Gene was born on November 18, 1932 in Johnson City, Tennessee to the late Glenn Swofford and Hazel Hacker Swofford.

He was employed in the oil and gas industry by “PHI” (Petroleum Helicopters Inc) as a commercial helicopter pilot. Gene will be remembered by his family as possessing an undeniable selfless love. He was a compassionate man that always put others first before himself. Gene was loved by many, and was an unwavering rock to his family. He was a loving and caring individual to many people.
