Robert Beauford Swann
Augusta, GA - Robert Beauford Swann (Bob), beloved father of Russell and Ryan Swann, entered into rest on April 27, 2014, at his residence in Augusta at the age of 49.
Bob was born on October 13, 1964, to the late Walter E. Swann, Jr. and Annie Laura Hillman Swann. He attended Augusta schools, graduating from Richmond Academy. He attended Georgia Southern University and Augusta Technical College where he earned an Associate’s degree. He had a long career as an electrician for major industry in the area. He was a loyal father, brother, and friend. He was a great fan of the Georgia Bulldogs. One of his great pleasures was going to the lake, enjoying water sports, camping, and time with friends.
