GOLDEN FUNERAL HOME - JULY 2023
ROBERT WAYMON SWAIN

Funeral services for Mr. Robert Waymon Swain are scheduled for 10:00 AM, 
Saturday, July 22, 2023, in the chapel of Golden Funeral Home, with Mr. Bob 
Swain and Mr. Jason Cox officiating.  A time of visitation will precede the 
services beginning at 9:00 AM.  Private family interment will follow at the 
Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Plain Dealing, LA.

Mr. Swain, a minister, and resident of Bastrop passed away Wednesday, July 19, 
2023, at the age of ninety. He is preceded in death by his wife, Tommie Lou 
Miller Swain; parents, J. E. and Hattie Swain; grandson, Robert Waymon Swain 
III; and eight brothers and sisters.

Survivors include his sons, Jason Cox, and wife Elizabeth and Robert Waymon 
“Bob” Swain, Jr., and wife Ashley; siblings, Lloyd Swain, Floyd Swain, and Ida 
Ruth Cowan; grandchildren, Britt Cox, Elizabeth Branning, Katy Swain, and Cooper 
Swain; great-grandchild, Marshall Branning; and the daughter he never had, Pam 
Stokes.

Mr. Swain was a Church of Christ minister for sixty-five years, having served 
the Lord in churches in Indiana, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi.  
He served as a missionary for two years in Cameroon, Africa, as well as a 
teacher of preachers down through the years. He held a Master of Divinity 
Degree, as well as a Doctor of Theology Degree, yet, all the while still 
considering himself a student of God’s Word as well. He preached over four 
hundred gospel meetings through the years in churches all over the country and 
around the world.  He held a commercial pilot’s license and was a crop duster 
for fourteen years, as well. He also obtained his instructor’s license and 
afterward, assisted numerous students in obtaining their pilot’s license.  He 
loved his family and enjoyed spending time when time allowed.

Encapsulating the life of a man such as Waymon Swain is impossible in just a few 
short words, but he has been described as the epitome of a true renaissance man.  
He now enjoys the rewards of his labors and has entered into the joy of the Lord 
that he served faithfully for so many years.
