Napoleon Frank Swafford

Our loving precious kind-hearted beloved son, Napoleon Frank Swafford, passed into the loving arms of his Lord on Saturday, July 27, 2024. He was 42.

Frank “Nappy,” as he was affectionately known, was born September 16, 1981, in Rolla, Missouri to Jeanette (Price) and Ronald Swafford. He was a 2000 honors graduate of Miller High School and furthered his education earning an associate's degree in history from Del Mar College.

Frank’s passion to care for others as well as his gentle and loving mannerism led him to pursue a career in the field of home health care. He devoted his life to caring for his older brother, Bing. Above all, Frank loved his family and friends and was the greatest son a mom and dad could ever want. Music brought Frank much joy. He also enjoyed reading, cooking, gaming, spending time with people and he absolutely loved Christmas.
