Ronald M. Swift

August 3, 1938 - May 25, 2021

Ronald M. Swift, age 82, of Farmington Hills, died Tuesday May 25, 2021. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, May 29, 2021, at the Gospel Center of Davisburg United Methodist Church, 803 Broadway, Davisburg, with the burial being held at the Davisburg Cemetery in Davisburg. Visitation will be held at the Gospel Center from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, May 28, 2021, and on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service. Mr. Swift was born in Sarnia, Ontario (Canada) on August 3, 1938 to Charles and Mildred (Kirk) Swift. He was a beloved husband and father and was retired from Rochester Community Schools. Ron’s Christian faith was extremely important to him. He and Cheryl were fortunate to have served on three mission trips to the Rio area of Brazil. Ron had a servant’s heart and radiated joy which was evident in his ever-present smile and kindness he exuded. After retirement, he took great enjoyment serving as a substitute teacher at Holly High School, being affectionally referred to as “The Chicken Soup Teacher.” He rarely missed one of his kids or grandkids’ sporting events and was an avid photographer, including time as a freelance wedding photographer. Surviving are his wife Cheryl; two children Elizabeth “Libby” (Ron) Smith and Richard (Valerie) Rousseaux Swift; three grandchildren, Erica Evans (Dallas) Williams, William H. (Ashley) Evans, III, and Bradley C. Swift; and one great-grandson Levi Quincy Williams. He was proceeded in death by his sister Marilyn R. Rose. The family would appreciate memorial contributions to the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org/gmc www.dryerfuneralhomeholly.com
