Daniel Swanson Obituary
South Bend, IN, passed on 2/4/08 after a hard fought battle with complications of leukemia. He was a loving and caring husband, father, brother and friend and will be missed by all that knew him.
His sense of humor reined even in the toughest times. He loved his family, friends and caregivers. His family and job inspired him and gave him drive and determination during his many battles. He is survived by his wife Judy and their wonderful sons Chase and Ben, his brother Mike, and sisters Susan and Janet, and all of his extended family and friends. The family is at peace knowing Dan is at peace and with God and those that passed before him. Memorial services will be held at Grace Community Church on 2/11/08 at 11:00 am.

Dan, I learned of your passing at the MHS reunion picnic. Although I hadn't seen you since high school, I have many great memories of all the fun you, Doug D and I had at the townhouses on Southern. Your sense of humor was fantastic. I know you will be greatly missed.

Dan,
You were a great neighbor for the 12 years I knew you. I will always remember the 'fun' we had working on the quads, boat, and bike together with Chase and Ben. I admired you for the father that you were to those two fine sons that you and Judy have raised. You are at peace, my friend. Thank you for the many memorable times we shared as neighbors and friends.

"Swanny", I am sure you are in heaven with some of our McClintock HS Class of 1975 classmates. Thanks for the great memories of HS football. You made playing for Kiefer pallatable. When I see Judy at Frys at the check out counter I'll definitely offer my help.

Dan was my friend, co-worker and inspiration. Dan will always be known to me as Mr. GQ. He always had the right look, and not a hair out of place. It's amazing to me how Dan dealt with the illness he had, with such dignity and strength. It just shows what kind of person he was and how strong he could be for everyone. The times I spent with Dan were some of the funniest and most productive times of my life. Judy and boys, Dan was one of a kind and he will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time. Just remember the happy times with Dan, it will make it a little easier.
