ALPINE: A funeral is planned for Monday for Jordan Swineheart, an 8-year-old boy who was struck and killed May 10 near Flinn Springs by a drunken-driving suspect.
Funeral services for the second-grader from Rios Elementary will begin at 10 a.m. at Alpine Cemetery on West Victoria Drive, near Victoria Park Terrace, said Kirk Swineheart, Jordan's father.
The public is welcome, and the family has urged attendees to dress casually or wear camouflage-style clothing – Jordan's favorite garb.
The family has also set up a fund at Bank of America to help cover the cost of Jordan's funeral and provide for his two brothers, Jeremy, 4, and Jacob, 2.
Anyone interested should write checks to the Swineheart Family, account 2185741066. Donations to the fund will be accepted at any Bank of America branch. –M.A.
