Kristopher Allen Snyder was born on Wedn., November 28, 1984. He attended schools in Riverton, Wyoming graduating from Riverton High School in 2004.
Kris began working as an usher at the Gem Theatre in May of 2003, and continued there until his death. As a young man, he worked for the Riverton Skate Park. Kris owned and operated Kris Snyder Enterprises, a candy vending business, and in 2006 was awarded the Business Leadership Networks Symon Award as the employee of the year. He was very ambitious and tried to do everything he could to be a productive member of society, despite his disability.
Kris had a great love of music- especially heavy metal, playing his Xbox, going to concerts and attending the MDA Summer Camp in Havre, Montana where he made many lifelong friends with fellow campers, counselors and the firefighters who volunteered.
Kristopher had so many friends and never met a stranger. He loved politics and found his voice on Facebook. Kris was a true patriot, and loved America. He was very interested in history, and was very knowledgeable. Kris was interested in religion; he recently began listening to the Bible on CD and developed a great relationship with Jesus Christ. Kris was recently baptized by his home health Chaplain. Kris always had a smile for everyone and was a true inspiration to everyone who met him.
