Stephen Lee Swearengin, 74, passed away peacefully Thursday, July 24, 2025 in Rogersville, Missouri, his cherished hometown.

Steve grew up in Rogersville, and was a proud graduate of the Logan-Rogersville High School class of 1968, where he was a talented basketball player and a spirited classmate. He carried his love for his hometown and its people throughout his life.
Steve spent many years working in management at Zenith Corporation, where he earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues and employees alike. He was well known for his kindness, leadership, and genuine care for those he worked with.
Following his time at Zenith, Steve pursued entrepreneurship and owned an Asphalt and Landscaping business. He loved his farm and his cows he raised and was known in the community not only for his hard work but also for his integrity and neighborly spirit.
