The Grangeville community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of 17-year-old Wyatt Snyder, who tragically passed away on the night of October 31 in a devastating motorcycle accident while returning home from work.

Wyatt was known for his kind heart, creativity, and deep passion for motorcycles. A senior at his local high school, he dreamed of becoming a computer technician and was admired for his determination, intelligence, and warmth. Friends and family describe him as a bright young man whose infectious personality and genuine compassion touched everyone who crossed his path.

Beyond his love of technology, Wyatt found joy in building models and spending time with his loved ones. His thoughtful nature and caring spirit left lasting impressions on those who knew him best.

This sudden and unimaginable loss has left his family heartbroken and overwhelmed. With no insurance to cover medical or funeral expenses, the family has turned to the community for support. A GoFundMe campaign has been created to help ease the financial burden and to honor Wyatt’s memory in a meaningful way.

Tamra Gray, who organized the fundraiser, expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of love and kindness:

“Your support means more to us than words can express. The love, prayers, and compassion from this community have brought comfort during this incredibly painful time.”

Details about Wyatt’s memorial services will be announced in the coming days as the family continues to navigate this devastating loss.

Wyatt Snyder’s light will forever shine in the hearts of those who loved him. His kindness, laughter, and passion will never be forgotten.
