John D. Swan

He was born July 18, 1959, in Jamestown, a son of the late Vernis and Leonore (Thoren) Swan.

He was a 1978 graduate of Cassadaga High School and later earned a bachelor’s degree from SUNY Brockport.

While living in Rochester, he frequented his family’s restaurants providing color and character to interactions of all kinds.

John will be remembered for his lighthearted manner, sense of humor and for his way of looking at the world. He had a love of food especially when he could spice it up a little bit.

Surviving are three children, Jonathan (Sarah) Swan, Ashley (Brad Abramson) Swan, Paulina (Ryan Daggs) Swan; grandchildren Grace, John and Will Swan, Smith, Oliver and Nellie Abramson and Harlow Daggs; siblings Dennis (Debbie) Swan and Greg (Cindy) Swan and several nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved sister Cathy Huntington.

There will be a gathering of family and friends on Sunday, April 6 from 2-4 pm at The Alexander at 282 Alexander St. Rochester, NY 14607.

Burial service at Sunset Hill Cemetery in Lakewood, NY will be announced at a later date.
