In memory of
Brian McSweeny
August 3, 1955 - February 15, 2025
In loving memory of Dr Brian John McSweeny
August 3, 1955-February 15, 2025
Brian passed after a 6-month battle with brain cancer.
Known as Doc to most of his friends, Brian was an emergency physician for over 25 years, but his real passion was music. He could be found at jams across the city chopping down the rhythm on his mandolin, or bowing through an Irish fiddle tune. He will be remembered by his curiosity of spirit and his love of a good laugh.
He loved music, and art, and above all else his children, Conor and Claire.
He is survived by his brothers Eugene, Kevin (Adele) and Shawn.
In lieu of flowers, if you are able, please make a donation to the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre to fund research
