Longtime WAFJ/Augusta General Manager/programmer Steve Swanson passed away this week after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Steve joined Radio Training Network (RTN) at The Joy FM/Sarasota, FL in the fall of 1995. There he served as PD and afternoon host until 2006 when he accepted the position of GM at WAFJ (also part of the RTN family). Steve also serve as the station’s PD and Music Director while hosting middays.
Susie Swanson made it public last night, “Steve, you’re home with Jesus rejoicing at the throne, bowing low in reverence with the saints of the ages. Free of your earthly tomb, with your glorious resurrected body. You have left a huge void in the wake of your death, but you will always live in our hearts and memories. Luke and I were able to hold your hand as you took your last breath. Always believing in your healing, but never believing that your healing would be an eternal one. As you were close to leaving this world, you spoke “let’s go”and a few minutes later, “I am ready”, followed by “I’m waiting” and then Jesus ushered you home and Gods peace filled the room. You’ve left behind a family that adores you, friends that love you and a world you changed just by being in it.”
Susie says, "We are going to have a big Celebration service of Steve’s life on May 4th at 10am at Stevens Creek Church in Augusta, GA. No black. We are going to celebrate our Jesus who gives us abundant life here in this world and in our forever home."
