Joel Reuben Swinford

Keith and Kathy, I miss seeing Joels red truck parked outside my home when he would come to see Cody. I even miss going inside and finding ten coke cans all over my living room with one sip gone out of each can. Cody, Ken and I miss Joel everyday. When Joel would come to our house, he didn't just walk through the front door like everyone else. He bounced in. I don't think he was ever still ( or quiet) My child is broken without his brothers Joel and Zack, but I know they will be watching...

Keith and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about your precious son. I remember meeting him at a concert at Oak Mountain in the "box" seats. He seemed to be such a fun guy. I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I will be praying for all of you.

Kathy and Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. I have been out of town and unavailable. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and my prayers. I know the pain runs deep as I have suffered the loss of a brother to a work-related accident. Let these wonderful words about Joel comfort you, he sounds like a truly blessed young man.

To Joel's Family,
The Livingston family would like you to thank you for your kind words of comfort during this time of need that our families have shared. We are honored that Zach was with Joel in his lasts moments. We had not met Joel, but from everything we have been told, they were as close as brothers could be. Joel must have been an exceptional young man and we wish we could have had the opportunity to see him and Zach together. We spoke with our Pastor about the "mud-tracks" in...

Dear Keith, Kathy, Rachel & Leah -
I will never forget the fun times we had with Joel & the honest heartfelt conversations we had. He had such a big heart & love for everyone. I always felt special when I saw him coming my way with his arms wide open for a hug. Joel and Marty had some great talks about hunting & fishing & trucks! We were all blessed by your happy son. God bless you all - Love, Jan & Marty Sanford, Trevor Sanford and Hunter & Spencer Rowell

This message is for Aunt 'Nean and Uncle Hale (Joel's grandparents)...Mother, Emily and I will always cherish our visit in your home last Fall. It was our first time to be around Joel...and he stole our hearts! His eyes sparkled as he told stories about his friends, his hunting trips...and his truck! There is no doubt in our minds that when he arrived in heaven it was a celebration. Whenever we think of Joel, we smile. Keith and Kathy, you and the girls are in our thoughts.

Although I do not know your family, my heart breaks with you. My son died 4 months ago in an auto incident so I know the indescribable pain you are going through at this time. I pray that God will bless you and give you strength. Your precious son is in God's care and will always be in your heart. You will continue to be in my prayers.

my name is amber and i am sorry for your loss and i am praying for you all we will alway love and miss joel with all are hearts ....

Keith and Kathy,
Words cannot express our sympathy for the loss of your son, Joel. Know that your family will be in our thoughts; and praying that God will bring comfort and strength to all of you in the days ahead.

Sincerely,
