Joshua Todd Swanson, 37, of Prairie Grove; went to his Heavenly eternal home with Jesus on Sunday, December 24, 2023. He was born Wednesday, December 3, 1986, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; to Kerry Todd and Sheilah Ann Tillman Swanson. God blessed Josh with an extraordinary abundance of talent, and his proficiency extended to almost every task he undertook. A profound connection with the outdoors was evident in his expertise as a fisherman, his skill as a motorcyclist, and his zest for exploration. A self-taught guitarist, Josh loved playing his guitar. Josh's fascination with God's creation of Earth and sky was palpable, especially when he searched the night sky. His commitment to spiritual growth was reflected in his leadership of Bible studies with co-workers, leaving a lasting impact on those around him. He was a loving father to his son, Todd, and his step-son, Asher. His family finds comfort in the belief that he continues to serve his Savior in Heaven. In addition to his talents, Josh's quick wit was a constant source of joy, and the timing of his dry humor was unparalleled. Most precious of all was the genuine love he brought to everyone around him. A man of strength with a tender heart, Josh touched the lives of all who crossed his path. His circle will grow forever. Joshua was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Clarence Tillman. He is survived by his son, Todd Swanson, of Prairie Grove; his parents, Kerry and Sheilah Swanson, of Huntsville; one brother and sister-in-law, Jacob and Jenny Swanson, of Cassville, Missouri; one sister and brother-in-law, Kerrah and Josh Drake, of Springdale. He is also survived by his grandparents Bernice Tillman, and Ben and Marlene Swanson, all of Coweta, Oklahoma, the special person that he loved, Megan Saylor; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and nieces. The family will receive friends 5:00 PM-7:00 PM, Thursday, December 28, 2023, at Brashears Funeral Home. Private interment will be at Rockhouse Cemetery at a later date. Pallbearers will be Jacob Swanson, Kenneth Townsend, Josh Drake, Weston Keene, Myles Madden, and Landon Drake. Services are entrusted to Brashears Funeral Home and Crematory of Huntsville.
