LARRY SWIHART Obituary

In Loving Memory

Larry Dean Swihart was born July 28, 1950. He unexpectedly passed on December 15, 2014.

In his 64 years of life, Larry showed others the true meaning of gratitude and a zest for life. He was quick to love and slow to be offended. He was thankful for life and grateful for forgiveness. All who knew him will forever remember his exquisite craftsmanship, his passion for Harley and Indian Motorcycles, his incredible talent for cooking and his love of beautiful people. He felt most at peace when he was near sandy beaches, the waters of the San Juans or basking in the glow of sunsets.

Larry leaves behind a legacy for us all to carry on: WORK HARD. LIVE PASSIONATELY. LOVE EAGERLY. REST WELL. Yes, rest well, Larry. We will miss you.

Please join Larry's many family members and friends as they celebrate his life on May 30, 2015. For more information, please send inquiries to: [email protected].

Dearest Larry, I have so many memories of you...some awesome & some not lol! But that's what life is all about, right? Years ago I wouldn't have had nice things to say but today I am older & I hope wiser & I want to tell you how much I loved you & those wonderful fun times we had together...even if only for a short time. Those memories will never die. A special place in my heart is always there for you. Rest In Peace Larry. God Bless.
