I grew up with Brother Snow when we were just one Branch in Knoxville. He was with us on Scout trips and hikes and led us in Priesthood class and I was friends with Eddie, his son. I am Daniel Cunningham and will never forget Brother Snow and his patience and direction in my youth. GOD bless the Snow family!

Ed was (and still is!) a spiritual giant; a great leader in our church and of the young men in Scouting, always setting an example of unselfish service and giving of himself and his resources without wanting any credit (or even wanting people to know!). He will be greatly missed by family and friends!

It is with great sadness that we learn of the death of Ed Snow--a former neighbor, friend (to us and to many), and a wonderful, wonderful man! May God grant his family strength and comfort during this most difficult time. The memories of his many kindnesses will long be remembered.
