Larry Guy Swisher Sr., 72, of Lexington, NC, passed away June 7, 2026, at home surrounded by his family and friends. He was born August 13, 1953, in Arlington, Virginia, a son of the late Albert Guy Swisher and Mary Alice Simmons Swisher.
Those who knew Larry remember a steady presence—someone who met everyday needs with quiet attention and who showed his care in practical, tangible ways. He carried a generous spirit, and his willingness to step in and help was not occasional, but a natural part of who he was.
Larry spent many years as a bakery manager, work that suited his dependable nature and daily commitment. He was also a mechanic for many years and could work on anything, bringing patience and know-how to every task. In addition, he sold batteries for many years, earning the trust of others through consistency and straightforward service.
He was married to his wife, Cindy Swisher, for 44 years, building a life rooted in devotion and the kind of closeness that grows through shared days and enduring love.
He is survived by his wife, Cindy Swisher; his son, Larry Guy “Buster” Swisher, Jr. (Leah); his daughter, Tiffany Dawn Swisher (James Harris); his grandchildren, Trinity Grace Praytor, David Reid Praytor, Cora Rose Swisher, and McKinley Lee Hagler; his brother, Albert Gene Swisher; his sister, Dolly Kay Leslie; his brother-in-law, Thomas Rohr (Jeffrey); his sister-in-law, Drema Hairston (Mickey); and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Larry was preceded in death by one brother; his sister-in-law, Wendy Swisher; and his brother-in-law, Danny Leslie.
