Lawyer Swake

July 31, 1986 — May 5, 2020

Lawyer loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was a ladies man and loved them all; very quick witted, always reminiscing of the embarrassing times you and he had together and of course, never let you live them down. Lawyer was good with his hands, and in his own words: "l can build a mean pole barn." He had a love for animals especially pigs and geese. No matter the occasion, Long always seemed to be the center of attention.

Lawyer had a big bright smile to match his big heart and bright personality. If you were sad or having a bad day, he was quick to cheer you up, he would give you the shirt right off his back if needed and did his best to help everyone he came in contact with. Long always said: "I'm the jack of all trades." No truer words have ever been spoken. Lawyer had a contagious laugh, which could be heard a mile away that always brightened your day. He enjoyed spending time with his kids Allyster and Moosen. He loved all his nieces and nephews. Lawyer was a member of Piney Creek Baptist Church.
