Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 30, 2024.

Roderick (Rod) Swarts, age 79, of Naugatuck, CT passed away on April 29th 2024 after a long illness. He found his love Marjorie later in life and was blessed to experience family and fatherhood by her side. Rod had the sweetest smile and never said no to dessert of any kind. He loved to rowdily discuss politics and was an avid reader. His beloved senior dog, Isaiah, passed away on the same day as he knew his dad needed him by his side. He will be dearly missed by his wife Marjorie, his children Heather Cool (Ricky) and Garrett Swarts (Jasmine), his grandchildren Ian, Caleb, Ember and Lily and his brother Bill Swarts (Susan) as well as his friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held May 11th at 10am at The Congregational Church of Naugatuck, 9 Division Street, with a gathering to follow in the Parish Hall.
