Jerad was a lifelong resident of Southport, a town he truly loved. He did a tour in the Navy and served his country on nuclear submarines. He returned to Southport and was an avid fisherman who fished in our local waters. Jerad could talk about boats for hours, a rod and reel were an extension of his arm, and on the water was where he felt most at home. Jerad was a kind and gentle soul who never met a stranger.
Jerad is survived by his true love, fiancé Savannah Collier and her daughter Dannie, father and step-mother Jerry Wilson Swain and Elisabeth of Southport, birth mother Adria C. Swain of Indian Harbour Beach, Florida, paternal grandmother Pauline Smith Swain of Southport, aunt Marilyn Aldridge Swain of Wilmington, step-sister Caitlin Mae Williams (Jay) and step-niece Ellie Mae Williams of Wilmington, and countless friends that were like family.
In keeping with Jerad's generous spirit, he was able to give to many strangers through Carolina Donor Services and now others will benefit from his selflessness.
