Edward Swiney Obituary
Edward proudly served in the United States Navy from July 1973 to July 1979. Following his service, he worked as a concrete truck driver and spent many years working off and on for the Risky family, beginning at a very young age. Known affectionately as "Bubby" by all who knew and loved him, Edward was always willing to help anyone in need. Though he could be a bit ornery at times, he was deeply loved by his family.
Bubby especially enjoyed fishing with his brother James, a pastime that brought him great joy and many cherished memories.
Edward was preceded in death by his parents, Doc and Oleta Swiney; his sister, Diane; and his brother, James.
He is survived by his daughter, Brandy; his grandson, Tate; and his loving sister, Sue McCoy, who cared for him devotedly until his final day. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.
Edward will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew him.
