Snow, Brian  K.

Age 57, a resident of Corrales, NM, passed away Friday, November 28, 2014, after a brief illness. He was preceded in death by his parents, JoAnn and William Snow. He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Patricia Snow; daughter, Megan Snow and wife Jenny Snell of Wheat Ridge, CO; daughter, Kasey Snow Hines and husband J.P. Hines of Seattle; son, Michael Snow; sister, Sarah Snow and husband Mike Cotton; brother, Chris Snow, all of Denver; as well as other cherished family, friends and co-workers. Brian worked in law enforcement for 35 years, primarily with the Albuquerque Police Department. He also spent several years as a sergeant with the Corrales Police Department. At the time of his death, he was a detective in the APD Academy’s Recruiting and Selection Unit, screening and helping to bring in the next generation of police officers. Brian was a longtime, proud member of APD’s original SWAT team. He also worked in the DWI and Auto Theft units. Brian was a firearms instructor and served as APD’s Range Master for several years. Brian was born in Aurora, IL, and graduated from Balboa High School in the Panama Canal Zone. He spent three years in the U.S. Army and earned a degree in police science from the University of Albuquerque. While in school, he worked security for Sandia National Laboratories. In 1999, Brian underwent a life-saving liver transplant. He was extremely grateful for this second chance at life and was diligent about maintaining his health. As a registered organ and tissue donor, he will be able to help others in need. Brian’s greatest joy was his family. He was an avid baseball fan who tried not to miss a single one of his son’s games. The family thanks the staff at Presbyterian’s Rust Medical Center, especially Dr. Christopher Jones and RNs Elsie Cornelio and Mary Ann Carr, for their exceptional care. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday, December 6, 2014, at Sandia Prep’s McCall Performing Arts Center, 532 Osuna Road NE. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Sandia Prep Baseball Team or New Mexico Donor Services.
