Obituary For Robert Charles Swiech

Of Bethel Park, formerly of Carnegie, passed away on Saturday, January 24, 2026. He was born on December 16, 1948 to Margaret Nelson and Thomas Swiech.

He is survived by his wife, Robin Swiech, his children, Jason (Jessica), Ann, Robert, Marissa (Seth) Spencer, and Elizabeth (Michael) Hutchinson, his grandchildren, Cody, Zachary, Britney, Katie, Donovan, and Theodore, and his great grandchild, Anslee. He is also survived by his brothers, Jack and Paul, and by his sister, Pamela (Michael) Quinlan. He was preceded in death by his older brother, Thomas and his sister, Margaret (Lenny) Ross. Robert proudly served in the United States Air Force from March 21, 1968 to March 20, 1972, as an ammunitions expert responsible for arming fighter jets. He was stationed at multiple bases throughout the United States and in Western Korea during the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he worked as a clerk for the United States Postal Service. Robert was a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and he enjoyed spending time with family, gardening, fighter jets/aviation, cowboy movies, and working on cars. He also never turned down a milkshake or a donut. Robert will be remembered for his steady presence, quiet strength, and deep love for his family. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched and the family he cared for so faithfully.

    I'm going to miss you so much. You were the dad I never had. I know you are celebrating with Jesus right now but it stinks because I didn't get to say goodbye or let you know I love you papa Swiech. Thank you for instilling your love and kindness in your family. I'm sure going to miss you. Love to Mama Swiech and the family. Yins are in my prayers always. I love yins.

    There are so many memories I cannot name them all. I will say this though, from the minute this man walked into our family, he included me and Nikki in every family outing he had with his own children. He supported everything we did, even if he knew it was a mistake. He never made us feel like outsiders. He was the dad that all of our children were lacking when they were little. He was a good man. I love him so much and I'm so sad that he is no longer here.
