Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has ordered U.S. and Michigan flags within the State Capitol Complex to be lowered to half-staff on Thursday, Aug. 15 to honor and remember former state Representative Tim Sneller who died recently.
“Representative Tim Sneller served his constituents honorably, and I was proud to call him a friend and colleague,” Whitmer said. “As a staffer and elected official, Tim was a fixture in the legislature. He was a strong advocate for working families and a willing collaborator with anyone who wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who served and worked alongside him.” ??
Before serving in the House, Sneller worked at the Flint Truck and Bus Assembly and was active in his UAW local. He began his work in the legislature as a staffer, working for various state representatives and senators in the Genesee County area.
He spent nearly 20 years on the staff of John Cherry, Jr. when Cherry was a legislator and then lieutenant governor. He also worked for Cherry's son, now Sen. John Cherry (D-Flint).
Sneller became an elected official in 2017, representing the 50th District.
He is survived by his sister, five nephews, niece, and many other loving family members and good friends.
The State of Michigan recognizes the duty, honor, and service of former state Representative Tim Sneller by lowering flags to half-staff within the State Capitol Complex.
Michigan residents, businesses, schools, local governments, and other organizations also are encouraged to display the flag at half-staff.
