Dr. Mark Snyder

Dr. Mark Alan Snyder , 69 of Cincinnati, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, with his family by his side. Born to John W. and Margaret Ann (nee Heetderks) Snyder on October 18, 1952, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Mark was an orthopaedic surgeon with Wellington Orthopaedics for many years. As a surgeon, he was known for his skill, compassion, and selflessness, as well as his passion for innovation and process improvement in healthcare.

Ministry and overseas mission work were a consistent fixture throughout Mark's adult life. In 2013, he founded Sustainable Medical Missions, a Cincinnati-based ministry impacting over 21 nations throughout Africa and Asia. Mark was active with Hope Church, where he was an elder and lay preacher.

There is nothing he treasured more than relationships with Jesus as well as his friends and family. His enjoyment with those he loved was best expressed through activities and experiences including spending time with his favorite people at the family lake house at Lake Waynoka.

He is preceded in death by his parents, John and Margaret Snyder.

Mark is survived by his loving wife, Carol Heidt Snyder, three children, David (Jen) Snyder, Jonathan (Jessica) Snyder and Erin (Travis) Murray, one sister, Kathryn (Alan) Levit and eight grandchildren, James Snyder, Stella Snyder, Lucy Snyder, Emery Snyder, Kylie Snyder, Zoe Snyder, Gabi Murray and Kai Murray.
