Scott Snider Obituary

SNIDER, Scott

of Tucson passed away on November 26, 2021. He had a life of many accomplishments from being an Eagle Scout, dedicated teacher and school librarian, to volleyball coach of the year. He touched many lives throughout his years and couldn't go anywhere without hearing, "Hey Coach!" from a former student, player, parent, or admirer of his. He was a quiet source of strength for us all and will be deeply missed. He is preceded in death by his father, Richard and brother, Roger. He is survived by his son, Wilson; daughter, Elise Morlan (Nick); granddaughter, Lena; mother, Jody; brother, Jeremiah (Jocelyn) and sisters, Kim Laber (Lance) and Robin Wilson (Roddey). Memorials can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Arrangements by DESERT ROSE HEATHER.

Scott was a gentleman. He often talked about his grandfather. He was loyal and often in deep thought, but if you got his attention he always smiled. He adored his children. His eyes would light up when they came to school. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for them. He will be missed.

Dear Snider Family,

I am very sorry to hear that Scott has passed. We met at In school during the early 1960s. We had classes together at PVHS and even a few at the U of A. Scott had a great career as a teacher and coach and will be missed by many.

Rest In Peace, Scott.

I remember fondly Scott as the Santa Rita HS librarian. He was truly supportive, compassionate, and a great lover of books. My sympathies to his friends and family.

My love and deepest condolences to the family. I will always have fond memories of Scott. I will remember seeing him at family gatherings...taller than everyone else...working his way over, just to say hello in his quiet, but caring way. He was a blessing to us all.
