A Celebration of Life for 50-year old Rushville native Ronnie Snyder of Thornton, CO, will be held Saturday, Nov 5, 2022 at 1:00 at the Arvada United Methodist Church 6750 Carr St in Arvada, CO.
Ronnie’s true passion was his children, so, in lieu of flowers, a college fund has been established for Alanna and Kalon.
Ronnie Lewellen Snyder was born November 26, 1971 in Rushville, NE the son of Ronnie and Jeanie (Kuskie) Snyder and was immediately joined by his identical twin, Lonnie Edward. He passed away on October 2, 2022 at home in Thornton, CO after a heroic battle with cancer.
Ronnie grew up south of Rushville and attended local country schools before graduating Valedictorian from Rushville High School in 1990. He went on to South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, where he graduated with honors and a double major in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in 1994.
In 2005, Ronnie received the Distinguished Recent Graduate Award from SDSM&T for his outstanding work in the computer science industry.
Ronnie married Amy Weyers of Hay Springs, NE on August 1, 1998 in Scottsbluff, NE. They lived in the suburbs of Denver for 24 years and were blessed with a daughter, Alanna Marie, in 2005 and a son, Kalon Mitchell, in 2006.
As a successful business owner of Zeotek, Inc. for 27 years, Ronnie enjoyed consulting in software development and was known for his quality work, attention to detail, unassailable integrity, and dedication to client success.
Ronnie was an avid fisherman, hunter, poker shark, and volleyball player and enjoyed coaching and cheering for his kids’ sports and activities. He loved strategy and card games. His competitive nature was second only to his witty humor, kindness and love of family and friends.
Ronnie is survived by his wife Amy, and their children Alanna and Kalon, parents Ronnie and Jeanie Snyder, siblings Lonnie (Susan) Snyder, Stacey Romick, Beverly (Greg) Devrous, and siblings by marriage Lorinda Elson, Rick (Donna) Weyers, Tim (Cheryl) Weyers, Calvin (Jane) Weyers, Alynn (Brad) Brodine, Marcia (Les) Estrada, Paul (Laurie) Weyers, Cammy (Mark) Horn and Anna (Keith) Taylor and many beloved nephews and nieces.
Ronnie was preceded in death by grandparents Frank and Rosemary Kuskie; Woodrow and Charlyn Snyder, in-laws, Leo and Idonna Weyers, and brothers-in-law Dale Elson and Kendall Weyers.
So very sorry for your loss. He sounds like an amazing and talented young man. Jeanie you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Snyder Family,
Ronnie was always so thoughtful, kind, and quick-witted. I went to grade school with Ronnie, Lonnie, and Stacey. Years later, I reconnected with Ronnie; it was as if no time had passed. We had some good laughs over silly things in grade school.
May God give you the strength to get through the days ahead, wisdom for whatever decisions you need, and a peace that passes all understanding. You will be in my thoughts and prayers!Â
I wasn’y around Ronnie that much but I did enjoy being around and talking to him.
