Terry Lee Snelson

March 17, 2012

Terry L. Snelson of Cantonment went to spend eternity with his Heavenly Father, Saturday, March 10, 2012, at the age of 42. Terry was born December 5, 1969, in Rolla, MO. He lived the majority of his life in the Molino and Cantonment area.

Mr. Snelson graduated from Tate high School in 1988. He was employed by Escambia County Road Department as an Equipment Operator Four. He was a faithful and dedicated worker.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Myrtle Elliott and uncle, Henry Reeves of Molino; and by his grandparents, Ray and Marian Snelson and uncle, Raymon Snelson of Rolla, MO.

Terry is survived by his loving children, Nicholas, Sydney, and Lukas Snelson; mother and stepfather, Fran and Bob Fournier; father and stepmother, Chuck and Jill Snelson; a sister, Teresa Kelly and her children Jessica, Janna, Johannah, Jared, and Jamie Kelly; aunts, JoAnn Reeves and Sybil Schachle (John); former wife and mother of his children, Tammy Snelson; half brother, Nathan Phillips; numerous cousins in Escambia County and Rolla, MO; and a multitude of friends.

Terry was a friend to everyone he came in contact with. He would help and do anything for his family and friends even if it caused a hardship on himself. I am very proud to be his mom.

The family will receive friends at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North, Cantonment, on Monday, March 19, 2012, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
