Snyder Geronimo Obituary
Snyder "Coke" Geronimo III was born on July 6, 1990, in Alamogordo, New Mexico, to Candace Chee and Snyder Geronimo Jr. He passed away on May 13, 2025, in Tularosa, New Mexico.
Coke grew up on the Mescalero Apache Reservation and later made his home in Tularosa.
He is survived by his two children, Snyder Geronimo IV and Olivia Sanchez, who meant everything to him. Coke is also survived by his sisters Christin, Tayla, Hope, and Sky, and his brothers Raven, John, Alec, Trey, and Bryar. His family and friends will miss him deeply.
Coke loved being outside, especially riding horses. The outdoors gave him a sense of peace and freedom that few things could match. He was known for his quick wit and sense of humor-always ready to make someone laugh, even in tough times.
Above all, Coke will be remembered for his quiet strength, his love for his kids and family, and the way he made people feel seen and cared for. His loss leaves a space that can't be filled, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
