It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of Leo Joseph Sweeney of North Delta, British Columbia after a very short battle with brain cancer. Leo was born on May 16, 1960 and passed away on August 31, 2014. He was predeceased by his father Edward and is survived by his cherished wife Shelley, son Riley, mother Diane, siblings Steve (Shelley) Mary Lou Phillips (Murray), Cathy Williamson (David), Ed (Daphne), Jim (Alex), Erin, Sister-in-law Deanne Anweiler (Ross), Brother-in-law Tom Sedgwick (Maureen) and many Uncles, Aunts and Cousins.
He spent 32 years working for the Canadian Grain Commission. His true passion was his family and he was a proud devoted hockey Dad. His happiest moments were being with his wife at an arena, watching their son play.
Leo was made an Honorary Life Member of the North Delta Minor Hockey Association for his years of service to that association. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, September 12, 1:00PM at the South Delta Baptist Church 1988 56th Street, Delta, BC.
In lieu of flowers please donate to the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada in Leo’s name.
