David Lee Swanson was the youngest of seven children born to Gust Eric and Annie (Nelson) Swanson on August 2, 1943.
He passed away at the age of 77 years and nine days at Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha after a short illness.
David was born and lived his life on a farm west of Wausa. His education began in a country school and he graduated from Wausa High School. After graduation, he attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.
David was a loyal Wausa Viking fan and enjoyed attending football and basketball games. He was proud of Wausa and his Swedish heritage. He was also a big Husker fan and enjoyed following the different sports and games via radio and television. Summertime found David enjoying the baseball season, cheering on the Chicago Cubs. He also looked forward to attending the Knox County Fair and the evening entertainment.
David’s family was very important to him. He was so faithful at remembering birthdays and anniversaries, sending cards, giving gifts, celebrating holidays, sending boxes of Easter candy, making Christmas candy, decorating the home for the holidays, and decorating the graves for Memorial Day. One of his strengths was “family tradition.” He will be greatly missed by all of us!
