Sport is the oldest of four children, born to Loyd and Beth Swoape on October 13, 1972, in Tyler, Texas. An Honor Graduate of the Alba-Golden Class of 1991, he thrived in Agriculture and Mathematics. He learned and developed his skills as a brick mason from his father and grandfather. Then went on to hone his craft where he became a master craftsman, he could do anything. Practical projects and works of art came from his shop. He loved a challenge.
He was an adventurous outdoorsman, learning to scuba dive, spending his time fishing and being outdoors with his family, from beach vacations to camping trips. Sport enjoyed the simple, country life of gardening, tending to his cows and land, and the lost art of visiting, either on your front porch or the tailgate, just to spend time with you.
Sport will be deeply missed by all of his loved ones and his memory will continue with all those who loved and cared for him.
