Died peacefully on March 4, 2023, surrounded by love after a courageous battle with cancer.
Son of Marion and Robert Sweeney; brother of Deidre, Brenda, Carol and Scott. Robert is survived by his children Tara (Steve), Erin and Vincent, and by his beloved Mona Ibrahim.
Robert was a driven, intense and creative man who spent much of his life pursuing, and succeeding in, various business ventures, both at home and abroad, including most recently in China. He also was an adventurer who loved sailing, skiing, hiking, art collecting and diving. Robert was a phenomenal chef who shared his love of food with everyone who knew him. He was funny and one of a kind, living his life on his own terms.
The family would like to acknowledge and thank the staff of the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, QC, for their care and compassion during Robert's cancer journey and especially for ensuring a dignified and peaceful transition.
In lieu of flowers, the family invites donations to the Cedar Cancer Centre (www.cedars.ca).
A celebration of Robert's life will take place on Friday, March 10, 2023 at 1:30pm at Collins Clarke MacGillivray White Funeral Home (222, Highway 20, Pointe-Claire).
