Keith A. Snider

Keith A. Snider, 52, of Williston, Ohio died Sunday, October 28, 2012 in the Toledo Hospital with his family at his side. Keith had fought a courageous battle against cancer over the last couple of years. He was born in Oregon, Ohio on September 3, 1960 to Mike and Faye Dixon Snider and married Shelley A. Crosskill in Oregon on June 11, 1988. Keith was pattern maker for the Maumee Pattern Manufacturing Co. of Toledo, Ohio for the past 16 years. He and his wife owned and operated Sniders Swim Spa Supplies. He was a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Williston. Keith was a Battalion Chief of the Allen Clay Joint Fire District, Station #1, Williston, Ohio, formerly the Allen Township Volunteer Fire Dept., for 12 years, dedicating a total of over 30 years to the department. He was a person who enjoyed being around people and made friends easily wherever he went. He was known to give all of his co-workers nicknames, many of which stuck! Keith liked to spend his free time with his family, riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, relaxing around the pool with his friends on Pool Sundays, working out with his cousins, golfing and in his younger days, playing softball. He was also an avid football fan of the Cincinnati Bengals, Ohio State Buckeyes, and the Genoa Comets.
