David Lee Snead Jr.

David Lee Snead Jr., son of Josephine and the late David H Snead, Sr., was born in Salisbury Maryland on February 9, 1964. He was peacefully called to his eternal rest after a long illness on July 8, 2019 surrounded by friends and family at the Corsica Hills Nursing Home in Centreville, Maryland. “Dave Lee”, Davy and Dave, as he was affectionately called, graduated from Snow Hill School in 1982 where he played several sports and loved football. He was a star football player, #32 for the Snow Eagles, where he broke several records and was recruited by Penn State College. He was a lifelong member of Coolspring United Methodist Church. David received Christ into his life some time ago and then rededicated his life to Christ earlier this year. He loved his church and often supported it with his gifts and talents when he was able. He was formerly employed at several jobs before making a career with the State Highway Administration, from where he retired after thirty-five (35) years. David was a people person and loved to have fun and laugh. He was known as a jokester. He laughed and joked even during his last days with us. David loved crabbing, barbecues, traveling to the beach, Ocean City, and fast cars. He once owned a race car and took pride in giving FAST rides. He was a diehard Baltimore Ravens fans and proudly wore his “PURPLE and BLACK”. David also loved to sing and dance. He loved the “Williams Brothers” and one of his favorite songs was, “I Am Still Here.” He could really sing that song. He leaves to cherish fond memories: his wife of thirty-one (31) years, Marilyn Mae Snead; five sons, David Jamaar Snead of Palm Springs, FL, David Lee Snead III of Cambridge, MD, Joshua Damar Snead and fiancé, Talia Anarai Dacosta of McKinney, TX, Dominic O’Neal Snead of Cambridge, MD and Wyatt Malcolm Snead of Cambridge, MD; Montel Woodford of Baltimore, MD, whom he raised like a son; two daughters, Colleen Evelyn Snead and Nevaeh Josephine Snead, both of Cambridge, MD; two brothers, David H. Shockley of Hagerstown, MD and Andrew L. Snead of Stockton, MD; three sisters, Patrica Harmon of Wilmington, DE, Della and husband Alphonso Roberts of Wilmington, DE and Golinda and husband Rufus Johnson of Salisbury, MD; three sisters-in-law, Cathy Adkins of Seaford, DE, Phyllis Gore of Hurlock, MD and Karilyn Gore of Salisbury, MD and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and extended family and friends. David was always happy to smile and chat with those friends and family who took time to visit and encourage him during his illness. He also became especially close to and grateful for his childhood playmate, cousin and schoolmate, Bernie Johnson, who watched over him daily during his final days in assisted care. His grandmother, Evelyn Snead, preceded him in death. Lovingly Submitted ~ The Family
