Michael Glenn Swanson
Obituary
Mike Swanson, age 67, passed away peacefully March 3, 2023 after a brief illness. Mike was loved by all who knew him for his kind heart and contagious sense of humor. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to friends for small or large projects. Although a "biker" at heart, Mike developed a keen interest and skill on the golf course. He was a loyal employee at San Juan Oaks Golf Club and most recently at Eagle Ridge. In Heaven now, riding his Harley when he's not out on the course with his golfing buddies. He will be missed dearly.
Mike was born in Napa, the fifth of eight children where he spent his early years before the family moved to Nebraska. He lived in Gilroy for 35 years before moving to Aromas. He is survived by his daughter Katie Swanson, wife Debbie Swanson, son Shawn Shores (Jackie), daughter Brenda Swanson, grandchildren Peyton, Kennedy, Regan, Taylor, Caison, Braxton, and siblings Bonnie Malzac (Bob), Kevin Swanson (Jace Anne), Russell Swanson, Charlie Swanson (Debbie), Stein Swanson (Susan) and many extended family. He was preceded in death by his parents Steinard and Catherine, brother Reggie Swanson and sister Debbie Soucek.
