Karl Benjamin Snyder, 37, died July 12th, 2024, after an odd defying adventure with Brain Cancer.
Karl was born the son of Jerald Wayne Snyder and Diane Louise (Kaiser) Snyder on October 1st, 1986 in Pasco County, Florida.
He spent his early childhood in Florida, before his family moved to Iowa in 1989 and then to Missouri in 1991, to be closer to family. He was a graduate of the Scotland County R-1, class of 2005. After graduation, Karl worked for his father’s company, Redyns Masonry, where he enjoyed working with his three brothers; Jason, Chris and Clarence “Duke” and dad, Jerald, for many years. Like most brothers they did not always see eye to eye, but Karl looked up to them and after a short time usually came around. Karl enjoyed to eat anything made by his mom, and later by his sister Stacy who had the same special touch.
Karl enjoyed being outdoors doing anything in his free time: working on his vehicles, playing video games and for many years MMA fighting. Karl loved to laugh, and looked forward to any adventure!
He cherished time with his family and friends, but also enjoyed time with his “Buds”. He was always the first guy to lend a hand or help an animal in need. He could never turn down a challenge and because of his spontaneity, he often needed a little help himself. If Karl called, you better answer because he needed you, but there was never any doubt that he would return the favor.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Diane Louise Snyder.
Karl is survived by his father, Jerald Snyder; his siblings: Jason (Amanda) Snyder of Rutledge, Mo., Clarence (Lacie) Snyder of Memphis, Mo., Stacy (Mike) Easton of Seymour, Ia., and Chris Snyder of Iowa City, IA; nieces and nephews: Arysta, Matthew, Cheyenne, Hailey, Britteny, Chandler, Brandon and Serenity; many aunts, uncles and cousins.
