Duane Thomas Snyder's Obituary
Duane Thomas Snyder, loving father and grandfather, passed away unexpectedly January 5, 2024, at his home in Millbrook. He was 82 years old. Per his wishes, cremation will take place with no services to follow at this time.
Duane was born September 27, 1941 in Millbrook, MI, the son of Harold and Diana (Main) Snyder. He attended college obtaining his tool and die grafting degree, which later landed him a job with Dow Chemical. Duane was quiet and content when at home in his comfort zone. He spent hours woodworking, making tables and numerous other pieces of quality furniture in his spare time. The outdoors was his sanctuary, and he could often be found caring for his cedar hedges, trimming and shaping them to perfection. Duane’s garden was always immaculate bringing him much joy to watch it flourish. His loving and good-hearted nature will be deeply missed by his family members he loved so much.
Left to cherish his memory are his children, Ginger Snyder, Mark (Karen) Snyder, and Daniel (Lori) Snyder; grandchildren, Jessica (Trevor) Hinton, Amanda Palmer, Casey (Alyssa) Snyder, Cody Snyder, Sherry Snyder, Cory (Jessica) Snyder and Hunter Snyder, and great-grandchildren, Breylan, Chevelle, Emma, Nolan, Hayden and Henley.
Duane was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Tammy; brother, Darrel Snyder and son-in-law, Thomas.
