Jonathan Snyder

Jonathan Douglas Snyder, 65, of Benton, Arkansas passed away July 21, 2020. He was born December 20, 1954 in Jackson, Michigan to the late George and Angelyn Snyder.  He was predeceased by a brother, Mike Snyder and a son, Jonathan Snyder, Jr. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Benton for thirty-five years.

Jonathan loved politics, the challenge of the stock market, and canoeing on the Buffalo River. He especially loved his dog, Roman and his cat, P.I.T.A. (Pain in the ass).

He loved his family dearly.  He leaves behind to cherish his memory: his lovely wife Marcia for almost forty-four years, and his four beautiful girls:  Melia Snyder (Todd Walton) of Colorado, Alyssa Snyder (Margaret Thomas) of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Kristen Snyder of Miami, Florida, and Elizabeth Snyder of Fife, Washington.

He also leaves behind two brothers George Snyder, II (Ann) of Fair Oaks California, Geoff Snyder (Laura) of Jackson, Michigan, and three sisters:  Kathleen  Klumpp (Marlin) of Tecumseh, Michigan, Angie Snyder of Jackson, Michigan, and Sue Smolinski (Ken) of Jackson, Michigan; a very special friend, Travis Traxler; and a host of nieces, nephews, family members and friends who love Jonathan and will miss him always.

In lieu of food and flowers, memorials may be made to the Saline Humane Society in Benton, Arkansas.

Family will hold a private memorial service at a later date.
