Jimmy was born in Crossroads, Delaware Township, Juniata Co., Pa., to the late Samuel Clyde Snyder and Mary Jane Reisinger Snyder-Shirk. On February 11, 1966, he married the former Mary Elizabeth Matthews in Bunnell, Flagler County.

Jimmy enjoyed family get-togethers and watching his herd of cattle grow from 3 to 30 over the past several years, until his illness forced him to sell his herd. He loved riding in the woods on his tractor, bushhogging the roads and just riding the woods looking for new calves.
