Warren Harold "Hal" Swangin, Jr.
October 19, 1947 - July 25, 2026
Warren Harold "Hal" Swangin, Jr., 78, of Whitsett passed away on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at AuthoraCare Hospice Home.
A native of Alamance County, he was a dedicated family man and a beloved member of the community.
He was the husband of Tracy Blanchard Swangin for 57 years, who survives and the son of Warren Harold Swangin, Sr., and Leta Linens Swangin Boswell, both deceased.
He retired from the 3M company where he excelled as a sales representative, leaving a lasting impact on both his colleagues and clients through his unwavering commitment and professionalism.
Beyond his professional achievements, Hal devoted 24 years to volunteering at Amber’s House of Dance, where he served as a carpenter, electrician, plumber and prop builder. His creative talents helped transform the studio, and he was known as the biggest cheerleader for Amber and her dancers, always encouraging and supporting them.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter Amber McKirgan (husband Brandon); two grandchildren, Colt (9) and Tanner (7) McKirgan; and his cousin Steve Swangin.
