Alex William Swimmer was born on March 31st, 1971 in Riverside, CA, the son of Charley and Imagene (Miller) Swimmer. He was raised in the household with two brothers and one sister, Larry, Charles and Kim. He attended school at Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, OK, where he played football, baseball, but most of all, volleyball. Alex decided to earn his living as a machinist. He married Sheila Douglas in Tulsa, OK on April 29, 1991, and together they would raise a family of Brittnee, Jordan, Alex, Amber, Jayden, Talon, Koi, and Amiyah. After he graduated, he continues his love of volleyball coaching OKRVA, the mens team, the womens team, and his beloved Red Wing Team. There was a good day spent hunting, or fishing or sometimes, working with his gun collection. He loved any chance to gather his family together, do a great meal on the grill, and be with the children he adored. He was quick with a joke and loved having fun. The Oklahoma Sooners were always on his TV. He was outgoing and loved to hang out with his friends, and in his younger years, could break dance with the best of them. He always wanted the best for his children, wanting them to get an education, wanting them to play sports, and so very grateful for the love and support he showed them. A Christian by faith, he attended the Victory Church in Tulsa, OK. The Lord called this loving and kind man home from his labors on December 2nd, 2022 at his home in Tulsa, OK. He was 51 years old and will be greatly missed.

He is preceded in death by grandparents, Alex William and Maud (Scott) Swimmer and Sherman Thomas and Eliza (Wilson) Miller. He also joins his mother and father, his beloved son, Alex Kanyon Swimmer in 2022, two brothers, Larry Swimmer in 2020 and Charles Swimmer in 2018.
