Ross Swain Obituary

Ross L. Swain, 60, of Michigan City, Indiana, passed away on Aug. 14, 2023, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

He is survived by his parents, Ronald and Carol Swain of New Buffalo, Michigan; his four brothers, Keith (Sue) Swain of Michigan City, Indiana, Brian Swain of New Buffalo, Michigan, Steve (Peggy) Swain of Michigan City, Indiana, and his identical twin and best friend, Randy Swain of New Buffalo, Michigan; uncle, Leon (Mary) Klosowski; aunt, Alice Ahern; and uncle, Russell (Diane) Swain; many nieces, nephews and cousins, including cousin, Pat Flannagan, who grew up with Ross and was like a brother to him; a godson, Jeffrey Robinette; and special friend, Lori Robinette-Alexander.

Ross was a dedicated employee of Sanlo, Inc. in Michigan City, Indiana, for many years.

Ross enjoyed fishing, going to the casino with his brother Randy, and spending time with his family. He could be counted on to bring his deviled eggs to family functions, and to fill plastic Easter eggs with coins and candy for the family Easter egg hunts. Ross was a kind and compassionate person. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by family and friends.

A dinner to celebrate the life of Ross will be held at the American Legion Post 169 in New Buffalo, Michigan, on Sept. 16, 2023, from 4 to 7 p.m. Eastern.
