Jerry Wesley Snable

Jerry Wesley Snable, age 73, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at Bay Shores Senior Care & Rehab Center.

Born on October 2, 1951, he was the son of the late Rudolph Sr. and Virginia (Fuhr) Snable. Jerry graduated from T.L. Handy High School in 1969 and went on to work at the Green Hut for over 30 years.

At just 16 years old, he qualified for and competed in the 1968 PGA Buick Open, becoming the youngest participant at the time.

Jerry deeply cherished the time spent with his family and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Ronald Frank Snable. He is survived by his two brothers, Rudy (Beverly) Snable and Jim (Joyce) Snable; his longtime friend and mentor Harry Stumpos, Lou Ann Rosekrans and her son, Brent; and his nieces and nephews: Scott (Gail) Snable, Stephanie (Chris) McCrumb, Shawn (Jennifer) Snable, John (Deanna) Snable, and Patrick (Tamara) Snable. Jerry is also remembered fondly by numerous grand-nieces and nephews, cousins.
