Barberton, OH — The community mourns the loss of Neiko Swesey, a beloved son, partner, and father, whose life was tragically cut short. Neiko, a dedicated and caring individual, was known for his infectious warmth, his devotion to his loved ones, and his commitment to those around him. He had recently celebrated milestones, including the purchase of his dream car, a cherished position at his dream job, and a move to a safer area alongside his partner Brittany and their young daughter, Paisley.
Neiko was a nurturing older brother to his siblings, River, Carlito, McKenzie, and Mercedes, and provided a deep sense of love and protection for his family. His mother, Alexis Milhoan, speaks to the profound sense of safety and warmth he brought into her life and the lives of those around him.
Last Friday, while Neiko was peacefully sleeping, a stray bullet struck through the wall, taking him away from his family. The incident, which occurred as two individuals engaged in an altercation outside, has left the family grieving and seeking answers. Although no investigation has yet been undertaken, the community and his family are left in heartbreak over the loss.
A fundraiser has been set up by his mother, Alexis Milhoan, to support the unexpected funeral expenses. So far, $770 has been raised toward the $5,600 goal. Donations are also being accepted directly by the funeral services at Newcomers on Canton Road or via Alexis’s cash app.
The Barberton community has shown their solidarity, sending heartfelt condolences and contributions, with recent donations from Heather Keener, Stacey Pinter, Trinity Ly, Ana Paula De Oliveira, and Deitra Arnold. Each contribution reflects the love and support extended to Neiko’s family during this difficult time.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Neiko’s family and loved ones. May his memory remain a source of comfort and strength, and may he rest in peace.
