    Hiram was born in Estill County, Kentucky on July 10,1931 to Hazel Bicknell and Dr. Richard Raymond Snowden. He was raised in Ravenna, Kentucky and spent many enjoyable summers and weekends on the nearby family farm in the Red Lick Creek area of eastern Kentucky. After studying at Transylvania College and Eastern Kentucky State College, he began his career and his family in Richmond, Kentucky in the mid-1950s. While in Richmond, he served in the Kentucky Army National Guard. In the 1960s, Hiram moved his family to Louisville, Kentucky where he eventually founded his own insurance agency, Snowden & Associates, from which he retired in 1987.
    Hiram, along with his wife of 40 years (Jamie Brown), enjoyed a long and active retirement. Hiram was an avid sailor, traveler, fly fisherman, hiker and farmer through his late 80s. After retirement, he and Jamie spent three years living aboard their boat, sailing along the full expanse of the eastern US seaboard, as well as traveling to many islands of the Bahamas and the Caribbean. They also enjoyed many adventures exploring and hiking in less traveled areas of the US and the world.
    As his traveling days came to an end, Hiram was especially pleased he was able to return to living on the family’s eastern Kentucky farm in the Red Lick Creek area, a place that held the fondest memories of his youth. He and his wife lived in the home in which his father first began the practice of medicine in 1912, and they farmed the family property for another 21 years. He was also an active member of Beargrass Christian Church in Louisville for most of the past 60 years.
    In addition to his wife Jamie, Hiram is survived by three sons, Miles (Dorothy), Clark (Julie) and Scott (Deana) Snowden; a stepdaughter, Gail Boone Rowan; and by ten grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. He is predeceased by a stepdaughter, Ann Boone Rich (Ron).
