It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
Tim Robert Swymer, 66, of McDonough, Georgia, entered into the arms of Jesus on Monday, April 13, at his home, with his loving wife by his side, following a lengthy battle with cancer. He was born April 30, 1959, in Eatonton, Georgia.
Tim was a man of quiet strength, deep faith, kindness, and unwavering love. Throughout his life, he touched the hearts of many with his generosity, wisdom, and gentle spirit. Whether through his work, his friendships, or his devotion to family, he made a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
He graduated from Putnam County High School in 1977, where he excelled in both sports and music. After high school, he attended Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville. Tim later became a dedicated business owner, spending the past 23 years faithfully serving his community through Scrubs and Chefswear in Stockbridge, Georgia.
He will be remembered for his warm smile, steady presence, and the love he gave so freely. Though he is no longer with us, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Archie Will Swymer and Virginia Smith Swymer, and his first wife, LuAnn Nail Swymer.
He is survived by his loving wife, Donna Burchell Swymer of McDonough; his sons, Scott (Alicia Hernandez) Swymer of Cumming and Matt (Caitlin) Swymer of Locust Grove; and his daughter, Brittany (Wesley) Guy of McDonough. He is also survived by six grandchildren—Tiyonna, Samantha, Levi, Weston, Addison, and Anna Grace.
In addition, he is survived by his brothers, Dee (Patti) Swymer and Tod (Pamelia) Swymer of Eatonton; his sister-in-law, Cheryl (Terry) Spain of Cumming; his brother-in-law, Ed Travelstead of Buford; his mother- and father-in-law, Joyce (Steve) Hubbard of McDonough; his father-in-law, Jim Burchell of Stockbridge; and his brother-in-law, Keith (Tammy) Burchell of McDonough, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
