James Peter Sweeney, born August 4, 1965 in Toronto. It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, father and grandfather on July 9, 2021 at Lindsay's Ross Memorial Hospital after a very brief and brutal battle with pancreatic cancer. James died with his mother and brother Peter at his side. He will be sadly missed by Irene (Sweeney) Willis, father Jim, stepfather George, brothers Peter, Lee (Irene Mukasa) and Matthew, sister Monique and his beloved children (with Melody) Douglas, Heather and Kyrsten, as well as his aunts, uncles and many cousins. Jimmy was saddened that he will not see his treasured little Aubree, Makenna and Asher grow; he adored them. We appreciate the outpouring of sympathy of his extended family around the globe and the many school friends (Blessed Sacrament, Northern Secondary, Durham College), and all the co-workers he befriended over the years. We are especially thankful to Dr. S-L Francis, Dr. M. Stone and the palliative nurses for their compassionate care, with respect for James' dignity and family. Our son did not wish a funeral. In lieu of flowers, perhaps a donation to Ross Memorial's Palliative Unit. Rest in Peace, darling Jimmy. We love you beyond words or world. You are a shining star alongside your Oma, Opa and Uncle Pete (Sauer).

I was the Sweeney’s neighbour on Deloraine Ave. for many years. I was so saddened to hear of Jim’s passing.
On behalf of my brothers and myself we send our deepest condolences to Mr Sweeney, his mom, his brother Peter, his children and his family.
Jim you were such a good guy.

Jim, as I knew him, lost touch after high school. But we reacquainted through facebook a dozen years ago. Over the last decade we got to know each other all over again but as adults. This adult friendship was nice as we were able to call each other or just message each other over more recent things than just the past. Funny thing, our shared life events made us appreciate the long friendship even more. I was very saddened when a mutual friend Jon let me know of his passing. I really wished I had talked to him in his last weeks just to let him know that he was a good friend in my life. I think we shared a lot of things in our friendship of over fourty years, even if not constant! I will miss his comments or forwarded info! Friendships small or large are important. I will miss ours.......RIP

I'm so sorry for James' family. There was so little time to comprehend what was happening. He was a great guy and I'm truly going to miss my friend.
