Guy Snodgrass

Born on November 26, 1948, in Fort Worth, Guy spent his childhood in Texas before attending the prestigious United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He graduated in 1971 and fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a Navy pilot. During his distinguished military service, Guy flew the A-7 Corsair II attack aircraft for the United States Navy, combining skill, dedication, and courage in service to his country.

Following his military career, Guy continued his passion for aviation, spending 28 years as a pilot for Delta Air Lines. Whether serving his nation or transporting passengers around the world, he approached every flight with professionalism and pride.

In 1975, he began his life’s journey with Kathleen, his devoted partner and wife. Together they built a beautiful life grounded in faith, family, and community. In 1978, they returned to Guy’s hometown of Arlington, Texas, where they established their home and raised their family over the next 48 years.

Guy was deeply committed to public service and devoted much of his life to his community. He served as a member of the Dalworthington Gardens City Council for 33 years, earning the respect and admiration of countless residents through his dedication, integrity, and steady leadership.

Above all else, Guy was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He and Kathleen raised two children and created a family centered on love, support, and lasting memories. Some of Guy’s greatest joys came from spending time with his six grandchildren, who affectionately knew him as “Daddy Guy.” His wisdom, humor, and unwavering love will remain with them always.

Guy was preceded in death by his beloved son, Kevin Snodgrass.

He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Kathleen Snodgrass; his daughter, Julia Edwards, and son-in-law, Joshua; his grandchildren, Cooper, Jacob, Cason, Jackson, Chandler, and Jeanette; his sister, Jo Ann, and brother-in-law, Kim; and his brother, John, and sister-in-law, Linda, along with many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

Guy’s life was defined by service, dedication, and love—for his country, his community, and his family. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and in the family he cherished so deeply.

A graveside service will be held on June 19, 2026, at 10:15 a.m. at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, 2000 Mountain Creek Parkway, Dallas, Texas 75211.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all who have offered prayers, support, and kindness during this time. Guy will be remembered always with love, honor, and gratitude.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day —and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” — 2 Timothy 4:7-8
