Joshua "Josh" SNIDER

1999 - 2025

With great sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved son, grandson, brother, dad, Veteran, and great friend, Joshua "Josh" Duane Snider. Josh was born on July 2, 1999, and passed away unexpectedly on March 16, 2025. He graduated from West Valley High School in 2017. Josh was a proud member of the 659th Engineer Construction Company Family, so shortly after graduation, he left Spokane for boot camp and AIT in Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. He also completed a tour of active duty in the Middle East. Josh was a SSG E6 with the 751 Engineer Detachment (Concrete) based at Fairchild AFB, WA. Upon returning from the Middle East, he worked at Auto Nation and Findlay Honda. The past year, Josh was a mechanic for Rogers Machinery. At Rogers Machinery, he traveled throughout the Pacific Northwest, while often sharing his work accomplishments proudly with family. He volunteered to work extra hours at Rogers Machinery and often shared his determination to advance within the military, which reflected his incredible work ethic. Josh brought a lot of laughter to those around him and his love for his "homies" was always prevalent. Josh was detail-oriented, an intentional friend, and a dedicated father. Josh was preceded in death by his grandfather, Duane Snider. He leaves behind his daughter, Mayah; girlfriend, Megan; parents, Kevin Snider and Jody (Knott) Rose (Jon); siblings, J'me (Nick) and Jeff; grandparents, Frank and Rosie Knott; Geri Knott (Loren), Maureen Snider; along with nephew, Alixzander; and niece, Kinnedy. He also leaves behind several aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and a large Army community from years of devoted service. Josh's service will be held on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 9:00 AM, at the Washington State Veterans Cemetery, 21702 W. Espanola Rd., Medical Lake, WA 99022. Service will take place in an open shelter, please dress appropriately.
