Roy Dwayne Swafford, age 69 entered his new home in Heaven Wednesday, February 26, 2025. He was born July 31, 1955 in Heber Springs, Arkansas to Roy and Minnie (Tubbs) Swafford. In 1975, he married Annette (Hall) Swafford.
Dwayne always loved horses or anything to do with them. He loved checking cows with his grandkids and mowing his yard; if you were ever allowed to mow you had better do it the right way. If you stopped to visit, you needed to be prepared to spend an hour or two for the stories. He treasured his time with his grandchildren; he never felt he had enough time with them.
Dwayne was a lifelong member of Arbanna Baptist Church.
Dwayne is preceded in death by his grandparents; his father and mother, Roy and Minnie (Tubbs) Swafford; mother and father in law, Herschal and Margie (Potnode) Hall; his son Ray Swafford; sister, Barbara Lawson; and his sister in law, Lucretia Swafford.
He is survived by his wife, Annette Swafford of Mountain View, Arkansas; three grandchildren, Sydney (Aaron) Rogers of Tuckerman, Arkansas, Andrew Swafford of Mountain View, Arkansas; Katherine Swafford of Mountain View, Arkansas; one great granddaughter, Oakley Jo Rogers of Tuckerman, Arkansas; two brothers, Randy (Lilly) Swafford and Glen Swafford both of Mountain View, Arkansas; two sisters, Brenda (Paul) Plumb of Milford, Kansas and Linda (Jack) Fletcher of Ida, Arkansas; and a whole host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
A memorial service for Dwayne will take place on Sunday, March 2, 2025, 2:00 PM at Arbanna Baptist Church in Mountain View, Arkansas with Brothers Jim Chandler and Glen Swafford officiating.
