North Kitsap coach dies

POULSBO — North Kitsap High School track coach and football defensive coordinator Dave Snyder died Monday of unknown causes at the age of 54.

News shared on multiple social media pages, including the North Kitsap Vikings Soccer Facebook page, says: “Devastating news this morning of the passing of Dave Snyder. What an icon of our school and community. His impact on his students, co-workers and friends was tremendous, and he will be missed greatly.”

Vikings football coach Jeff Weible confirmed the death, adding the cause was unknown. It was also announced on the Port Angeles Roughriders football Facebook page.

“Our whole team, coaching staff and community is beyond devastated at the loss of our friend. He was a pillar in our community. Kids looked up to him. He is highly respected and irreplaceable. We miss him more than words can say,” Weible said in a statement.

North Kitsap’s football program had been scheduled to participate in the inaugural Battle of the Bay 7-on-7 high school tournament Saturday at Bainbridge High School. Weible confirmed that will no longer be the case.
