Charles Jason Snider was born in Maywood, NE, on September 5, 1928, and passed away in Denver, CO, on June 28, 2021. He is survived by his daughter, Diane Helmer, and sister, Anna (William) Moore, as well as several nieces and nephews and their families.
Charles grew up in rural Nebraska and Ft. Lupton, CO, with his parents Charles and Daisie (Gardner) Snider, his brothers Morris and Stanley, and sister Anna Mae. He enlisted in the Navy after graduation from high school. Charles was at heart a builder and repairer of things, and he honed those skills after his two year service in the Navy. He met and married Mary Jean Holst, a nurse, in the mid-1950s and they raised daughter Diane in Denver, CO. After having enjoyed owning an auto repair business for many years, he sold it and built a new home on 120 acres in rural Douglas County. There, he and Mary planted trees, vegetables, and flowers; built cherished relationships with neighbors; entertained relatives and friends; were involved with the American Legion Post 1187 ; babied every stray cat that showed up on their property; and generally thrived until Mary's death in 2012. After her death Charles continued to enjoy the people in his life and his many projects.
In lieu of flowers the family suggest you consider a donation to a charity of your choice.
