The Hastings Reminder, January 18, 2014


Sedro Woolley, WA – Rodney Allen Swiler, age 43, of Sedro Woolley, WA, lost his 
battle with cancer on January 7, 2014 at Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount 
Vernon, WA.  He was born on November 26, 1970 in Hastings, MI, the son of Wayne 
Swiler and Nancy Frederickson Swiler.

Rodney is a 1989 graduate of Lakewood High School in Lake Odessa where he spent 
his youth.  He moved to Alaska after graduating from high school.  Later he 
moved to Washington where he remained the rest of his life.

Rodney was a finish carpenter and used his creative skills to construct 
beautiful homes in the state of Washington.  Rodney loved animals and would 
often rescue strays, providing a loving home for them.  Growing up he was a 4-H 
member, FFA member, and wrestled and played football in school.  Rodney was a 
great mechanic, and had a knack for figuring out how to fix things when no one 
else knew how to do it.

Rodney was a giving soul.  He loved to spend time with friends and enjoyed the 
good times spent with them.  He loved having family and friends visit and would 
go out of his way to show them around.  Rodney enjoyed camping, hunting and 
fishing.

Rodney is survived by his parents, Wayne (Pam) Swiler and Nancy (Frederickson) 
Swiler; a brother, Kevin (Karla) Swiler; a step-sister, Amanda (Den Braber) 
Lake; nieces, Jessica Diaz, Jenelle Swiler, and Julia Swiler. He leaves to 
grieve his loss many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a host of friends, including 
his dear beloved girlfriend Leah Hopper who stood by his side through his 
journey.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the 
Lakewood United Methodist Church located on M-50 in Lake Odessa.  Friends may 
meet with the family one hour prior to the service.  Cremation has taken
