He was preceded in death by his parents, Abe Russell and Viola Cross Swann. 

He is survived by his step-father, J. T. Swann; daughters, Tiffany (Joseph) Bailey, Kandy (Troy) Spurling and Amy Boyland; son, David Perian; grandchildren, Brandon, Autumn, Mikah, Sierra and Brett Moser, Gavin and Caiden Garlin and Kameron Bailey, Malaya and Kendall Boyland; brothers, Carl (Debbie) Russell and Tommy (Tammy) Swann; and sisters, Pamela (Frankie) Shields and Tammy (Ricky) Johnson. 

Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, July 2, at Higgins Funeral Home with Reverend Carl Haulk and Reverend Charles Moore officiating.  Interment will follow in Benton Memorial Gardens. 

The family will receive friends from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, July 2, at the Higgins Funeral Home, who has charge of the arrangements.
