Arthur Mark Snowman

WINDSOR – Arthur Mark Snowman, known affectionately as “Art,” was welcomed into this world on Oct. 10, 1961, in Gardiner, Maine. Arthur was a stoic and proud man, but if you were fortunate enough to know him, you’d find he was the most caring and generous person. His witty humor and ever-present courage were the cornerstones of his character that left an indelible mark on all who knew him. On June 15, 2025, Arthur completed his journey in this life, leaving behind a legacy of courage, love, and enduring memories.

A man of diverse interests, Arthur’s professional journey led him to the construction industry, where he excelled in building, sales, estimating, safety, and management. Often referred to as a mentor in the industry, he was well known for his hard work, personability and fairness. His hard work and perseverance were as evident in his career as they were in every aspect of his life.

A huge fan of live music, particularly the Grateful Dead, Arthur was often to be found at concerts, his infectious energy resonating with the music he loved so much. He was also a dedicated follower of the Patriots, his loyalty unwavering even in their toughest seasons. An avid golfer, Arthur loved nothing more than a day on the greens under the Maine sky. His love for the coast of Maine was reflected in his many drives along its beautiful stretches. His interest in family and Maine history was not just a hobby but a passion, and he spent countless hours tracing his roots and learning more about his beloved home state.

Family was what mattered most to Arthur. He was preceded in death by his parents, Elwood and Dorothy Snowman. He is survived by his beloved children Jeremy Jackson Snowman and Sarah Snowman S. Bellavance, who were the light of his life. His love for them was always evident, and he often said that being a father was his greatest achievement. He is also survived by his brother Elwood Snowman, sister-in-law Helene Snowman, sister Sandra Snowman Burns; nephews, niece; and many beloved cousins. Arthur’s dedication to his family, his courage in the face of adversity, his witty remarks, and his supportive nature will forever be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.

We invite all who knew Arthur to share their memories, stories, and photos on his memorial page at http://www.staplesfuneralhome.com Each memory shared will serve as a tribute to a man who touched so many lives with his love, humor, and spirit. Your contributions will help keep Arthur’s memory alive, reminding us all to live each day with courage, humor, and love, just as he did.

A Celebration of Life gathering is being planned and will be announced soon for those who wish to honor and celebrate Art’s life and legacy.

Arrangements and guidance are in the care of Staples Funeral Home and Cremation Care, 53 Brunswick Avenue, Gardiner, Maine.
