Mr Swift died in an accident on the New England Highway earlier this month.
Born and bred in Walcha, Mr Swift, 42, was killed when the southbound utility he was driving left the New England Highway, about 15km south of the Oxley Highway, hit a guardrail and overturned, according to police.
Tributes flowed for Mr Swift, who had moved to live on a farm in Bendemeer with his wife.
He was remembered as a doting family man, who loved his work as a truck driver.
“I have four little girls who are obviously his grandchildren and the three oldest who got to meet him, loved him.
“He was always fun to be around.
“He loved trucks and was a truck driver (for the) majority of his life.”
