Matthew Snipas Obituary
Born in Kingston, he was the son of Robert and Evelyn Intelicato Snipas, Dorrance. He graduated from Crestwood High School and served his country proudly and honorably in the United States Army during Iraq Freedom War.
Matt enjoyed spending time in his garden, traveling, spending time with friends and was absolutely passionate about animals. He loved his pet cats, Tuna, Mac and Nismo, but his favorite companion was Delilah, his dog. Matt was an avid Eagles football fan and valued family, spending a lot of time with them, including his sister and her family. Matthew was a loving and devoted son. He enjoyed cooking with his mother and shared his fathers passion for music. He would spend many hours working with his dad on his car and outdoor projects.
He was employed as a machinist at Ashley Tool and Die Company and was a member of St. Jude's Church and Knights of Columbus, Dorrance Twp.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sister, Christina Haggerty and her husband, Paul; along with their children, Alyssa and William. He is also survived by his godparents, Carol and Albert Semanek; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by brother, Robert D. Snipas; and grandparents, Joseph Intelicato and wife, Teresa; and Anthony Snipas and wife, Frances.
Due to the public health restrictions, a family viewing and services were held privately and a public celebration of life will be at a day and time to be announced.
