It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news of the death of Cannabis Warrior and long-term 420 Magazine member, William Curley Snyder. Our long time friend and senior site member died late last week, from cancer, at the all too young age of 61.
Known here by his username, NorCaliwood, and by his nicknames Woody and Curly, Woody was a true southern gentleman. Woody worked as a painter, a decorator and a bathtub restorer while still finding time to enjoy his hobbies of fishing, hunting, and gold-mining. His selfless nature was always exemplified by his never ending generosity to his friends, family, and fellow members, as has been supremely evident through his detailed and well documented grow journals here on 420 Magazine.
Woody began growing Cannabis in Indiana when has was 18. Throughout his life he amassed a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge, yet possessed the humble spirit needed to remain open minded to advancements in technique and technology. Woody earned the respect of our site’s top growers and staff. He was also amongst the first people to obtain an MJ card when it became legal in his State.
Woody found the multitude of tips, tricks and techniques offered by fellow members and Sponsors at 420 Magazine to be a continual source of inspiration, and he recently moved to fully organic nutrients as a result of the conversations and recommendations from his peers. It was not unusual to hear him singing Lynyrd Skynyrd & David Allan Coe to his plants as he tended to their needs. As a frequent winner of our 420 Magazine contests, Woody amassed many prizes over the years which he would masterfully utilize to cultivate the finest examples of our favorite flower.
Woody loved our community, and our community loved him. He’d happily post day and night, exchanging information, learning, and supporting his fellow members. His "drive by" comments appeared in more journals than one could count. He had tremendous respect for his fellow growers and for 420 Magazine. When uploading his photos he would frequently say, "Its gotta have some weed in it to make it on topic”.
Woody passed away in the comfort of his own home, in the company of his life partner Janet Shore, and leaves behind his two sons William W Snyder 3rd aka @Billdeskjet & William Christopher Snyder along with his grandson Joshua Jay Snyder, former wife Susan Forrest, and his life long friend Kris Frost.
If you have a memory, a story or simply condolences to share, please feel free to post it in this memorial thread for all to see and remember our friend, William (Woody) Curley Snyder, October 30th 1960 to January 24th 2022.
