Paul Edward Snider

Henderson, KY native, Paul Edward Snider, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by family on February 3, 2024 at the age of 71.

Ever the adventure seeker, Paul was an accomplished motocross racer in his early years, and later in life he could be found most weekends at the track enjoying his other great passion in drag racing. An avid outdoorsman, Paul enjoyed hunting and fishing throughout his life, and instilled a deep appreciation for nature in all of his children. Much like his hobbies, his choice in professions reflected his adventurous spirit where he served as a lumberjack for a time, ultimately retiring as a coal miner after 27 years. Paul enjoyed spending his retired years fishing and in the company of his many close friends, playing cards and telling stories.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Dorthy Snider and sister, Carrie A. Snider.
