Preceding him in death were his parents, Grover C. and Shannon N. McSwain. After graduating from Oak Hill Academy, he attended Wingate University. For many years, he lived and worked in Clearwater, Florida where he remained until the death of his parents. In 2008, he moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He resided in Lakewood Camping Resort and served as Director of Food and Beverage Sales and Group Sales. Mr. McSwain became interested in Help4Kids, a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is "to provide food for hungry children of Horry County who through no fault of their own do not have enough to eat on a daily basis." The organization developed Backpack Buddies, a program that distributes nutritious food packs to feed children in Horry County over the weekend. In order to raise money for the program, Mr. McSwain developed and organized the Lakewood Grillers Cup in which proceeds are donated to the Backpack Buddies program.
Mr. McSwain is survived by one sister, Barbara Kean of Albemarle, NC; two nephews, Barton Kean of Albemarle, NC, and Rod Kean (Dorothy/Duffy) of Potomac MD; and two great nieces, Hope Kean of Boston, MA and Faith Kean of Potomac, MD; and many loving friends and family members.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00pm Friday, December 14, 2018 at Goldfinch Funeral Home, Beach Chapel with Rev. Dean Forrest officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Committal services will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be sent to Lakewood Campground Ministry, 5901 S. Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach, SC 29575 or Backpack Buddies, 2523 Forestbrook Road, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588.
