Danny Swearer Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Danny was a master carpenter for Local #90 and Industrial Contractors until retirement. Retirement didn't stop him from always finding things to work on and create. At a young age, Danny found a passion for hunting, fishing, and cars. These things have passed on to his grandchildren. He took great pride in his yard. He had the best-looking yard in the neighborhood. Danny was the one everyone called upon when they needed to know how to fix things.
Danny was preceded in death by his wife Cynthia (Bullock) Swearer of 29 years, parents Wilson and Nina, brother Kenneth Swearer, sisters Gail Gilmore and Marie Kendall and one grandson Daniel Ray Veach.
He is survived by his daughters Monica Basham and Mindy Veach of Reed, KY; son Michael (Jill) Swearer of Spottsville, KY; brothers Larry Swearer of Henderson, KY and Billy Swearer of Reed, KY; sisters-in-law: Rose Bullock of Elberfield, IN, Barbara Bullock of Newburgh, IN, and Shirley Spangler (Cecil) of Cadiz, KY; grandchildren: Brad Gray (Sarah) of Robards, KY, Derek Basham (Morgan) of Hodgenville, KY, Emma Veach of Reed, KY, Megan Powell of Dixon, KY, and Bentley and Landon Swearer of Spottsville, KY; great-grandchildren Avery and River Gray of Dixon, KY, as well as one on the way, and several nieces and nephews.
