Jeff Swenson

Jeffery Alan Swenson, a devoted husband, son, father and grandfather and cherished friend to many, passed away unexpectedly at age 62 on Aug. 17, 2023, at his home in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Jeff, who gracefully dealt with cancer for nine years, remained upbeat throughout his treatment and never complained or wanted it to be an inconvenience to anyone. Born on March 5, 1961, to Bryan and Nancy in Golden Valley, Minnesota, Jeff graduated from Robbinsdale High School in 1979 and the University of Minnesota with a finance degree in 1983. He began an accomplished career in insurance and worked his way up from a salesman at Prudential and Phoenix to an associate vice president at MassMutual before retiring in 2017. It was during his college years that Jeff met the love of his life, Laura, and they were married on Aug. 21, 1982. Together, they were blessed with two daughters, Amanda and Molly. The Swensons first made their home in Minneapolis before moving outside the city to Eden Prairie in 1992, and then to South Windsor, Connecticut, in 2001. Jeff was beloved by everyone who was fortunate to cross his path. He enjoyed golfing, cruising, and spending precious time with his family, as his daughters were his greatest passion. He liked taking them on motorcycle rides for Sunday breakfast, and as Amanda and Molly grew, he supported them from the sidelines during their volleyball games. He was quick to offer wisdom, encouragement and sarcasm in their toughest moments, and he was proud of the beautiful, caring women they became. Upon retiring to North Las Vegas, Jeff used his additional time to pursue his interests and didn't let his circumstances slow him down. He couldn't resist sharing every time he went to the casino and won big - which happened frequently. He appreciated traveling the world and visited Hawaii, Mexico, Panama, England, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Norway in the past year alone. Most recently, he valued time with his 1-year-old grandson, showering him with love and affection despite the distance between them. Jeff, predeceased by his father, Bryan William, leaves behind his wife, Laura Ann (Newman); his mother, Nancy Deanne (Meade) Swenson, of Crystal, Minnesota; his brother, Mark William Swenson, of San Francisco; his daughters, Amanda Jennifer Boyer of Lawrence, Kansas, and Molly Elizabeth Swenson of Fridley, Minnesota; his son-in-law, Zachary Christian Boyer, and daughter-in-law, Samantha Jo Kam; and his grandson, Christian Jeffery Boyer. A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. on Sept. 29 at Washburn-McReavy Glen Haven Funeral Chapel in Crystal, Minnesota, with visitation beginning one hour prior. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Sandra J. Schulze Hope Lodge in Rochester, Minnesota. https://raiseyourway.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=cms.page&id=1023 Jeff will be deeply missed, but his memory will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
