Brian Wilson Snyder

December 24, 1987 — October 25, 2022

Brian Wilson Snyder, 34, of La Fontaine, Indiana entered into the loving arms of Jesus on Tuesday, October 25, 2022.

He was born on December 24, 1987, in Corona, California to James A. Snyder and Karen E. (Gemler) Snyder.

Brian honorably served in the National Guard.

He was employed as a commercial landscaper for 15 years and his most recent employment was with Rick Reinhart Landscaping. He simply loved his job. The ability to spend countless hours being outdoors and operating numerous pieces of equipment brought him great satisfaction and joy. Brian enjoyed making the world a more attractive and beautiful place to live.

Brian had a very caring heart and was always willing to lend a hand to lift others up. He expressed gratitude to others from a young age in return showed his tender heart to others. Brian’s whole world was his daughter, Arianna. He was an extremely devoted father and would do anything for his daughter. Together they made limitless memories going on many adventures together some of which included spending time at different zoos and being able to take her to her first concert.  Growing up with a sister naturally lead Brian to be a protective brother and that relationship has grown into an inseparable bond with Kelsey. Brian loved spending time outside, swimming no matter the location, and just being around the water. Additionally, he enjoyed spending Memorial Day weekend alongside his family at the Indianapolis 500, and attending drag races since he was just five years old.

He is survived by his daughter, Arianna Snyder of Hoagland, Indiana; parents Jim and Karen Snyder of La Fontaine, Indiana; sister, Kelsey Snyder of Harrisonburg, Virginia; aunt, Evelyn Mcdermott of Decatur, Indiana; aunt, Sue Gemler of Yorba Linda, California; aunt, Pat (Rick) Vanderheide of Yorba Linda, California; and numerous cousins.

Brian was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service on Saturday at the church.
