Rick Snider Obituary
NEWMAN - Rick Snider, 60, of Newman passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on Friday (Nov. 22, 2024).
He was born on June 28, 1964, to John Arthur Snider and Henrietta (Rahn) Snider, in Champaign.
Rick spent most of his days trucking and enjoying the open road, becoming the best living GPS anyone could ask for. Come spring and fall, you would find him in the fields farming with his older brother. His deep love for racing and camping never went unnoticed. You could always spot him wearing a Davenport 49 shirt and hanging out with his racing family, making unforgettable memories. Throughout his life, he made many friends who then turned into family. He never knew a stranger and always had a way of making you feel special. He always had a caring heart, selfless mindset and gave the best advice while passing on knowledge and wisdom. Ricks dedication to his family, work ethic, racing and his love for others are just a few of the great things that he will be remembered for. His greatest achievement was his children and grandchildren.
He is survived by his fiancé, Paula; their three children, Cammie Jo Snider (Jesse Postlewait) of Newman, Jordan Boothe (Catherine Sengsommaly) of Champaign and Jacob (Ashley) Danford of Newman; two stepchildren, Trystan DeRousse of Catlin and Quinten (Alexis) DeRousse of Catlin; their 12 grandchildren, Zayn, Kairi, Angel, Isaac, Isaiah, Ava, Jayce, Prestynn, Harper, Casen and Kinsley; his sister, Rita (Don) Hendershot; brother, Art Snider; niece, Angie (Keith) Batt; and nephew, Tim Hendershot.
He was preceded in death by his parents and infant Johnathan.
The family would like to give a special heartfelt thank you to Timmy and Kara Bosch for their love and support and the SBL hospice team for their amazing care.
Visitation will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at Joines Funeral Home, Newman, with a service immediately following. A celebration of Rick's life will be held at the American Legion Post 201 following.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in his name can be made to the Sarah Bush Lincoln hospice team.
