I fondly remember Mark and the great conversations we had. Mark was a devoted Catholic and often had much to share with me about life, the church, God and man's relationship with God. I will miss our almost daily talks over this last year and our weekly dinners. Mark was a great friend to me and I will miss him very much.

It’s an honor to be able to pay tribute to Mark Swan. Mark was a good man and a good friend of mine for over 25 years. I looked forward to his weekly calls, he often shared how his family was doing on a personal level, it was an example of how he genuinely cared for them. In turn he candidly asked about my family. We also talked about sports, our favorite teams, whether they were pro or college and how they were ranking. We both possessed a love for vinyls/records, he kept my collection growing in finding and gifting me any oldies that he came across. I will remember Mark for his faith, camaraderie and mutual respect. Rest in peace my friend. You are missed. Ruben
To Mark's family and friends, I send my expression of sympathy and compassion. I first met Mark in November of 1999, when I was assigned at Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Tampa. Along with Karl Witkowski, volunteered endless hour to serve in several capacities and roles. He was an enjoyable person to be with and would often and regularly converse about matters of faith and scriptures. Many of our conversations were about the questions of life and family life. He cherished his mom and dad and would visit them regularly. He enjoyed stops at fast food drive-thru and Harbor Freight for his collection of tools and such. HE would often speak of his previous jobs and experiences which were both diverse and interesting. Mark was a great conversationalist and would call me often to discuss important matters and his day in general. He was a good friend to have and I already miss his regular calls and conversations.
May he now share on the Joy of Christ which he often spoke of and fervently held close to his heart.
Rest in the Peace of Christ, Mark,

Mark, you quoted Isaiah 40:31 to me, that "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." You hoped in the Lord your whole life, even in difficulty. Now soar well, my brother
