May your memory live on forever in the hearts of your family and friends. On behalf of Emergency Management International (USA), Inc, we want to send our condolences to the friends and family of Mr. Jeffrey Richard Swanson. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

To the Swanson family;
Our deepest condolences to all of you.
For the 6 years I worked with Jeff at Green Rose Home & Garden I remember him being a decidated, loyal and out-going partner in business. As a friend, he taught me about hunting and fishing. I had the opportunity to go on a couple of fishing trips that I enjoyed very much.
Godspeed to all of you.

This is a tribute to a very fine man whom we only knew for a very short time. His friendly smile and laughter made us enjoy being in his presence immediately. When Mary Kay introduced Jeff the first time to us he had no difficulty fitting in with our family, considering first of all we come from a group of fishing and hunting men...can I say more. He will be missed but never forgotten. We will have him in our hearts and prayers always. We are sure he has his angel wings and is scouting...

Dear Swanson Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have very found memories of Jeff and my brother Jeff Van Steen hanging out together, riding their bikes up and down Cuba road and getting into various kinds of mischief, especially during summer break. I am glad that he followed his dreams and had a fruitful and fun filled life. I know that he was a kind and generous man and I am sorry that I had not had the pleasure of spending more time with him throughout the...

Jeff,
I really did not get the chance to get to know you as well as other people have. But, when we did talk or I heard conversations I always thought, "Wow! He did a lot of wonderful things, he did everything." I wish I had got to know you better but, I did get to know some things about you. You were very kind and cheerful. I never saw you with a frown. You lived life to the very fullness, you did what you enjoyed, and you were very, very loving. You were always kind to me and all my...

To the Swanson Family:
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.Jeff was a great guy who enjoyed life. I will miss his laugh and zeal for living.He was also one tough cookie.

We knew that your generous spirit was an inspiration for it knew no bounds. I mean who else would wreck his car full of venison stew just to give a starving pitbull a decent meal? Friendship is truly God's most precious gift. I am glad to have been your friend.

To The Family of Jeff:

So sorry to hear about your loss. He was a great friend and neighbor-he will always be in our hearts. We will remember his smile, laughter, beautiful blue eyes and always being there to help others. We will never forget his generous kindness when we had our house fire. He was there for us opening up his heart and home to us
while comforting and sheltering our children. He truely is a legacy and we will miss him dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with...

Jeff with a Bass on Honey Lake

Swanny,
I will miss your infectious smile and laugh! And the fishing on Honey Lake with Blake, especially when I caught my first Northern! You were a great friend since BCHS days and many years after, especially to my brother. I shared that passion for flight with you Swanny, even though I do not fly, just the fascination of flight. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Swanson family and friends and to you Mary Kay, his soul mate. May God give all of you the strength to get through...
