Mark Alan Swim

May 12, 1975 - December 18, 2020

Mark Alan Swim left this world on Dec 18, 2020 at the age of 45 to be united with his Heavenly Father. Mark succumbed to complications from a chronic medical condition. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Henry and Lou Ellen Swim of Tahlequah OK., and William “Buster” and Macie Osburn of Tahlequah, OK. Mark was born on May 12, 1975 in Tahlequah, OK to Mike and Margie Swim. Mark graduated from Tahlequah High School and later completed EMT training at Cherokee Nation. Mark has worked in the family HVAC business all of his life. He worked as an EMT for several years before becoming the Maintenance Manager at the Cherokee Casino in Fort Gibson. Mark was raised in a closely knit, loving family that exemplified faithfulness and unconditional love. These core values were carried over in Mark’s personal and professional life. Mark had a gentle, easy going way about him despite his propensity for being stubborn and hard headed (which is likely a Swim trait). He was a homegrown, hometown country boy that loved being outdoors and spent most of his free time reeling in the bass on Lake Tenkiller or hunting that big buck at Jerry’s. Mark is survived by his parents Mike and Margie Swim of Tahlequah, his brothers Bryan and Kent Swim. Nephew Cayden Swim, nieces McKenna, Payton, Finley and Ellington Swim as well as sisters in law Kelli and Tonya Swim, and a host of wonderful aunts, uncles, caring cousins and lifelong friends. Viewing is held at Green Country Funeral Home (203 Commercial Rd, Tahlequah) on Monday January 4th from noon – 8:00 pm and Tuesday January 5th from 9:00 to 8:00. Services will be held at Cornerstone Fellowship (718 Pendleton St. Tahlequah, OK) on Wednesday January 6, 2021 at 2:00. Associate Pastor Bobby Musgrove will be officiating. Pall Bearers will be Andy Swan, Glen Brown, John Powell, Kyle Bass, Carter Weaver, Jerry Hammons, Bryan Swim, Kent Swim and Cayden Swim. Interment will be held at Starnes cemetery in Ft. Gibson, OK following the funeral services.
