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.

Cline Construction, starting with ITT Community (beginning of the development of Palm Coast) and Paul N. Howard, construction, in Palm Coast. Prior to that he worked in farming and cattle with Walton Kinney, St. Johns Park Subdivision and was a school bus driver with the Flagler County School Board.

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.
