MARK SWIENCKOWSKI Obituary

Mark Bench Swienckowski, 57, lost a long battle to alcohol and passed away Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at his home in Bath. He was the husband of Denise (Frey) Swienckowski. Born in Reading in 1961, Mark lived in the Lehigh Valley since 1974. He graduated from Freedom High School in 1979. His early work life involved jobs in several area kitchens. Later, he earned a Radiography degree from Northampton Community College. Mark loved wheels: cars, motorcycles, go-carts, etc. So, when he could put his new degree to good use by working as a mobile x-ray technician, he jumped at it. He successfully worked in that field for more than a decade. He enjoyed golf and (according to him) he invented the belt!

If you or a loved one are battling alcoholism, please seek help. There are many resources out there and you should never feel alone in the battle.

SURVIVORS: Mark is survived by his wife, sons Jeff Carrado, Nathan Frey and Jeremy Frey, daughters Autumn Lynn Royal and Amber Colon Fischl, several grandchildren, three siblings and his mother, Sally. Mark is preceded in death by his father, Frank.

SERVICE: All services will be held privately. Online expressions of sympathy can be recorded at: www.heintzelmancares.com. Arrangements are by the Heintzelman Funeral Home, Inc. – Hellertown.

CONTRIBUTIONS: In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Northampton Community College, 3835 Green Pond Road, Bethlehem, 18020.

The battle of addiction is so very hard to watch. Especially when it's a loved one. I hope the honesty of the obituary of Mark helps someone with this struggle. I have been in recovery for almost 20 years and I don't understand why some make it and some do not. I am praying for your family at this very difficult time. I don't know Mark, but his obituary brought me to tears. God Bless all of you

Rest in peace

To the entire family of Mark. My sincere thoughts, condolences and prayers for Mark and all of you. I had the pleasure knowing Mark when I was a nurse at Cedarbrook and he would do our Mobilex studies. He was a great guy with a sense of humor and was always caring with our residents. He truly was missed when he left our area. May all your loving memories sustain you all in the coming weeks and months ahead. God bless
