David Lee Snow

David Lee Snow, 73, left this earth to join his heavenly Father in paradise on March 12, 2024. He was born on November 21, 1950, to Shirley (Javernick) and George Snow in Canon City, Colo. After high-school, David went into the United States Air Force for a time. After receiving an honorable discharge, he married Collette and had two children, Stephanie Marie and David Wayne.

David always had a creative flare, excelling in any artistic endeavor he chose. From painting to woodworking, and everything in between, David created beauty throughout his life. He worked as a hairstylist and a carpenter and enjoyed the creative process involved in each.

David married the love of his life Sandy Eastwood on August 10, 1984. They lived in Montrose for many years before moving to Ridgway, where David used his carpentry skills to build their home from the ground up. They later moved to Thermopolis, Wyo., where they lived and worked for 22 years before returning to Montrose in 2022. David enjoyed visiting with people and learning their stories, tinkering around his shop and attending River of Life Fellowship in Thermopolis. The only thing David loved more than Sandy and his family was his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
