Paul Swing Obituary
Paul and Diane, his partner in business, in love, and in life, were married on June 5, 1993 and celebrated 27 years together this past June. Paul's partners in adventure increased in number with the addition of his children: Ryan, 19, Rachel, 17, and Brandon, 15. Paul and Diane are avid San Francisco Giants fans, and his love for baseball extended to his boys. Paul coached his sons' teams for 11 years, and baseball became a positive event for the entire family. He loved his daughter, Rachel, and supported her in volleyball and competitive cheer, enjoying an occasional dad & daughter date.
Paul loved life and did not sit back and wait for things to happen. He had his pilot's license and his scuba certification. He never turned down fun & adventure. He loved time with his family & friends on the lake, riding dirt bikes, or enjoying time at the beach. Paul attacked life with energy and veracity. He left this earthly life too soon on July 28, 2020. He is probably redesigning the pearly gates right now.

I am so sorry for your loss Diane and family. I’ve known Paul for years, working with and for him in the construction industry. He was always there for me, helping me out when I needed it most. He will be missed. He was a wonderful person. My sincere condolences.

Paul Swing was an introvert – said no one – ever. He was larger than life to me. My life is so much richer for having had him as my friend.
God gave him talents; his parents Howard and Jan nurtured and encouraged those talents daily. He would always have a goal; he made plans and worked harder than anyone I have ever met.
It was so much fun watching him grow his business. Early on I would help him on smaller jobs -- I am certain I was the least productive worker he ever had. He was still gracious.
Whenever I called with great news or maybe feeling down, he always took my calls, and made me feel like the most important person in the world to him at that very moment. He congratulated me on successes, encouraged me always, and helped me think through things in ways that never occurred to me. In life sometimes you get surrounded by people who mean well or are afraid to tell the you the truth. Paul had no such problem.
Paul, I miss you, and I am so grateful to have had you as a friend. See you in Heaven!

We worked with Paul and Techcon in constructing our house addition, as well as our backyard landscaping which we absolutely loved. He was definitely a visionary, and our thoughts and sympathies go out to Paul's family and friends.
