David “Bones” Franklin Swanson was born November 27, 1953, in Wayne to Merlin “Mert” and Carol (Sutherland) Swanson. He was baptized and confirmed at the United Presbyterian Church in Laurel. David attended country school north of Laurel. The family moved from the farm into Laurel in 1963, where he attended Laurel Elementary and High School, graduating in 1971. He attended Northeast Community College in Norfolk where he learned the auto body repair business.
On August 26, 1972, he married Jeanette Meyer of Wayne at Grace Lutheran Church in Wayne. Two children were born to this union, Kristine and Joshua. Together they have resided at Laurel, Aurora, CO, and recently at Wayne.
In 1974, he was confirmed at and became a member of Grace Lutheran Church.
Throughout his life, David touched many lives, knowing and remembering the many people he had met. He has done many trades: auto body work and restorations, construction and excavating, golf cart repair and sales, golf course maintenance, snow removal and insurance adjusting.
Besides loving his grandchildren and family the most, was his love for fishing. He enjoyed any chance he could to go fishing. He also loved his “Jeeps”, golf, Nebraska sports and restoring old cars.
David is survived by his wife, Jeanette, “Nettie”; their daughter, Kristine (Mark) Niemann of Wayne and son, Joshua (Martina) Swanson of Wayne; four grandchildren, Korrina Niemann, Lindsay Niemann, Keanna Swanson and Brenden Swanson; mother, Carol Swanson of Laurel; sister, Julie (Bill) Thorell of Cedar Falls, IA; brother, Randy Swanson of Laurel; in-laws, Sandy (Glen) Nichols of Wayne, Jerold “Butch” (Connie) Meyer of Wayne; several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
David was preceded in death by his grandparents; father, Merlin “Mert” in 2003; and his parents-in-law, Dean (2012) and Dorothy (2011) (Helgren) Meyer.
He passed away Friday at the Hillcrest Care Center in Laurel.
