Jim Swearingen Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was born on August 18, 1952, to Paul and Margaret Swearingen. Jim proudly served his country in the United States Army and later enjoyed a long career with Armco Steel Company before his retirement.
A man of many interests, Jim loved golfing, cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals, and sharing meals at Red Lobster. His easygoing nature and loyalty left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Margaret Swearingen; his brother, Wayne Swearingen; and other beloved family members.
He is survived by his sister, Penny Campbell (Tim); nephews, John Campbell (Heather) and Todd Campbell (Leah); great-nephews, Colton Campbell (Hailey) and Cameron Campbell; great-niece, Savannah Campbell; sister-in-law, Darlene Swearingen; and lifelong friends, Larry "Fred" Stucker and Junior Young. His family and friends will deeply miss his presence, humor, and love.
A private graveside service will be held at a later date, with burial at Oakland Cemetery in Independence, Missouri.
