Personal Life and Philanthropy
Snow is the younger brother of former linebacker Percy Snow, who also played at Michigan State University, and for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears of the NFL. Eric Snow has stated he would like to coach after his NBA playing career is over.
Snow's ex-wife, DeShawn, was one of the main subjects in the first season of Bravo TV's reality series The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which premiered in October, 2008. DeShawn was not invited back for the second season; according to her, producers said it was because she was "too human for a circus show" and did not create enough drama. The couple have 3 boys together.
Snow founded the Shoot for the Moon Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting and strengthening communities and families within the northeast section of Ohio, through an emphasis and concentration on community activities aimed at empowering and encouraging fathers.

“You have nothing more to fear. Not death nor decay. Here in this cup is my gift of life to you. I’m going to make you immortal. And I, too, shall drink and be immortal. We will not return to Egypt. Our world shall be wide, our time shall be without end. Has any man before offered a gift of eternal life to his bride?”
