Obituary: Rev. James (Jim) Reid Swanson, 88, of Vancouver, Washington, passed away Feb. 15, 2015 in Portland. He was born in Ottawa, Canada on 20, 1926. He attended high school and college while growing up in Canada. Jim served in the Canadian armed forces for a short time before entering Bible where he devoted his life’s calling to the ministry and sharing God’s Good News. He was married to Norma Hetland on 9, 1950 at Calvary Temple in Seattle, Washington. started their family and were blessed with four beautiful daughters, Judy, Patti, Shari and Kristin. Jim’s ministry started as a traveling evangelist, sharing God’s message of Salvation, preaching at camp-meeting tent revivals all across the country. Jim and Norma were always open to what the Lord had planned for their ministry and they accepted a call to Hayward, California where Jim, at age 25, became the Pastor and ministered to that congregation until 1965. The Lord called Jim to a new calling in the Northwest where he accepted the role of Pastor, at Portland Christian Church, serving for over 14 years. During his tenure at Portland Christian he led the congregation into a building program where they meet today in a beautiful church that serves many in the Portland community. The life of a minister is about listening and following the will of the Holy Spirit and that willing, open heart led Jim back to California where he pastored yet another congregation. Jim retired from full-time active ministry in 2010. His retirement from active ministry allowed him to pursue his passion for supporting missionary movements in Asia and India. He promoted the Gospel in the Underground Christian movement in China. Jim traveled the Globe witnessing and preaching the Good News before he finally made his permanent retirement in Vancouver, Washington. Jim is predeceased by his brother, Gordon Swanson; his sister, Hazel McAlister and his beloved wife, Norma and daughter, Patti Sue Arn. He is survived by his daughters, Judy Mae Swanson, Shari Ann Wood and Kristin Marie Heinrichs, his 10 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. A Celebration of Jim’s Life will be held at 2 p.m. , 20, 2015, at Portland Christian Church, 5700 SW Dosch Rd., Portland, Oregon. under the direction of Finley-Sunset Hills Mortuary, Portland, OR. |

He was known as a hands on person and was a thoughtful, precise designer and planner. He kept meticulous records and held onto the blueprints and plans for all of his projects throughout his life. Gene was an early adopter of the personal computer and he enjoyed electronics immensely.

In his lifetime, Gene went on to design and build a total of 6 homes. Gene exchanged wedding vows with his high school sweetheart Juanita Canida Nita on 31st, 1953 at St. Mathew Lutheran Church. Gene and Nita were blessed with their first child Vicki later that year. were later blessed with daughter Sandra and after Sandra, a son, Michael Gene.

Gene will be remembered as a loving husband, wonderful father and grandfather. He lived quietly and intently. Gene will also be remembered for his character, integrity, and for his positive attitude. It has been said that he was never one to complain.
