In Loving Memory of Brooklyn Cheyenne Snider
January 23, 2009 – December 16, 2025
Brooklyn Cheyenne Snider was an extraordinary young woman whose life, though far too short, was filled with kindness, humor, and love. Intelligent and mature beyond her years, she had a quiet wit that made people feel comfortable, seen, and valued.
She loved her friends, and cherished time with her family. She shared meaningful conversations and laughter with her mom Crystal, a special love of cars with her dad Daniel, and deep compassion for everyone around her. Brooklyn was a role model to her brother, Dane, and brought comfort and joy wherever she went.
Brooklyn became ill in the fall of 2025 and bravely fought a complex medical battle during her hospitalization from October 30 to December 16, 2025. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by love.
Brooklyn’s life will forever be remembered in sunsets by the lake, the sound of a manual transmission shifting gears, family gatherings, and the kindness she inspired in others. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
