John Everett Swaim

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of John Everett Swaim, 60, of Thomasville, on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at his residence in Thomasville.

John was born February 14, 1965 to Austin Tomlinson “Tommy” Swaim, Jr. and Josephine Walker Swaim in Davidson County. He was a member of Fair Grove Church and a 1983 graduate of East Davidson High School. He was an accomplished carpenter and craftsman. John never met a stranger and made numerous friends over the years. With his generous heart, he would always go the extra mile to help anyone he could, especially his friends who meant so much to him. His legacy of hard work and craftsmanship will live on. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, friend, and loved child of God. He is now in the presence of his loving Heavenly Father.
