Gary Robert Swanson

It's hard to lose a parent. I know you have many fond memories of what appears to be a great man.

Oh Andy, Trevor and Kimberly, I just heard about Gary and I am so, so very sorry for your sudden lost. I treasure the memories I spent with you, Andy, and Gary at your ranch. May your memories of your life of love and adventure together and the blessed assurance of our Father's love and eternal life give you peace at this time. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I add my name to the long list of friends who, when going through a rough time, had Gary and Andy come through with encouragement, humor and big shoulders. My deepest sympathy to the family especially Andy...faithful wife and lover of all things Gary.

We were saddened to hear of your loss. Find solace and comfort in your wonderful memories. Thinking of you.

Thinking and praying for you Andy, Kim, and Trevor. So glad Dad and Mom could be there with you during this time. I'll never forget the time Gary did a zulu blessing on my fishing lure and I immediately caught a fish. He was an extraordinary man. Love to you all.

Uncle Gary will be greatly missed. He's the one who taught me to love elephants and mix paint.

Now he has something new to paint for us. I wonder what his vision of heaven will look like? Knowing Gary, it will be a mgnificent painting! You are missed, Gary.
