James Richard Swinney

James “Jimmy” Richard Swinney, 47, of Coopersburg, PA, passed away on July 27, 2025 — far too soon.

Born in Lansdale, PA, Jimmy was the beloved son of Jim Swinney and Debra (Koenig) Kurlowich. He attended Southern Lehigh High School and went on to build a career as an auto body technician. Jimmy loved the work so much that he eventually became self-employed, doing what he was truly passionate about.

Jimmy’s enthusiasm for life extended far beyond his profession. He enjoyed spending time with friends and family, always making the most of each moment. In his younger years, he loved riding dirt bikes and sharing that time with his dad and close family. As he got older, that thrill evolved into a love for four-wheelers, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and memorable trips with his friends.

He found joy in his garage, where he spent countless hours working on projects, and he had a special bond with his dog — his loyal companion — and with Stacey, who held a special place in his heart.

Above all, Jimmy deeply loved his family and treasured the time they shared.

He is survived by his parents; his stepmother, Kathy; his stepfather, Ed; his siblings, Heather and Casey; his son, Jimmy Jr.; as well as many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

All are invited to visit with Jimmy’s family on Friday, August 1, 2025, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Naugle Funeral & Cremation Service, Ltd., 135 W. Pumping Station Road, Quakertown, PA 18951. A funeral service will follow at 11:00 a.m., with a graveside service immediately after at Trinity Lutheran Cemetery in Perkasie.
