RICHMOND RATTLERS: Robert Snead #18
Wednesday, March 8Robert Leland Snead
Robert Leland Snead
May 9, 1990 - February 25, 2006
Born in Richmond, VA, he was proud to be a student of Godwin High School. Among his favorite things to do were sports and activities that included almost everything, especially soccer, ice hockey, roller hockey, basketball, wrestling, football, skateboarding, biking, running, fishing, tennis, and flexing his biceps. He was known to be always joking, smiling, big hearted, caring, loving, a great brother, a great son, a great teammate and a great friend. He was an athlete who always gave 110%. He was truly amazing; stud-like, outgoing, determined and protective. He looked out for the weak and challenged the strong (The above was taken from his Memorial Service Program - a tribute from his family.)
For the Rattlers he was #18 and last played on our U14A Team in 2005. Robert will be sorely missed as a player and a teammate. The above says it all.
