A family friend said on social media on Friday that Snyder lost his battle with cancer.

Dustin married his high school sweetheart, Siverio, less than one month ago, just four days after their engagement, choosing to not waste any time.

About a year ago, on the day before Dustin’s 18th birthday, he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called synovial sarcoma. Then it went into remission and continued to return a second and a third time. That last time doctors said there was nothing else they could do. source

The couple was able to plan and execute their wedding in just four days, thanks to help from the community.
