John "Swanny" Swann

2024

After a brief and unexpected illness, we are deeply saddened to announce the peaceful passing of John "Swanny" Swann, surrounded by his loving family. John was known for his warmth, generosity, and zest for life, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew him.

Predeceased by his parents, John Swann Sr. and Joanne Brown, John is survived by his devoted spouse, Anne, and his beloved children: Jake (Amy), Nick, Ashley (Adam), and Brent (Mark). He was the proud and cherished Grandpa to Izzy, Zachary, Hailey, Quinn, and Baby Mason. John will be lovingly remembered by his siblings Patty Swann (Linda), Ken Ball (Victoria), Tammy St. Dennis (Dean), and Dino Chiodo (Deborah).

Recently retired from Chrysler, John was also a passionate Steelers fan and a friend to many. His open-door policy and infectious spirit created a home filled with warmth and welcome. John’s family extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited him in the hospital, as well as the exceptional doctors and nurses at the Metropolitan Hospital ICU for their compassionate care.

Friends and family are invited to visitation on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 3:00-5:00 p.m. and 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Families First, 1065 Lauzon Rd., Windsor. Cremation will follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association in John’s memory.
