He was born to Walter and Marie Snell in Montgomery, Alabama.
He spent his youth traveling along his family to different bases as his father served in the Army Air Corp and Air Force before retiring and resettling back in Montgomery.
He spent his early school years traveling through multiple states across the U.S. He flourished as an athlete in track, basketball, and football attending as a fellow “Knight” at Madrid/ Torrejon High School in Madrid, Spain, and later attended Robert E. Lee High School back in Alabama where he graduated as a “General.”
He went on to follow the career path shared by both his parents becoming a fellow educator and coach. He later settled in TX where he continued an influential career in education and coaching. He worked as a personal trainer and referee for local youth sports.
He had a passion for football, fishing, and exercising. He was an enthusiast of history and natural science, as well as traveling with his favorite vacationing spot being the beaches of Hawaii.
He was a loving and doting husband, incredibly kind and patient father, a wonderfully loving and proud grandfather, a devoted and caring son, and an adoring big brother. He was a true and virtuous friend.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests upon his wishes that donations be made to the your local SPCA.
