Ed was a man of many talents who could do just about anything. He enjoyed working on his 1989 pickup truck, spending time in his garage tinkering, and attending car shows with his son, Garrett. He loved smoking meat on his smoker, gathering with loved ones, and creating moments that brought everyone together. He also enjoyed fishing and trying new restaurants with his spouse Patty and daughter Brandi Ann.

To his family, Ed was so much more than a husband, father, or pawpaw. He was part of their everyday lives, their traditions, their stories, and their memories. His presence cannot be replaced, and his absence will be felt in the quiet moments, family gatherings, and everyday reminders of the man they loved so dearly.

Ed was preceded in death by his father, mother, and sister, Beth.

Ed leaves behind his loving spouse, Patty Snyder; his daughter, Brandi Snyder and spouse, Christopher Baccus; his son, Garrett Snyder and spouse, Erin Snyder; and his three cherished grandchildren, Hayden Baccus, Kannen Baccus, and Hadley Snyder; sister, Lori Woodward, and her spouse, Busty Woodward; his brother, Donny Snyder and his spouse, Ginny Snyder; and numerous nieces and nephews who will forever hold his memory close to their hearts.

Ed will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten. His time here may have ended, but his place in the hearts of his
