The Florida turfgrass community remembers Daniel Cole Swaford, who died Oct. 27, 2026. Known as Cole, he devoted 25 years to serving the industry and supporting customers in agriculture, golf and environmental stewardship.

A University of Florida turfgrass science graduate, Cole was a devoted Gator, outdoorsman and proud uncle who loved spending time with family and friends.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, Nov. 14, at 11 a.m. at the Ortona Cemetery pavilion, followed by a reception at the Ortona Community Center. Orange and blue or camouflage attire is welcome.

Our thoughts are with Cole’s family and friends.
