June 28, 1941 - January 30, 2021
David R. Swadley entered the Pearly Gates of Heaven on January 30, 2021. He was 79 years old. He loved our Lord and was always eager to go to church. He was devoted to his family and loved to play horsey with the grandchildren. David looked forward to going to the mall to “walk” and then have coffee with his friends. Of course, he called his sisters almost daily.
