Michael John Snyder

Michael John Snyder, 72, of Attica, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2026, at United Memorial Medical Center, Batavia.

He was born on April 23, 1954, in Batavia, a son of the late Andrew and late Eleanor (Bigelow) Snyder.

Michael proudly served his country in the United States Army, a chapter of his life he carried with great pride. He remained connected to his fellow veterans as a member of the Attica American Legion and the Perry Veterans Club. Michael dedicated many years of hard work to CSX Railroad in Buffalo before retiring. Through his service and his work, he built a life defined by dedication, commitment, and pride in the people and community around him.

Michael was a true outdoorsman who found great joy in spending time in nature, whether he was snowmobiling, fishing, or enjoying pheasant and deer hunting. He cherished the peace and adventure that came with being outdoors, but above all, Michael's greatest joy was his family. The time he spent with those he loved most was what mattered to him, and he treasured the memories made together. His love for his family was at the heart of everything he did and will remain a lasting part of his memory.

He is survived by his daughters, Elly Snyder and Leah Snyder; siblings, Andrew (Anna) Snyder, Daniel (Carol) Snyder, Allen (Candi) Snyder, and Gina (William) Lepsch, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In death Michael is reunited with his parents, Andrew and Eleanor Snyder, and the mother of his children, Carrie Snyder.
