Dad was the best father I think anyone could ask for. He was a great roll model, dedicated to his family. Eric and I had great, and amazing childhoods with him. He taught us how to rides motorcycles, bicycles, shoot guns, bow and arrows. He was gentle and loving, and worked so hard for us everyday. We never wanted, and never went without anything. His lose will leave a hole in our hearts, but I'm conforted to know he will be in heaven. We will see you again dad. We love you with every ounce of our hearts.

Papa was the most amazing grandfather anyone could ask for. I’m going to miss us harassing one another and watching movies together. He was a hard-working and dedicated man. His memory will live on through us. I loved him dearly and I know that he is in Heaven with Jesus preparing a place for us. A piece of my heart is in Heaven and I look forward to seeing him again someday soon.
Eric Swaim left a message on June 30, 2022:
Dad was kind, loving and genuinely cared and protected all of his kids, grandkids and great grand kids. You could see the joy that they brought to his heart. I could not have had a better father, roll model, or friend. I thank God for putting him in my life daily and this loss will be felt for the rest of my life. We love you Dad and cant wait to join you again in heaven.
