Rudolph Carl Snable Jr., lovingly known as Rudy, went home to be with the Lord peacefully on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in Punta Gorda, Florida, surrounded by a lifetime of love and cherished memories.

Rudy was born on March 12, 1942, in Bay City, Michigan, to Rudolph Carl Snable Sr. and Virginia Ann (Fuhr) Snable. He graduated from Handy High School and went on to build a long and successful career with General Motors in Bay City, retiring in 2000 as a superintendent. Throughout his career, Rudy was known for his strong work ethic, integrity, and natural leadership.

On March 7, 1964, Rudy married the love of his life, Beverly (Silvernale) Snable, in Bay City, Michigan. Together, they shared 62 wonderful years of marriage, building a beautiful life centered on faith, family, friendship, and love. Their enduring devotion to one another was an inspiration to all who knew them. Above all, Rudy was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, cherished brother, son and loyal friend. He had a deep love for his family and treasured every moment spent together. A man of quiet but unwavering faith, Rudy loved the Lord and lived his life with kindness, humility, strength, and genuine concern for others. He led by example, leaving a lasting impression on the many lives he touched.

An avid and accomplished golfer, Rudy had a lifelong passion for the game. He proudly held the course record of 62 at Green Hills Golf Course for many years, a remarkable achievement that reflected both his talent and dedication. Golf brought him great joy, but even more meaningful were the friendships and memories made along the way. During his retirement years in Punta Gorda, Florida, Rudy enjoyed the sunshine, the golf course, and the company of dear friends and family. Rudy leaves behind a lifetime of wonderful memories that will forever be treasured by those who loved him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Beverly; his children, Scott and Gail (Stahl) Snable and their children, Alexandra (Snable) and Christopher Cerk, and Madison (Snable) and Simeon Richards; Stephanie (Snable) and Chris McCrumb and their children, Maxwell and McKenzie (Mac) McCrumb, Samuel, Benjamin and his fiancée, Megan Walczak, and Kyle and Christie McCrumb; and Shawn and Jennifer (Doublestein) Snable and their children, Andrew, Noah, Joshua, and Abigail Snable. He is also survived by his brother, Jim Snable, along with many cherished family members and dear friends.

Rudy was preceded in death by his parents, Rudolph Carl Snable Sr. and Virginia Ann Snable; his brothers, Ronald and Jerry Snable; and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Clarence and Blanche (Kemp) Silvernale.
