Edward Jackson Swain was born on October 15, 1979, in Flint, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rick and Kim (Faulkner) Kilbride. Educated locally, he obtained his GED from Atherton High School in 1998. Edward began working in the asphalt industry at the age of 16, having a strong work ethic until his passing.
