John "Jared" Snyder

Snyder, John "Jared"
SARATOGA SPRINGS - Jared Snyder died on October 10, holding the hand of his wife of 36 years. He was 66, which was way too young for such a vibrant, healthy man.
He rode his bike most of the days of his life. He rode his bike in Bhutan, Thailand, Morrocco, Italy, Spain, Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Laos, Portugal, Buffalo, Washington, Albany, Saratoga, the Netherlands, and so many other places. He was a vegetarian, not a very good vegetarian, but he did his best.
When your husband dies, the funeral home gives you a template for the obituary. Obviously, I will be ignoring that.
He is survived by his amazing children, Caleb, and his partner, Emily, Aidan, and his wife, Stephanie, Ethan, and his partner, Christina; his wife, Cathy; his brother, Adam, and his wife, Alison; his sister, Abigail, and her husband, Rick; and so many other people who loved him. They are a tribute to him and the man he was. He taught all of my children, and my nephew, Liam, how to poop in the woods. He loved the Adirondacks and did everything in his power to protect it.
Jared lived a life of purpose and meaning and made the planet better through his creativity, intellect and integrity. He was deeply loved, because he deserved it. He will be missed.
We will have a memorial service in November, when I hope I can breathe again. Please check this site and Caringbridge for more information. Please join us to celebrate this extraordinary man and revel in the community we built and the legacy of a life well lived.
Arrangements are under the direction of the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Home, 628 N. Broadway, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. 12866.
