Thomas Snyder, 78, of Medusa, was peacefully escorted home by his loving family on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. He was born on May 30, 1947, and raised in Preston Hollow, the son of Donald Snyder and Esther Sanford Snyder.

Thomas was the beloved husband of Ruth Kellam Snyder, and a devoted father to Lisa, Paul, and Tommy (Michelle). He was a proud grandfather to Bronson, Morgan (Cam), and Derrick, and a cherished great-grandfather to Miles. Tom is survived by his sister, Carol Chase (Mark), as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by his parents; his brother, Donald Snyder Jr.; and his father- and mother-in-law, Eugene and Dorothy Kellam.

Tom spent much of his life doing what he loved most—being with his family and working as a dairy farmer. He was also employed for many years at Stiefel’s (GlaxoSmithKline).

A true lover of animals, Tom had a special way of connecting with people and was known as a natural storyteller—often sharing memories of loved ones who had passed, and moments spent with friends over the years. He enjoyed gardening, traveling, and dining out (or in). One of his favorite traditions was taking trips to Lancaster County to visit Amish friends, bringing home canned goods and food for the freezer.

A memorial service will be held at Preston Hollow Baptist Church on Saturday, May 23, with the time to be announced.

Tom will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
