William Todd Snider, aged 51, passed away peacefully on January 9th, 2025 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Throughout his journey, Todd remained positive about the time that he has spent on this earth and with his loved ones. He was married to his best friend, Sandie, for 28 years. They were an inseparable team that complemented each other perfectly in life.
Todd is preceded in death by his father, William Dale, and his brother Robert. He is survived by his wife, Sandie; his four children, Natasha Rayne (wife Audrey), Liam Dale-Johnathon, Zachary Justin, and Caden Robert; his mother Ida; his sister Kimberly.
Todd was born in Lakeside, Arizona to two school teachers. He went on to marry a school teacher and spent many years working in schools. Todd most recently retired after working at AFNorth for 12 years where his lasting impact has been marked with the basketball gym being named in honor of him.
Throughout his life, Todd treasured self-reliance. This led him to learning a variety of skills that he often lent to others in their times of needs. He had a great sense of humor about helping especially when his skills were often offered up by Sandie. Todd was a quiet presence, but he was always a reliable one.
His viewing will be held on Friday, January 17th at 6:00pm at San Tan Mountain View Funeral Home in Queen Creek, Arizona.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, January 18th at 9:00am at 2715 E. Ocotillo Rd. in San Tan Valley, Arizona as well as at AFNorth International School Cafeteria in the Netherlands at 5:00pm.
