He is survived by his father, Bill Swanson; brothers, Gary (Wendy) Swanson, Erick (Heidi) Swanson and Brad (Amanda) Swanson; nieces and nephews, Brittni (Eric) Swanson, Kelsi (Nate) Swanson, Daniel Swanson, Jade Swanson, Joshua Swanson, Jakob Swanson, Jena Swanson, Jordyn Swanson, Megan Swanson and Hayley Swanson; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.
The funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1, at Grandstrand Funeral Home of Osceola, Wisconsin. Visitation will be two hours prior to the service. A private family burial will take place at Amery Cemetery on a later date.
The family would like to thank Divine Rehabilitation and Nursing at St. Croix and Moments Hospice, whose staffs both went above and beyond to make Billy’s last days peaceful and comfortable.
