Kevin J. Snyder, age 70, of Phoenix, AZ, died peacefully on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at University Hospital in Madison.
There will be a memorial gathering at Koepsell-Murray Funeral Home in Beaver Dam on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Kevin was born on February 5, 1954, to Merle and Shirley (Hanson) Snyder in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Kevin was firm in his faith, loving to his family, and passionate for his work. He joyfully worked alongside his brothers for decades in “the family business.” Kevin’s family grew over the decades. He was an avid baseball fan that spoke of his love for the game rather than a winner or loser, although he would always choose the Brewers to take it all if he had it his way. Kevin would never turn down a good book, and would never stop reading it until it was finished. Kevin loved a good round of golf. He always had something to perfect in his game, and would never say no to some good competition with his golf buddies. He found himself trekking the orange colors of the Arizona desert later in his life, finding the beauty of the dry, hot terrain as his solace.
Kevin had three loving children that further grew to give him four beautiful grandchildren. All keep his memory alive with the memories and laughter that he brought to their lives. Kevin delighted most in the times he could be around his family and friends. He took pride in what beautiful and strong women his children grew to be. Further, he found happiness and joy in the fun he had with each of his grandchildren.
Kevin loved God and lived a life of understanding above all. He was a man that would accept all with kind words and a quiet listening heart. He always did everything he could for his family or a friend. He will be missed by family and many friends. He lives on in his three children; Melissa, Katie, and Danielle. He continues in the hearts of his four grandchildren; Keagan, Connor, Elliot, and Salem. Kevin is remembered in his church ministry in Arizona, his extended family and relatives, and the many friends he found through his years with us.

Kevin was a dear friend. We walked through the park all the time with Kevin and Argos. We always looked forward to his return to the campground in spring. He was a very kind, gentle soul. He was always upbeat and just a genuinely nice guy!!! He retired last year from Derge Park due to his health, and we really missed him this year. We are so sorry for your loss.

Kevin was so very kind to his Aunt Marilyn Snyder Rogers (my mother), visiting her several times in South Dakota and Arizona. He also went out of his way to visit us in Utah on his way to Arizona in the Fall 2022. I was impressed with his kind demeanor and sincere interest in our lives. The world needs more people like Kevin!

Kevin was my cousin, and while we only met a few times in our lives, I recognized a kind soul. He was soft spoken and mannered and my condolences go out to all the family. Sleep peacefully, Kevin.

Melissa, Katie and Danielle you have our deepest sympathy. What a beautiful obituary of your dad. We never had the pleasure of meeting your dad. But because of the beautiful story of your dad's life that you have written. We just know what a special dad he was to you girls. Also a great grandpa to his grandchildren. All our love Steve and Blanche

Kevin was a wonderful person who loved to be around people. I worked with Kevin a couple of years through Dodge County Parks and know all his friends from the park will miss hearing his conversation. He always made them feel at home. May you rest in peace.
