Keith Allen Swenson

Keith Allen Swenson, born to James and Helen Swenson on October 29, 1970, completed his journey on this Earth on January 4, 2026. After a rapid, but hard-fought battle against pancreatic cancer, Keith passed from this world peacefully in his home surrounded by his wife and children. Keith is preceded in death by his mother Helen. He is survived by his wife Kathy Swenson, his father James Swenson Sr, his brother James Swenson II and wife Debbie, his children Desiree and husband Rex, Jade and soon to be husband Mike, Kelly, Cody and wife Jessica, and grandchildren Ashton and Abby. And a host of loving family too many to be named.

After graduating from Austin Community College in 1989, Keith pursued a career with computers. Serving as System Support Specialist for both Texas Department of Health and Williamson County and then for 14 years as IT Deputy Director & MIS Network Management for Housing Authority of the City of Austin. His passion for technology extended beyond the workplace as shown by his willingness to build computers and offer technical support to family and friends.

Outside of work, Keith loved traveling and fishing with his wife Kathy, his husky Mazikeen, and any family he could talk into going.

Keith will be remembered as a loving and devoted husband, a good father who made a safe place for his children in an uncaring world, a son of strong legacy, a brother, and a friend. The impact Keith made on the lives of those he cherished will be seen in the eyes of his family, friends, and grandkids for years to come.

Heaven has reclaimed a redeemed son, thanks to the faith he placed in Jesus. Keith was a reflection of the rock on which the Bible tells us to build our house. He was a steadfast companion, never passing an opportunity to lift up or aid those he loved. Those still here are left with a legacy of service to our family and the call to leave all those we touch better than when we met them.

He will be deeply missed and long celebrated. Per his request, Keith’s family has chosen cremation. He had no desire for a funeral and asked that we each honor him in our own way.
