Honoring my dad-Patrick Swindell

“Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, storytellers, and singers of song.” —Pam Brown

On the evening of December 2nd, Patrick Ronald Swindell departed this world after a long and courageous battle with a heart condition. My dad lived a life like no other, always walking his own path and playing by his own rules. He was a beloved grandfather, father, and brother—a presence that filled our hearts with strength and a man whose absence leaves a void impossible to measure.

Over the last few years, I had the honor of helping him with his health, standing by his side through every challenge until the very end. Now, on the other side of fate, I find myself asking for support to give him the dignified farewell he deserves.

My dad was far from perfect but he was a hard-working man, skilled in many trades and always striving to provide and protect for his family. He was always just a phone call away. Yet, despite his efforts, we are facing the burden of his outstanding medical and burial expenses. We have humbly set a goal of $1, knowing that any contribution, no matter the size, will bring us closer to honoring his wishes and settling the financial challenges left behind.

Your generosity will help us ensure his final journey is as extraordinary as the life he lived. Thank you a million times for your kindness in this time of need, truly means the world to me.
