Timothy James Sneed, of Kansas City, Missouri,  passed away on May 13, 2026.

 Tim was born on  June 30,1993 to Diona Sneed Kern and James Sneed. He graduated from North Kansas City High School in 2012. His love of animals led him towards a career at Shoal Creek Animal Hospital (AKA CareVet).Tim lived a full and vibrant life filled with loads of laughter, many family vacations, countless, tricks and jokes, and just good clean fun. He left a sparkle wherever he went; OK, maybe it was actual sparks because he had a knack for tinkering with electronics and fireworks. He enjoyed decorating everything in lights, playing video games with his nephew, late night drives that led to nowhere, runs to Starbucks, music, family, friends and animals; but more than anything else, Tim enjoyed spending time with his best friend and companion, Austin Bowman. His happiest moments were the ones that included being with Austin. They were truly the best fit for each other. To all of us, especially Austin, Tim was a genius and a hero. He was faithful and loyal to everyone he loved. He was nothing short of an amazing human being. To know Timothy James Sneed was to love him. He will be deeply missed by his companion,  Austin Bowman; parents,  James and Rachel Sneed and Diona and Brian Kern; siblings,  Bobby and Ally Kern, Matthew Sneed, Jayme Sneed,  Jessie and Katie Lear, and Christopher Gleason; nieces and nephews,  Chase, Liam and Emersyn Kern, Jordan and KayleeAna Sneed, and Mason Lear;  and many extended family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church. Please check back for updated service details.  In lieu of flowers,  contributions may be made to CareVet of Shoal Creek.

Tim, we will forever love you. Until we meet again.
