Swan Edward Swanson lost his courageous battle to lung cancer on September 7th,

2022. Born on October 12, 1955 to Victor and Donna Swanson In Muskegon Michigan. Swan graduated from Whitehall High School class of 1973 and married the love of his life Rebecca Austin shortly after. He went into the trades and became a master stonemason after a long career as a bricklayer.

Devoted father to Samantha and Swan(3rd) and Proud Grandfather to Olivia, Tyler, Swan(4th), and Maya. His kids always came first, even after long days on the job he always made time for his family. His Love did not stop there, because everyone was family to him and his selfless, compassionate and caring heart extended to everyone that had the opportunity to have met him.

He loved to hunt, fish, trap, forage for morels and spent many hours enjoying the great outdoors. Swan was an entrepreneur who was always ready to follow his dreams and start new business ventures. He also volunteered his time as Coach Swan for White Lake Youth sports for many years.

Swan will be greatly missed and is survived by his Wife, Rebecca, children and grandchildren. Also deeply loved and missed by Mother, Donna; brothers Kenneth, Rick(Rocky) and sister Sandy. Swan was preceded in death by his father Victor.
