James D. Snyder (JD), 26, passed away on Thursday October 25, 2018. JD was born on November 5, 1991 in Newton, NJ to Dale and Kim (nee Schutte) Snyder. JD lived in Ogdensburg most of his life, then moved to Sussex for two years. JD and Jessica then purchased their first home in Vernon.

When JD was younger he played baseball at Walkhill Valley Leagues and was known for his great pitching abilities and was actively involved in theater. He was a true foodie at heart, mac and cheese being his favorite food of all time. He was passionate about Disney and tried to travel to Disney World as much as he could. He thoroughly enjoyed Star Wars and watching the movies from his younger years all the way up until his wedding day, where he recited his love for Star Wars in his wedding vows! He also enjoyed history, playing the guitar and was a huge movie/TV buff, who could recite many of the words said and his one liners and jokes could make anyone laugh.

JD is survived by his loving wife Jessica (nee Ames) Snyder and his parents, Dale and Kim Snyder, and his brother, Dylan Snyder, and his maternal grandmother, Gail Schutte. He also left behind his three fur babies Rosie, Cooper, and Chloe.

Family, friends, and others whose lives JD touched are invited to Ferguson-Vernon Funeral Home at 241 Rt. 94, Vernon, NJ (GPS use 1 Vanderhoof Court). The viewing starts on Tuesday October 30th from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM at which time the service will begin. Donations may be sent to www.gofundme.com/james-snyder-memorial-service-fund.
