Roger Lee Snyder

New Iberia – On Friday, November 6, 2026, Roger Lee Snyder, 82, of New Iberia, Louisiana went home to be with Jesus, his Saviour. He is now reunited with the love of his life, his wife Hollie's Marie Brown Snyder, whom he lost in September 2019, and all of his loved ones that are already in Heaven.

Born on July 28, 1944 to John Luther and Verna Victoria Snyder in Ripley, WV, he was the fifth of seven children. He attended Ripley High School, leaving before graduation to go to work as a brick mason for Benny Rowley. In 1966, he moved to Napoleon, OH, where he began working for Campbell's Soup Company until his retirement in 2000.

He was a master at building and repairing anything. He built houses from the ground up, could take an engine apart and put it back together, handcrafted rifles and knives with an artisan's hand. The Lord blessed him with many talents.

He had a great love for and devotion to his family and the outdoors. He was an avid hunter and excellent marksman. He would return home to Ripley often, especially at deer season when he and his brother, Johnny, would hunt together.

He is survived by his daughter, Jodie Marie Wells and her husband, David (who was like a son to him) of New Iberia, LA; his son, James D. Snyder of California; his granddaughter Kaitlin Comeaux Tyler and husband Tory of Broussard, LA; his great- granddaughter Hadley Jane Tyler also of Broussard; his brother, Johnny Dean Snyder and wife, Latricia "Trish" of Evans, WV; his sister, Patsy Snyder Dixon and husband Brett of Round Rock, Texas; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Hollie; his parents, John Luther and Verna Victoria Snyder; sisters Leona "Pearl" Reed, Violet "Kate" Parsons Stalnaker, Flora "Jean" Reynolds and Frances Comer all of Ripley, WV; his mother-in-law Mrs. Gertrude Brown of Ravenswood, WV; his sister-in-law Marsha Jo Wallace of Williamstown, WV; and 5 nephews and 3 nieces. His beloved dog, Stout, died just hours before him.

The family would like to extend special thanks to Heather Bertrand of New Iberia for her care and compassion for Roger. We also want to thank Hospice of Acadiana and the medical staff at Iberia Medical Center for their compassionate treatment of him.

His wish to be cremated and laid to rest beside his Hollie in the Mt. Hope Cemetery in Jackson County, WV, will be honored. There will be no service at this time.

Frioux Funeral Home in New Iberia at 1101 Trotter Street (337) 369-6336 will be in charge of the arrangements.
