Tommy Russell Snodgrass

Tommy Russell Snodgrass, 74, of Lubbock, Texas, passed away on September 18, 2026. Born in Midland, Texas, Tommy also called Hobbs, New Mexico, home throughout his life.

Tommy proudly served in the United States Navy. He loved softball, spending time with his family, and, his pets. His family was the center of his world, and he found his own special ways to show them how much they meant to him.

One of Tommy’s favorite traditions was gifting birthday dances. It was a simple but unforgettable way he celebrated the people he loved, creating memories that his family will carry with them always.

Tommy also had a personality all his own. He could listen to the television at a volume that seemed to make sure the entire house—and possibly the neighbors—never missed a word. These little quirks, along with his love of softball, his pets, and his family, are the things that made him unique.

He leaves behind his son and two daughters, along with the many family members and friends whose lives he touched.

Tommy will be remembered for his love of family, his devotion to his pets, his birthday dances, and all the little things that made him who he was. His absence leaves a space that cannot be filled, but the memories he created—and the love he gave so freely—will remain.
