April 26, 1949 - November 25, 2016
Michael Bruce Swartz, age 68, of Harrison, passed away Friday, November 25, 2016, at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was born April 26, 1949, in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of Harold and Dana (Collier) Swartz. Mike was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Dave Swartz, of Anchorage, Alaska.
Mike graduated from Dade College with a degree in music. He was a gifted mechanic and carpenter. He loved to cook and garden. In fact he was good at anything he put his mind to. He was part owner of the Nissan (Z) Shop of Miami for 12 years. He lovingly cared for his wife through many difficult surgeries. He will be terribly missed by us all.
Mike leaves behind his wife of 37 years, Janet (Hume) Swartz, of the home; two sons, Clayton Swartz and Shannon Swartz; 6 grandchildren, all of Pinellas Park, Florida; a step-son, Justin Barnett, of Miami, Florida; and a step-daughter, Heather Barnett, of Palm Harbor, Florida.
Open visitation was Thursday and Friday, December 1 and 2, 2016, at Roller-Christeson Funeral Home for friends and family to pay their respect.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
You will be missed. Love you Uncle Mike.
Wendy Ann Swartz
A life well lived. Peace
Mike was a great friend of mine when we were in High School. We played in a band together, (The Shandells), and yes , he was a terrific technician.
He will indeed be missed!
