David Snodgrass III January 25, 1934-January 4, 2026

David Loren Snodgrass III came into this world on January 25, 1934. Born in Plattsburg, Missouri to David Loren, Jr. and Almina Parr Snodgrass. When the family moved to St. Joseph, he grew up alongside his brother, James Martin Snodgrass. After graduating high school with the class of 1952, David attended St. Joseph Junior College, receiving an associate’s degree in chemistry. He lived and worked in the St. Joseph area until marrying Effie Ernestine “Nene” Boyd on April 22, 1956. One year later they welcomed son, Galen, and seven years later daughter Alison, both of whom brought joy and love to David throughout his life. David and Nene were able to celebrate their 68th anniversary. He had a gifted memory, loved family and friends, and thoroughly enjoyed living on the farm. David leaves behind his son, Galen D. Snodgrass and wife, Kim; Daughter Alison Jean Culver and husband, David Culver as well as six grandchildren and their families; Samantha Thomas, Kathryn Rollins, Doug Snodgrass, Lisa Snodgrass, Evan Culver and Audrey Culver. David also loved being great-grandfather to eight. David will be remembered as quiet, generous, determined, resilient, and perhaps just a tad bit stubborn. It is our honor to call him Dad, Grandpa and Great-Grandpa.
