Randy Swingle

Randy Lee Swingle was born in Columbus Ohio in 1952. Although he lived in many places during his life, he was an unwavering Buckeye . There is no doubt that Randy was the biggest Ohio State fan on the planet. If he wasn’t dressed up for a special occasion, you can bet he was wearing his patented scarlet and gray. If ever a stranger was heard yelling “O-H!” Randy was the first to holler back “I-O!” His love for the Buckeyes was strong but still did not compare to his love for his wife Victoria.
He died on January 21st after a short illness.
His love of music as well as his experiences with his “garage band” was the foundation for an early radio career. His vast knowledge of music made him unbeatable in “Who is singing on this record?”, followed closely by “ What was on the flip side of this 45 RPM record.?”
After moving to Richmond, Indiana Randy began a second career managing truck stops and convenience stores. In 2001 he married Victoria Thompson and settled in Fishers, Indiana. Together they built a life together attending Christian concerts, riding bikes, walking the beaches of Florida and singing together as Worship Leaders at The Promise UMC. Spoiling our grandchildren was also a priority.
At the time of his death he was the District Leader of Loss and Prevention for Giant Eagle. He loved his job and was beloved by all who knew him.
Randy leaves behind a grateful and blessed wife of 20 years, Victoria, A daughter (Bethany), His brother Gary (Sheryl), two step sons ( Jeremy and Bradley), as well as three grandsons
( Braxton, Jordan and Jasper), who he adored with all of his heart. “Papa “ was always ready to participate in a nerf gun battle, hide and seek or full body wrestling.
