Gary Roland Snow, Age 81, went home to be with the Lord on June 20, 2025. He was born on July 31, 1943 to Charlie and Wilma Snow in Searcy, Arkansas. His family moved to Richland, WA in 1953 where he grew up. He was raised in the Southern Baptist church and his faith was an important part of his life.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years Carolyn, daughters Amy Baxter and Jill Snow, granddaughter Mckenna Baxter, sister Fern Newton, brother Charles (Donna) Snow, sister Faye (Larry) Wiggins, sister-in-law Darlene Snow and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents Charlie and Wilma Snow, his brother Randy Snow and brother-in-law Ralph Newton.

Gary graduated from Columbia High School in Richland, WA in 1961 and went on to graduate from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX. After he graduated college, he was drafted to serve his country during the Vietnam war in the U.S. Army where he served proudly.

After he served, he went to work for McDonnell Douglas Corp. where he met and married the love of his life Carolyn Johnson. He went on to work for several Hanford contractors and retired from Fluor Federal Services.

He took pride in his lawn and growing a vegetable garden every year. He loved to talk and share stories. He enjoyed meeting people and getting to know them. He made many good friends and was always ready to help anyone in need.

He loved his family and was always there for us. He especially loved to be a part of his wonderful granddaughter’s life and watch her grow up. He was a great husband, dad, papa and brother.

We thank God to have had Gary a part of our lives through these years. We will always love and miss him.
