Kenneth Larry Swaim

Kenneth Larry Swaim, 84, of Franklinville passed away on Monday, October 19, 2026, at Alpine Health in Asheboro, NC. He was born August 13, 1942, in Randleman, NC to Joseph Kenneth Swaim and Dorothy Lucille Julian Swaim.

Larry was a lifelong resident of Randolph County. He was born in Randleman and lived throughout the community, working for many years at Jordan Sheet Metal. Larry was not only a member, but he was the original President of the Ramseur Area Civitan Club, a title he held proudly. He loved to be outdoors, hunting, or racing – anything with wheels. Above all, Larry loved his family including his beloved great grand dogs; he will be missed by those he leaves behind.

Larry is survived by his beloved wife of 23 years, Lola Swaim of the home; daughter, Anita Cole (Jim) of Hickory; grandchildren, Ryan Fox (Chasidy) of Mocksville, Justin Robbins (Julie) of Franklinville, Morgan Cole of Hickory, Katie Cole of Charlotte, and Jamison Cole of Winston-Salem; great-grandchildren, Savannah Frasier of Mocksville and Brooklyn Frasier of Mocksville. In addition to his parents, Larry is preceded in death by his daughter, Tonja Robbins.

The family will receive friends on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 1:00 – 1:50 PM at Pugh Funeral Home, 600 S Main St, Randleman. Memorial Services will begin at 2:00 PM in the Eddie Pugh Memorial Chapel with Reverend Mark Beane and Reverend Velma Allen officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Larry’s memory be made to the Ramseur Area Civitan Club or Dove Ministries, 8346 Franklin St. W, Mt. Pleasant, NC 28124.

Pugh Funeral Home in Randleman is honored to serve the Swaim family.
