Jackey Snavley 1957-2025

He was born April 18, 1957, in Youngstown, the son of the late Alfred Snavley Sr. and Shirley Tickle Snavley.

He was also preceded in death by his grandson, Jackson; and his sister, Deborah Snavley.

Jack worked as a welder and a press operator before becoming an over-the-road truck driver. He loved seeing the country, but his deepest love was for his Lord, his family and his church.

Over the years, he served his church in many roles, including board member and youth and young adult ministry leader.

In recent years, he enjoyed being a “Camp Grandpa” for summer camps. He loved the outdoors, camping with his family and hunting. Westerns, classic movies, cooking and all things Christmas were also favorites.

Jack was a loving husband to Sara, his childhood sweetheart and wife of 45 years. He was a devoted and loving father to his son, Joshua, and his daughter-in-law, Sandy; and a proud grandfather to his grandson, Mason.

Jack also leaves behind his brother, Alfred Snavley Jr., and sister-in-law, Ruth; niece, Nancy (Eric) Ensley; brother-in-law, Robert (Carol) Riley; and many family members and friends.

He loved his family and friends deeply, and he will be greatly missed.
