Traverse City, Michigan - Donald E. Snover, beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away peacefully in Traverse City, MI on May 29, 2025. Born on May 16, 1946, in Binghamton, NY, Don was the son of Earl John Snover and Laura Elizabeth Snover (Hosier). His journey through life was marked by dedication to family, a strong work ethic, and a warm, welcoming spirit.

Don moved to Cloverdale, IN with his family in the early 1960s where he graduated from Cloverdale High School in 1964 and went on to attend Indiana University for two years. On July 1, 1966, Don married his high school sweetheart, Beverly J. Clines. Together, they built a life rooted in love, adventure, and shared dreams.

Don began his professional career with the S.S. Kresge Corporation, the company that would later become Kmart. His work took him and his family to several cities throughout Indiana and Michigan, eventually settling in Flushing, MI in 1976. He retired from Kmart in the late 1980s and relocated to Crossville, TN. Don found joy in hosting friends for campfire evenings, going out to dinner, and organizing garage sales at his beloved pole barn "store."

Above all, Don was a devoted dog lover. His faithful canine companions were always by his side, providing comfort and companionship throughout the years.

Don will be remembered for his sense of humor, generous heart, and the joy he brought to those around him. His memory will live on in the stories shared around campfires, the laughter of old friends, and the legacy of love he leaves behind.

Don is survived by his children, Jeff (Cheryl) Snover; Greg (Debbie) Snover; and Heather (Kenny) Castle; 10 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at Life Story Funeral Home, 400 Hammond Rd. W., Traverse City, MI 49686.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cumberland County Animal Shelter, 782 East Lane, Crossville, TN 38555 in Don's name.
