Snow, 42, was diagnosed with ALS in 2019, a progressive disease of the nervous system that affects brain cells and the spinal cord and leads to a loss of muscle control.
Snow’s wife, Kelsie, confirmed her husband’s death Saturday.
Snow’s father, two uncles and a cousin also died from the disease.
The couple met when both were sports editors for the Boston Globe, in Snow’s hometown. They married in 2007 and have two children, Cohen and Willa.
Even after his diagnosis, Snow continued his work with the Flames organization. He participated in clinical trials involving a spinal injection every four weeks and lived well beyond the 12-month prognosis he was given.
“You never saw him complain about his case and what he was going through,” said Flames head coach Ryan Huska. He continued to do his job to the best of his ability, every day.”
