Ronald “Ronnie” Snider, 57, of North Platte, NE, passed away on September 6, 2021, in Beloit, KS.
Ronnie was born on February 4, 1964, in Montebello, CA, son of Robert A. and Isabel “Izzy” (Ortega) Snider.
Ronnie graduated from Maywood High School in 1982. In 1983, he married Patrice “Morris” Snider and together they had three children, Melissa, Kurt and Nathan. He worked at several different types of jobs but his true passion was always truck driving. Ron was a man of many gifts and talents, who could drive or repair most anything. He was known for his funny sense of humor, his kindness, gentleness, and caring, always putting others before himself. He always had a twinkle in his eye and an ornery smirk that had a way of drawing people in. Ron loved fishing and all kinds of semi-trucks. His children and grandchildren were his entire world. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Surviving him are his children, Melissa Snider (Justin Vieyra), Kurt Snider and Nathan Snider; parents, Robert and Isabel Snider; grandchildren, Makenna Snider, Julian Vieyra, Nevaeh Snider, Eliseo Vieyra, and Kendahl Snider; significant other, Elaine; siblings, Larry Snider (Jill), Bob Snider (Debbie), John Snider, Lorraine Mullen (Jerry) and David Ortega (Gena); many nieces, nephews, and many good friends.
