Beloved son of Sharon Rosenberg and Alan Snyder. Dear brother of Jared Snyder. Beloved grandson of Donna and Alan Rosenberg, Harriet Snyder, and the late Michael Snyder and the late Teresa Whitesell-Snyder. Dear nephew, cousin and friend.
Ryan was a business student at the University of Georgia. In high school, he played basketball and volleyball, and also wrestled. He was a member of National Honor Society. He loved movies, poker, sports, and nature. He had a wonderfully dry sense of humor and was beloved by both his high school friends and friends from Six Points, a Jewish sports camp in North Carolina that was a second home to him. He loved playing board games with his family, and participated in many Fantasy Football Leagues, including one with his brother, cousins, uncle, dad and Grampa.
A private family burial was held at Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery in Chesterfield. The family will sit Shiva Monday, December 8 through Thursday, December 11, 5-8 pm, at their residence. A memorial honoring Ryan’s too-short life will be held at Congregation Shaare Emeth, 11645 Ladue Road on Sunday, December 14 at 1:30 pm.

I never knew him well or had a chance to talk to him, but I would hear about him through people at school, and it was clear he made an impact on others. I’m really sorry to hear about his passing. My heart goes out to his family and everyone who was close to him.

Between my son (Manareldeen) and my daughter (Saba) I expect they might have known your son. I have emailed them. Maybe as a Freshmen your son was on the wrestling team with my son when he was a senior. Saba graduated two years before your son. Regardless, what a gigantic and unfair loss. I am sure you did everything you could. Support each other.

I was one of Ryan’s teachers at Hope Montessori when he was a toddler with Bridget. He was the sweetest, most caring boy. He would always share facts with me about the Beatles and I would always listen to every one. I share those stories about him to this day because I was so impressed with his love for music! I will miss you buddy. Thank you for changing my life with your joy. My condolences to the entire family.
