TYNGSBOROUGH - Gregory F. Snipes, 43, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, March 8, 2025, at Lowell General Hospital, surrounded by his loving wife and mother.

Born in Worcester and raised in Sterling, Gregory was the beloved son of the late Robert A. Snipes, Sr. and Sherryanne (Zalneraitis) Snipes. He was a graduate of the Corwin-Russell School at Broccoli Hall. Gregory then went on to serve his country honorably, earning the rank of Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force, as well as earning his AS in Electronics Engineering. He cherished being a part of the 355th Communication Squadron (The Shark Tank) where he made lifelong friendships.

His civilian career was in the field of computer networking, where his skills and dedication made him highly valued and respected. He believed in collaboration and was generous with his knowledge, mentoring upcoming engineers and making his contemporaries feel valued. He was proud of achieving his dream job of Technical Lead, Systems Engineering at Arista, a company he believed in fully.

Gregory is survived by his devoted wife, Nicole "Nikki" M.
