It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we remember and honor the life of Keana Swafford, who passed away at the age of 29. She was a beloved daughter, sister, partner, and mother — and though her time with us was far too short, her love and spirit left a lasting mark on everyone she touched.
Keana was a light — bright, bold, and fierce in her love for those around her. She had a way of walking into a room and making it warmer, more alive. She didn’t just speak love — she showed it in the way she held her children, in the laughter she shared with her brother, and in the quiet moments she spent with her mother, LaDonna Runyon, who now carries a grief no mother should ever have to bear.
She is survived by her brother, Jordan Arnold, whose bond with her was filled with laughter, memories, and unconditional love.
Keana’s greatest joy in life was being a mother to her three beautiful children — Jayke, Aiyanna, and Deanna. Her love for them was fierce, unshakable, and will live on in their hearts as they grow, carrying her legacy within them.
She also leaves behind her significant other, Jeremy Duvall, the man she loved deeply. Their connection was something rare and grounding — a true partnership in love.
It is difficult to make sense of losing someone so young, but while we may never fully understand why, we can hold Keana close by choosing to live with more love, more grace, and more intention. We can keep her memory alive in the ways we show up for each other.
Keana’s life was filled with struggle, with beauty, with laughter, and with love. Though she is no longer with us physically, her light will never be extinguished. It lives on in her children. It echoes in our hearts. And it surrounds us still, in ways seen and unseen.
We will miss her every single day — her voice, her laugh, her presence. But we will remember her. Always.
Rest in peace, Keana. You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.
Tu me manques.
With love and remembrance,
LaDonna Runyon
