Larry Dean Snyder, 68, of Marble Falls, Texas, passed away June 8, surrounded by the love of his family.
Born November 23, 1957 to Carl and Mary Snyder, Larry grew up near Houston, where he developed the strong work ethic, integrity, and adventurous spirit that defined his life. He earned degrees from the University of Minnesota and the University of Texas and built a distinguished career as a software and product development engineer, executive, and educator across the industries of aerospace, defense, technology, and energy.
On October 23, 1982, Larry married Beth Ann Meuwissen of Annandale. The union of the Lone Star and the North Star created a loving, close knit family filled with unwavering devotion and adventures. Larry’s career led them to California, Florida and throughout Texas, yet Larry’s heart was always drawn back to the Texas Hill Country.
Larry’s greatest pride and joy was his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Beth; children Patrick (Chelsea), Charlie (Jamie), Mary (Kyle), and Katy (Chris); grandchildren Avery, Aaron, Aidan, and Ben; brother Lonny (Joan); sister Lisa Jacobson (Kip); Annandale in-laws, and many dear relatives and friends.
Known for his intellect, creativity, humor, and can-do spirit, he enjoyed the great outdoors and any project that allowed him to build, create or repair. He was a man of faith, active in his parish and the greater community.
His parents, Carl and Mary Snyder, and his parents-in-law Ben and Ann Meuwissen of Annandale preceded him in death.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, on June 27. Private graveside service will be held at St. Ignatius Cemetery in Annandale, Minn.
Larry will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
