Born in Drexel Hill, PA, he was the son of Steven and Kathleen (née Healy) Swartz.

He graduated in 2001 with a major in Power Plant Technology, equipping him with the specialized skills that shaped his professional path. Steve served as an operations manager at the Potomac Energy Center in Leesburg, Virginia, where he was respected for his expertise and dedication.
Steve’s children and grandchildren were the light of his life. His unwavering love and dedication to them were evident in everything he did. There was nothing he would not do within his power to support and care for them, and his devotion has left an indelible mark on their hearts.

Do Not Grieve
When I must leave you for a little while, please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug through your sorrow through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name, live on and do all the things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days but fill each walking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer and i in turn will comfort you and hold you near. And never be afraid to die. For i am waiting for you in the sky…
