On Friday, November 15, 2024, it was pronounced that Joseph Lee Snyder, age 66, passed away from medical complications at his home in Evart. Joe was born on January 14,1958, in Detroit, Michigan, to Douglas and Frankie (Hale) Snyder. In the mid 70’s he graduated from Dondero High School in Royal Oak, Michigan. On February 13, 1982 Joe married Christine Chalker in Ferndale where they made their home and raised three children.

In 2008 he moved to Ocala, FL to be closer to his dad and stepmom, Carol. Just prior to his father’s passing in 2021, he moved back to Michigan where he resided near his mother. He was well set in his ways and known to be a touch stubborn at times. He thoroughly enjoyed politicking, watching the Mecum Auto Auctions and spending time with his family.

Joe is survived by: his mother, Frankie of Standish; three children, Mathew and Andrew Snyder, both of Berkley, Michigan and Heather (Erik) Kuehn of Mesa, Arizona; their mother, Christine Snyder of Berkley, Michigan; five grandchildren, Lillian, Emily, Quinn, Landon and Addison; two sisters, Colinda Morency-Snyder of Beaverton and Laurie Ludes of Washington; a half brother, Jason Snyder, several extended family and close friends.

Joe was preceded in death by: his father, Douglas Snyder; sister, Shelley Jones and three half brothers, Dean & Neil Murray and Sgt. Gordon Snyder.
