Glen Swan Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 11, 2025.
Glen Wayne Swan, age 75, passed away peacefully while surrounded by his loving family from complications due to Parkinsons disease on October 4, 2025.
Glen will be forever loved and missed by all that knew him. He will be remembered for his intense love of family and signature sense of humor. A fantastic father and incredibly hard worker, he prioritized the well-being of his family above all else. Glen had a passion for food, family, and the outdoors. His love of being in the woods and on the water lives on through his three sons.
He is survived by his former spouse Nancy Swan, three sons Brian (Brenda) Swan, Adam (Jamie) Swan, and Jason Swan, granddaughter Aislinn Swan, grandchildren Austin Sands, Ryan Pennington, Nathan Sutton and Kaitlyn Lundquist, one great grandchild, three brothers, one sister, and many nieces and nephews.
Glen was preceded in death by his parents, Neil Swan and Fritzi Emmerich, and his sister Diane Schulstad.
A celebration of life will be planned with details to follow.
