Son, it is now 17 years since you left us all behind. Not a day goes by that you aren't remembered w/ love & pride for all that you had accomplished in your short life of 37 years. The visits that we had to your homes in different states were precious & too brief bc we had to get back to PA without you. You + Corey were the Best Host & Hostess! Now we just have Beautiful Memories & a lot of photos to scan. With a lump in my throat & lots of tears, I can't help but relive all those Precious Moments. Some of your friends have chosen your name for one of their sons! What an honor that is! And little Brooke knows who you were as well. Remembering you w/ love & pride always, Mom & Jim, your dad Neil, Brian, Scott, Kerry, & of course, Corey (Brooke, too)

Well Kevin,
My son Kevin is 18 now, born on the same day you passed. Life throws some crazy coincident at us, and this was one of them. Still proud to have been the guy chosen to honor you and your military service, get your family in to see you before the services, and help Corey with everything. Take care brother, De Oppresso Liber!

Kev, today is another Birthday for you, and we celebrate you for being the very best son, brother, uncle, grandson, etc., before & during your years w/ the US Army & the Green Beret. Not a day ever goes by that we don't think of you. With tears & a lump in our throats, we miss you everyday & wish we could have had you in our lives all these years--16 1/2 to be exact. All our LOVE & PRIDE in all that you accomplished in your young life-- 37 years. From Brian, Scott, Kerry, Mom, Dad, & our families

Sandi Eckhart

November 5, 2022

Our Dear Son, Kevin, Kev, whatever name we called you:. There is not a day that goes by that we don't think of you & remember all the wonderful times we all had with you ( & Corey later). Being the youngest of four, you were watched over by your brothers & sister who enjoyed every minute they spent with you. The comeradery you had with them & your neighbor buddies was to serve you when you were grown & joined the Army, to follow in your brother Scott's footsteps. After visiting Fort Dix & Fort Knox when you were 12 just gave you even more love for the Military. Oh, how I miss those visits to your home base numerous times over the years & the tours around the town! We were always treated with Love, Respect, & your own Special Hospitality, & we always enjoyed those times with your Army buddies. So with some tears & a lump in my throat again, we Lovingly Remember You on Your Birthday & we Honor You on This Day 16 1/2 years after we had to say Goodbye. Missing you, Kev, our Son, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Grandson (& Husband to Corey), You are Always in our Hearts! Eternal Love & Pride in All You had Accomplished in your short life from Mom & Jim, Dad, Brian, Scott, & Kerry! 11/06/68--03/16/06

March 16, 2021

Son, it's 15 yrs. today that you left us all so quickly, but the heartache we feel seems like it was just yesterday. Still tears & a lump in my throat, I can't help but remember you & Corey & how you always welcomed us to your home, taking us sight-seeing or to a race. You never talked about all the awards & medals you received, so humble; but that was you, with the big smile enjoying what you did on base & off w/your friends & young recruits! The PRIDE we all felt & still do when we remember just how much of an IMPACT you had on your fellow brothers in the Military, doing exactly what you always dreamt of when you were little! All I know is, like so many other moms & dads who lost one (& some even more), we all agree that it should have been one of us instead; parents are supposed to go 1st! But whenever my time is up, even now w/ 2 Covid-19 shots, I will be anxious to see you again & give you the BIGGEST HUG EVER! Love You Forever, Son

Although it will be almost four years in a few short months since we all lost you so suddenly, the pain has not eased nor gone away, not for a minute. The only thing that keeps us going is the pride that we feel in knowing what you had accomplished in your short life of 37 years & the satisfaction that you gained in the Green Beret w/ your fellow soldiers & the young recruits who learned so much from you. We are so proud of you, our son, brother, dad, grandson, uncle, nephew, & last, but not least, husband to Corey. May we all be together again someday in Paradise.

To Our Beloved Kevin,
We were all remembering you yesterday & calling one another, just as you would have done; also, the bittersweet memories we hold in our hearts. Everytime I see your truck, I get a lump in my throat & tears in my eyes, & everytime I watch 'Castaway', 'Pearl Harbor', 'Saving Private Ryan',or 'Schindler's List', I remember those times spent watching them w/ you & Corey. With love & pride in all you accomplished, & for all those you trained & influenced, you will always be our #1 Soldier, our Hero, but also our son, brother, husband, & father, as well as our Guardian Angel, too. We love & miss you so very much & always will!
Love Always,

To My Beloved Son Kevin,

Yesterday was Mothers' Day of May 2006,I waited for your phone call, son, the one I truly missed. Oh, how I longed to hear your voice, the way you always were, Your upbeat words "Hey, how ya doin'", would give my heart a stir. You didn't get to say goodbye to Corey or to me, Nor all your friends all o'er the world & devoted family. Your dad, your brothers, & your sis remind me so of you, Their smiles, their jokes, their caring ways, the love they hold so true. We miss your touring expertise, your hospitality, Your visits home when you could come meant all the world to me. Your projects wait, you left in haste, God needed you instead, He had a need, you passed the test & readily went ahead. Now we're all here & all perplexed, so puzzled as to why, He takes the best, the VERY BEST, our #1 GI!!!

(P.S. We Miss You!)

Love Always & Forever,

To our beloved son Kevin,

This day today is Mothers' Day in May 2006

I waited for your phone call, son, the one I truly missed

Oh, how I longed to hear your voice, the way you always were

Your upbeat words, "Hey, how ya doin'?", would give my heart a stir,

You didn't get to say goodbye to Corey or to me,

Nor all your friends all o'er the world & devoted family.

Your dad, your brothers,& your sis remind me so of you,

Their smiles, their jokes, their caring ways, the love they hold so true.

We miss your touring expertise, your hospitality,

Your visits home when you could come meant all the world to me.

Your projects wait, you left in haste, God needed you instead, A heavenly warrior-He had a need, you passed & went ahead.

Now we're all here & all perplexed, just puzzled as to why, He takes the best, the VERY BEST, our #1 GI!!!

Corey,

Though I only got to meet Kevin one time I thought the world of him. Probably because he helped keep Justin grounded. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. If you ever just need to talk I am here and maybe I can kind of relate because I lost my mother April 10, 2006. Just remeber that if you ever need anything we will always be there, all you have to do is let us know. With Deepest Sympathy, Marilyn barnett

Kevin & Corey, you guys mean the world to me. From the begining you opened your home and friendship to me and my family. Words cant explain how grateful and filled with joy I am to know both of you.When kevin first met me he didnt judge me, even though I was only a PFC, hot headed, and my life overall in termoil. He saw past that, and to be honest knowing both of you has made me a better person. I'm at a lost for words corey, I looked up to kevin and still do. knowing both of you has made a difference in my life.

Miss you forever,

Corey,

words can't express how sorry i am for you, i know kevin was my brother, but you made home together with him everyday, waking up and going to bed, sharing your hopes and dreams. i know what you're going through, its devastating and its going to be tough. you and kevin ("your man") were a great pair,and your time together got cut way too short. you have a caring heart and i want to thank you for everything you did, and gave our family while we were in colorado. call us when you need to,we're in this together.we will visit when we can,and of course call you often.

i love you "sis"

Kevin,
A friend told me last week after seeing your resume that this is so hard to believe because you seemed indestructible, which is the way i felt. its a tough deal to try to figure out how and why this happened to you, i'm still shocked. it will be in my mind forever knowing you drove to work that day, but never to get into your truck again. i can remember the days growing up when you would be right behind me,wherever i went,like riding our bikes out to the trexlertown veledrome ( mom and dad did'nt know it ), that was a long ride. then came your military days, which you accomplished alot.i know the special forces and all of your brothers meant alot to you, and i know you meant alot to them. it was a pleasure to meet some of your friends ( ray,alex,scotty,carl,grant,conrad,b
rett ) to name a few. thanks for everything guys.
Whenever i got a 4 day weekend i looked forward to driving down to N.C. to visit you and corey,the late nights hanging outside sharing stories.( your one liners and " funny sayings " were the best ).the races at charlotte and darlington, the trip to myrtle beach, fishing and treasure hunting with jeremy,recording music cd's or going out to eat together. memories i will always remember as i think about you everyday. it was a real honor to have you as my best man in my wedding ( you did a great job keeping me calm that day ) and also being godfather to my son jeremy. you were a real "WIZ" on everything you did, i don't know how you knew so much about everything. the jeep you built is incredible ( juli wanted you to take her out for her 1st drink when she turned 21,in your jeep ). corey i know kevin would want you to take over that request. whenever i had a computer problem you could help me out, even though it was over the phone. i'm really going to miss you!. as your pictures hang on my walls,which i look at everyday,i know how proud i am of you for the brother and person you were, you always had confidence in everything you did with "the smile". you will always be my HERO. i love you little brother

April 12, 2006

On behalf of the entire Snyder family I would like to express my sincere graditude to all who sent cards, flowers and gave words of encouragement.

I will miss my son Kevin deeply and always remember his smile, his "upbeat" attitude and the love for his country. His voice on the phone "hey, how's it going?" will remain in my mind and heart forever.

His love was Special Forces (Airborne) along with his wife, Corey, in which he had a special bond and his only daughter, Alexa, which he talked about often.

I am very proud of my son Kevin as I am of all my children and of the man he had become in just 37 short years is outstanding.

His mission on Earth is completed, but knowing we will meet again in the next life, a life that will be forever is my comfort.

I want to thank Connie-my love and support, my children, Brian, Scott, and Kerri. You are rock solid. Thanks for holding me together, I love you all.

If the stars in the sky and your glourious flag seem to twinkle more lately-it's "Kevin." He always brightened things up where ever he was.

KEVIN, YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND NEVER BE FORGOTTEN -I WILL MISS YOU.



Dad, Neil R. Snyder

I'll never forget Kevin for as long as I live. Kevin has set the standard for what a true friend should be like. Kevin with out a doubt has touched many lives in many different ways. My heart goes out to Corey and the Snyder family, words can't express my sorrow for you. I feel like I lost a brother as well as an awesome friend. I'm going to miss you Kev.

April 7, 2006

Dear Corey and the entire Snyder family and network of friends,

Our deepest sympathy is with you all. I apologize for the delayed response as we were out of town and could not respond directly or attend the memorial service. My friendship with Kevin goes back quite some time and I will miss him. Kevin was one of my “guys” and more importantly I was one of his “guys”. We shared a bond that connected us in so many ways. Professionally Kevin would always get the task done, back on the team I would often compare him to Peter’san – the resourceful SF engineer in the John Wayne movie “The Green Berets”. We climbed many mountains and endured many hardships together in service to our nation. Personally I knew if I ever needed a hand Kevin would always come through. The good times we had in Germany, Colorado, on NC will be cherished. May God bestow his blessing upon Kevin and comfort all of us in our loss.

With the warmest of regards,

John & Debby Frawley

I was privileged to work with Kevin in all three battalions of 10th Group. When Kevin showed up in 1st Bn from the Q-Course, he was the only one who looked as young as me. I was relieved that someone else was being asked "does your Mom know you're here?"

As a teammate on ODA 043, Kevin showed all the young guys the meaning of intensity and work ethic. And he even managed to convert several of us to NASCAR fans. He was always smiling, even when the situation looked bleak.

The fact that former teammates came from DC and Germany to honor Kevin speaks volumes about how his brothers felt about him.

Corey, you will always be part of the 10th Group family, and we'll always be there for you.

April 6, 2006

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin since he arrived back at Fort Carson in the 3 shop. He was a person you could count on if you ever needed help. I did need his help once and without hesitation he lent a hand and I am very grateful. Corey, Kevin will never be forgotten and if you ever need anything please let me know. I will miss your smile and your sense of humor and you calling me L-tisil.

To Our Dearest Son Kevin,

Yesterday was a very special day for you & Corey, though long over-due. Our hearts ache for you both right now. We miss your smile, your laughter, your loving wisdom,your upbeat personality, & the way you greeted us on the phone w/ "Hey, how ya doin'!" You made the best steaks on the grill with your special marinade and put so much love in everything you did. We love & miss you so very much & now can see how so many others had been touched by you. That's comforting in our time of sorrow.

Some remarked of surprise when you looked like a kid and yet showed your expertise (in true Kevin-style), reaching out in friendship to everyone you met & being a mentor to the young recruits. You will live on in all those whom you have touched.

Love Always & Forever,

Your Proud Mom & Jim



To Our Dearest Daughter-in-law Corey: You will always be in our hearts and minds as will Kevin, & we will always be here for you in the difficult days ahead. There is strength in numbers, & we are united w/ you as we go through each new day. Hoping to see you again soon. God bless you!

Love Always & Forever Sandi & Jim

I had the pleasure not only of having MSG Snyder as an instructor of demolitions while I attended the Q-Course in '02, but also of having Kevin as my direct supervisor in 3rd Bn for the past several months. In both situations I found him an exellent role model and tried my best to emulate him as the epitome of the quiet professional. I am saddened by the loss of my friend, and am whole-heartedly sympathetic to the loved ones Kevin left behind. Corey-- please do not hesitate to call if there is anything I can do.

My son in law Kevin was like a son. He loved to live life. He love and marred my doter Carola and made her happy. Kevin was a friend not just a son in law when ever we get to gather we didn’t jest set around and drink beer. Kevin would show us around town. His smile would let you know he was glad to see you. I will always keep a place in my hart for hem; he was some one spice to me.

To the Snyder Family,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Kevin. I had the distinct pleasure to serve with him as his Team Sergeant in C Company, 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group in Germany. When Kevin first arrived on ODA-032, everyone thought "who's this young kid with this devilish grin?". Well, he showed us who he was by immediately fitting in and establishing his expertise as one of the best SF Engineers in 10th Group. His indominable spirit will always be connected with that sly little grin of his. We will miss him deeply.

To the Snyder Family,

Special Forces is a brotherhood of men who have made a commitment to the men they work with to be there when they are needed, and Kevin was the definition of The Special Forces Soldier, a Green Beret. We will miss him, I will miss him he was my friend and brother.

March 31, 2006

Kevin,

I am grateful to have served with you back in 1994 when we were at 1/10. I still remember your persistant smile. I was please to serve with you again at 3/10 when you arrived last year when I got to know you even better. I will always remember you taking on the demolition challenge of a lifetime when we roomed together in Nevada and the joy that challenge brought you. I will also remember getting you to play your first casino poker game, and that you won and I lost. I am sorry we never got to play again. You will be sorely missed and always remembered.

Ken Unbewust

March 31, 2006

I have known Kevin through 10th Group for quite some time, we shared many laughs and interesting stories. We always seem to end up at the same location around the same times. The force has truly lost a valuable asset and the world has lost a good friend. My prayers are with you.

I was an instructor at the Special Forces Qualification Course when Kevin went through, at the end of my tour I was then in the same language class with him daily. Kevin was always smiling and very quiet the type of soldier you wanted to graduate from the course. During that time Kevin and I would run togather at PT everyday he was then helping me get into shape for a course I was going to attend and I had no problem with him leading me. The next time we met was a stop off in Stuttgart and he still had the baby face but finally got rid of his running body and he seemed very happy and was on his way to work at the school house. I'm sorry I was unable to attend the service Kevin.You will be missed by everyone who knew you and we have lost a great soldier and father, brother we will meet up again one day.

To Corey and the entire family my heartfelt sypmathies. I served with Kevin in A-2-10 for a few years. Kevin truly is one of the best soldiers and friends a person could ask for, and yes I wrote "is" because people like Kevin are really never gone. They live on in our hearts and memories. As to memeories, I recall an exercise he and I (Alex was OJT with us also) deployed on locally to Fairplay to support a winter exercise. He and I were handed the job of building holding boxes (Jail Cells) for some SERE training at the end of the exercise. Well, we were way ahead of schedule and both of us being NASCAR fans decided to go watch the race at a local establishment without permission of course. Needless to say we got caught, took our butt chewing and laughed. I was also with him in Wyoming when we heard the news that Dale Earnheart had passed, that hit Kevin pretty hard. Next time you hear the thunder during a storm just know that thats Kevin challenging Dale to another lap just for fun.

To My Brother In Law Kevin,

Eight years ago today you stood by Scott's side as we got married. That will forever be remembered as the most precious gift. The time we got to spend together as a family was to short. You will continue to live on in all of us who knew you. I will see you everyday when I look at your brother (Scott) and your nephew (Jeremy). I hope that we make you as proud of us, as you have made us of you.

With all my love......Tammy



To My Sister In Law Corey,

You and Kevin were made for each other. He will continue to live on in you forever. You are in my thoughts every minute of every day. I am looking forward to making many more great memories with you! A friend reminded me the other day that as hard as all this is, is that LOVE LIVES FOREVER. Hopefully in knowing that we can get up every day and go on for Kevin. I love you and will be here for you no matter what.

With all my love......Tammy

From the day you were born, our lives changed and were filled with so many precious memories. When I see Brian, Scott, & Kerri, and of course your dad, I see you. Our hearts are broken and we love and miss you so very much, and we will always be proud of your dedication to our country as a top-notch Green Beret soldier. You can be sure that we will keep in touch with Corey.

To our beloved Corey:

Our hearts go out to you as we are home again. Wish we could all hug you everyday. Thank you so much for being in Kevin's life and for the beautiful memories that we all shared with you both. We love & miss you now but will be in touch.

LOVE, Mom

Sandi Eckhart (& Jim, too)

I served with Kevin on ODA 025 in Stuttgart germany from 1994-1997. I just found out he is gone and i still can't believe it. He was a great soldier and a good friend, and he will be missed by everyone who ever crossed paths with him. My condolences to his family.

To My brother Kevin,

I've been missing you since you joined the Army. Now I miss you even more. I'll always remember all the giggles and fun times we shared. I wish there could have been more. I am so proud of the man you have become. You'll live on always when I eat your favorite foods, watch your favorite movies and hear your favorite songs. And everytime I look in the mirror I can see a part of you in me. You are very special to me and I love you. Always and forever, Kerri

I deeply regret your tragic loss of a fine soldier and great friend. Kevin and I served together in Germany in the mid 90s. He was always a terrific source of grounded logic in complex times. I'll miss him.

I am truly, truly sorry for your loss. I only knew Kevin for a short time but in that time I met a man who was dedicated to his work and family. He knew how to take care of soldiers and make the work place one of enjoyment. I wish I could be there to offer these condolences in person but the army has it another way. I pray on this day of grief for you and want you to know all of 10th Group is behind you if you need the help.

We wish to extend our sympathies to the families of this so young man.

He exemplified the best of our military and our truest, dedicated and courageous young men.

All that he accomplished was a tribute to himself and his family.

It saddens our hearts to lose one so young. Parts of our hearts go with this young man, as he departed this Earthly plain. Again, our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies.
