The announcement of Snyder’s death was flooded by heartfelt tributes and condolences across social media. He will be sorely missed.
“Today my friend Travis Snyder @thetravissnyder left his post as an earthly warrior and accepted the promotion as HEAVENLY WARRIOR! From a friend in high school to doing triathlons after college to participating and hosting Color Runs to random bump ins, and then random conversations about cancer and bone marrow transplants and Hawaii and life………I always saw you as a person, as the Travis I knew as a kid and doing triathlons together. I helped on the first Salem Tri and we laughed a lot. Time, marriage, careers, kids, illnesses and travel separated us, but social media kept us connected. CANCER SUCKS and it’s always hard to watch friends battle something so horrible. Travis, I know you’re gonna be around because, I know what the boys and your wife mean to you. Maybe we will still bump into each other in random spots! I’ll be looking for you and listening for you!,” a tribute post shared on Facebook said.
