Terence Byron Swift passed away on September 5, 2024, at his boyhood home in Indian Trail Lake, Farmland, Indiana.

Born on July 26, 1971, in Auburn, Indiana, Terry was born and bred a Hoosier. He attended Union School in Modoc, Indiana, Indiana University, and The Art Institute of Chicago.

Terry loved Indiana, but he loved adventuring more. He was driven to create and teach art. During his thirty years as an educator, he taught children how to make and enjoy art in Corydon, IN; Vashon, WA; Indonesia; and Malaysia. His dedication to teaching art has impacted the lives of so many students throughout his career.

Terry is survived by his mother, Deborrah Lumpkins Swift; his sister, Leslie Swift; Eddie Glaser; his former wife Salli (Jennings) Swift; a group of longstanding friends; special aunt, Diana Lumpkins Ross; uncles and many cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father, Steven Swift; his brother, Douglas Swift; and both sets of grandparents.

Our hearts are broken. Terry Swift was an exceptional person. We will miss his discussions about books, movies, and art.
