William Snow Obituary

William Mark Snow
Born: June 8, 1955 in Dixon, IL
Died: September 30, 2025 in Oregon, IL
William Mark Snow passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025. He was born on June 8, 1955 in Dixon, IL, the son of John and Helen Snow. Bill was a graduate of Dixon High School and served 6 years as a Naval Reactor Operator on the Dwight D Eisenhour from 1975 – 1981. Bill started working at Byron Nuclear Plant in 1981 where he met and married the love of his life, Marseyne Richter Snow on July 30, 1983. He has a passion for refuel outage management and transferred to Corporate Management in 1998. At Corporate he directed Refueling, Steam Generators, Turbines, and NDE Services for 6 Exelon Midwest Nuclear facilities. In 2001, he left Exelon and contracted to Areva to support nuclear outage work worldwide. Bill, also known as Snowman, never met a stranger. He had a story for everyone. One of his favorite expressions was "He was the nicest guy you will ever want to meet!" Bill loved his dogs and was particularly proud of his Bernese Mountain dogs. He was an avid Chicago Bears fan and the most loyal Trump supporter. Bill loved spending time with family and friends and especially enjoyed entertaining in his man cave which he decorated with Chicago Bears pictures, couch and rug. His hobbies included boating on the Rock River, classic cars, playing pool with the guys, and trying to have the straightest lines in the neighborhood when he mowed the yard. Bill was preceded in death by his parents, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Bill is survived by his wife of 42 years, Marseyne; daughters, Angela (Angelo) Powell of Morris and Alycia Snow of Naperville; grandchildren, AJ and Alaina Powell and several nieces and nephews. Bill was so proud of both of his daughters. He could not have loved them more. Bill will be immensely missed by all who knew and loved him. Visitation will be held from 4:00 – 6:00 PM on Sunday, October 5, 2025 at the Oregon Church of God. A funeral service will be held at 10:00 AM on Monday, October 6, 2025 at the Oregon Church of God with Pastor Michael Hoffman officiating.
