Tony Snow, Former White House Press Secretary
Conservative writer and commentator Tony Snow succumbed to his illness after battling colon cancer publicly for several years. He was 53 years old. Snow was best known as President Bush’s press secretary from May 2006 through September 2007.
Snow served as the host of Fox News Sunday from 1996 to 2003 before being tapped to replace Scott McClellan as press secratary. Snow brought charisma and wit to the position, bantering with the press and providing colorful dialogue from the podium. In March 2007, a cancerous growth was removed from his abdominal area. Snow resigned from the post soon there after.
After resigning, Snow continued to work as a CNN commentator.
Snow led an incredibly full though short life. You can read more from the Associated Press.
