Steven Swift

Steven James Swift, 55, passed away unexpectedly on January 24, 2024. He was born in Des Moines, on July 18, 1968 to Dale and Gretchen (Schwartz) Swift.

Steven graduated from North High School in 1986 and went on to receive a BA from Grandview University. Family was everything to Steven and he enjoyed every minute spent with them, from relaxing at the Ozarks to any family gathering. Steven, along with his brother Michael were 3rd generation owners of Swift’s Trails End Auto Recycling.

Steven was a gentle giant, if you asked anyone, they would tell you that his zest for life was above anything you could imagine. He was witty, funny, kindhearted and generous beyond measure. But above anything in his life, his boys were his greatest accomplishment. His love for them went beyond imagination.

Steven is survived by his sons, Benjamin Swift and Nicholas Swift; mother, Gretchen Swift; siblings, Michael (Tracy) Swift, Susan (James) Fidler and Wendi (Rob) Roush; former wife, Kelly Swift, along with many nieces and nephews and a long list of beloved friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Dale Swift.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, February 4, 2024 from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m., at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Ave., Des Moines, Iowa.

Steven was an avid Iowa State Cyclones fan; the family has requested that all guests wear Cyclone attire – GO CLONES!!!
