Obituary For Michael David Swan

Swan, Michael David (Swanny), 54, of Galloway, passed away at Acuity Specialty Hospital in Atlantic City, on Sunday, August 19th, 2018, after battling a lengthy illness. Michael was a social butterfly and could meet and make friends any place he went. He had a hilarious sense of humor and was always cracking jokes, even in the worst of times. He was one of the most giving people you would ever meet and always wanted to help others. Michael grew up in Ventnor riding his bike and getting into trouble. Later, his family moved to Galloway where he attended Absegami High School and was part of the graduating class of 1982. Mike worked at the Pitney Tavern for 20 plus years and Ocean Point Nursing Home as a cook. Some of his favorite things included cooking, building, being outdoors, listening to Bruce Springsteen, catching some rays and watching his beloved Eagles play during the football season. He was ecstatic when they finally played and won a Super Bowl. Mike’s favorite part of life and the best job he ever had was being a father to his daughter, Lauren. He loved her with his whole heart and more than the world itself. He was an amazing father, and did whatever was needed to make his baby girl happy. He will forever be her hero. Michael is survived by his daughter Lauren A. Swan, mother, Naomi V. Swan (Bellanger), brother, James R. Swan (Araceli Swan), nephew, Jimmy Swan (Dorothea Swan), great niece and nephew, Ajanai and Mason Swan, wife (separated), Veronica A. Swan, and sister-in-law, Beth Swan. He was predeceased by father, James A. Swan, brother, Phillip J. Swan, and grandparents Martha and James Swan and Virginia and Leo Bellanger. A visitation is being held on Saturday August 25th, 2018 at 1 o’clock PM, followed by a memorial service at 2 o’clock at Parsels Funeral Home: 324 New Jersey Avenue, Absecon NJ, 08201. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you do what Michael loved best, spend the day with family and loved ones. For online condolences, please visit www.parselsfh.com.

We Offer the Book of Memories™

Parsels Funeral Home offers what we consider to be the finest example of online memorials, the Book of Memories™. Created by an award-winning team of web developers and designers while being led by a funeral professional with over 25 years of experience, this online memorial is intended to provide your family with a permanent place to pay tribute to your loved one.

Far more than a traditional obituary—which is usually published only once and has no interactivity at all—the Book of Memories™ Memorial Website is a fully interactive archive of treasured photographs and stories remembered from their time spent with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

You’ll be able to invite others to visit the online memorial, where they can upload images, share stories, write heart-felt messages of condolence, send a floral tribute to the funeral, or make a charitable donation in memory of your loved one. And the built-in social media integration means they can then “spread the word” about their addition to your loved one’s Book of Memories™ using Facebook and Twitter.

We offer the families we serve a Book of Memories™ memorial website with the intention that it gives you a measure of solace and comfort during the coming months. To arrange for a Book of Memories® memorial website for your loved one, contact us today.
