David Snyder

David Snyder, Kindred,

ND, formerly of Minot,

ND, passed away unex-

pectedly on October 15,

2021, at the young age of

48.

David Allan Snyder was

born April 3, 1973, in Al-

buquerque, NM, to Laurel

and Elaine (Demchuck)

Snyder. He was the

youngest of five boys. Da-

vid had an adventurous

childhood and was able to

experience many cities

growing up. Kansas City,

MO, Las Vegas, NV, Salt

Lake City, UT and Casper,

WY. He and his family

settled close to family in

Minot, ND where he was

educated and graduated

in 1992 from Minot High

School.

David met the love of

his life, Noel Nester, in

grade school where they

rode the same school bus.

He was in 6th grade and

she in 5th. Their friend-

ship grew as they went

though school together

and when Noel returned

from Basic Training he

was waiting on her

doorstep. They were mar-

ried September 14, 2002,

in his brother, Scott’s,

backyard in St. Michael,

MN. Through this union

they were blessed with

three amazing children:

Zackery, Gavin, and his

princess, Emma. David

was so very proud of his

family, and it showed in

everything he did.

He worked hard and

played hard. After high

school he traveled the

country building big box

retail stores, from there he

worked with CP Rail,

DeLoughery Painting and

when it was finally family

time, he settled down at

DMI Industries and was

most recently employed at

ADM in Enderlin, ND.

He was an avid hunter

and fisherman. He lived

to go deer hunting in the

ND Badlands and fish for

walleye at Lake Audubon.

He was also very active

in the Dakota Southeast

Pheasants Forever, assist-

ing with youth hunts and

the annual banquet.

He was the most incred-

ible person, who could fix

anything and build any-

thing. He would help any-

one in need without giv-

ing it a second thought.

He spoiled his family with

limitless enthusiasm.

Anyone who knew him

loved him. His friends

were loyal to the end, and

he was just as loyal to

them. His circle went

back to grade school, and

he always had room for

more people in his life.

He was a rare shining star

we lost way to soon.

David is survived by:

his loving wife of 19

years, Noel, their chil-

dren, Zackery (20), Gavin

(17) and Emma (10) of

Kindred, ND, his brothers
