Ronald Snyder Obituary

MINSTER - Ronald A. Snyder, 86, passed away after complications of a stroke. He passed peacefully on September 14, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones. Born on March 11, 1939, he was the son of the late Noble A. and Mabel (Studebaker) Snyder, Ronald lived a life full of adventure, hard work, and devotion to those he cherished most.

Ronald was married to the love of his life Susan (Westerbeck) Snyder, with whom he shared countless memories and adventures.

I knew Ron when I was a kid just out of high school. He helped in so many ways get started in boat racing.. One time in 1975 he loaned me his lifejacket and sure enough I had to use it. when I finally got back to the pits I apologized profusely. Ron's response: Well that's what it's for. Ron you are mused
