Colin Snodgrass Obituary

Colin Moffatt Snodgrass

A native of Missoula and beloved member of our community, died suddenly and unexpectedly September 27, 2023 at the age of 33, in Missoula.

The son of Bob Snodgrass and Roseann Moffatt, Colin loved his big extended family. He had so many beautiful people around him. Besides his parents he leaves behind the love of his life and soul mate, Emily Jean Wilson, her parents, John and Margie Wilson, his brother and best friend, Derek Snodgrass, many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and countless close friends and teammates. All were adored by him.

Most recently he had started his own construction company and was coaching Sentinal JV boys soccer with his close friend, varsity coach Justin Mikkola. Justin said, "He fostered a great group of people around him, always looked out for the best for the groups he was part of and made us all stronger with his own strength and compassion. Colin appreciated the simplest, best things. Running with the dogs in the mountains, doing some push-ups with the team, and being with the people he loved."

A gathering to celebrate his life will be held October 14th at 4 PM at the Missoula County Fairground's Glacier Ice Rink outdoor rink. A private open skate will be available from 8-9 PM following the gathering. Skate rental available.
