John Allen Swan (Class of 1996)

Has anyone heard that John has passed away?

what happened? how?

The dirt bag got what he deserved,last year him and two other morons beat my son to death. I hope he rots in hell. One down and two to go.

to: "Very Happy"
John was close friend of mine and I know he felt very bad about what happened to your son because he told me about it all the time. You need to find forgiveness in your heart for him or you might just be the one "burning in hell". Don't get me wrong, I understand the feelings you must be having....but comments like that are just uncalled for. All of those boys were in the wrong place at the wrong time and they were all to blame for your sons death.

For those of us left behind in Matt's life a little remorse would have helped the forgiveness along. Living a continued life of drugs & violence shows that Swan was never going to take any other road. We are just sad Matt was ever there to get run down on it.

He would have been 26 in June.

First of all, John didn't continue a life of violence. Trust me, Swan had plenty remorse. You will never know the shame and quilt that he felt over Matt's death. People need to stop looking for reason's not to forgive. True forgiveness doesn't say that if you show a little remorse I'll forgive you. If you didn't know John then you need to not make comments about him because you have no idea how Matt's death affected him.

I'm happy to say that John, my cousin, became my Brother in Christ before he left this earth! I'm sad that everyone who DID NOT know him wants to take stabs at him even though he's not here to defend himself.
My family and I were and still are so sorry about what happened to Matt and we've prayed for your family daily!(So did John who by the way DID NOT beat him to death) It was proven! He wept over Matt's death more often than anyone knows because he knew that a precious life lost and it was senselss and unnecessary!! The events that took place that night changed him forever and made him a better person. He asked for forgiveness and got it from the only ONE who matters!
To those of you who loved Matt and want his legacy to live on: realize that you represent him from here on out! He isn't here to do it for himself so it's up to you. Your hateful and ignorant words don't do anything to glorify his memory! I'm sorry that you're hurting and I hope GOD takes that away and brings your joy back!

I'm sitting here reading your posts about this animal and just laugh, you are painting a picture of this animal as though he is the Pope or Jesus Christ himself. If this guy was so great how come he was working hundreds of miles from home and out drinking every night and looking for trouble. This guy was just a dousch bag and a coward and I'm glad he is dead! One down and two to go.

To his family and friends "HOW DO YOU LIKE IT"

It's obvious that you have no clue what you are talking about because your facts are wrong all the way around. You've made many wrong assumptions about John. I hope you can find a way to get this bitterness out of your heart because it is only gonna land you in Hell where you think he is! I'm still sorry about your son and I hope the hurt goes away.

I can understand why you are so bitter and angry. I am going to be praying for you. All this stuff aside, I just want you to know that Jesus loves you and so do I. He is the only one who can heal the hurts that you have. I'm sure that you are a great person and I know that Matt was lucky to have you as his mom. However, I will not appologize for taking up for John. If you only knew how Matt's death affected him, you may feel differently about him.

You are a piece of shit and so is the rest of your family. I can't believe that you would be so cruel as to laugh and be happy over somebody passing away you cowardess moron!

You don't have any idea about the life that my fiance was living...and it certainly isn't right to make judgements about aomething when you have no idea what the truth actually is.

My fiance was and still is a good man. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time and it was proven in a court of law that he had nothing to do with the death of Matt...that's why Adair is serving up to ten years. My fiance had a lot of remorse for even going to that club in the get go and has cried to me on more than several occasions about what happened to Matt and about how it had affected his life. John Allen passed away April 26, 2009 in our home and I would appreciate if you have anything negative to say to please keep it to yourself. My baby was a good man and a good father and we are expecting a child in September. His family and I are going through a very rough time and trying to grieve and comments like the negative ones htat have been made are doing no good to anybody. I'm sure Matt's family is still going through the same thing that we are. I'll continue to pray for all of you.

I feel very sorry for people like you that live out of anger....you need to find God before he takes you and you may not wind up in Heaven and you could burn for eternity!!!!!!!!!!
