moment that Papa didn't live up to his great reputation.
Much love to the Snyder family. God bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family

I am so sad today, I went to high school with Mike. He is a great guy. I will remember him so fondly, rest in peace Mike.

Mrs. Snyder, Sarah, Caitlyn & Julianne ~
My family and I have each of you in our daily thoughts and prayers.

Coach Snyder...you were the best! God bless you and your family.
