Jonathan J. Sweeney

Jonathan J. Sweeney

July 22, 1939 ~ September 16, 2022

Jonathan J. Sweeney, Jupiter Florida, entered his Savior’s presence September 16,
2022, in Palm Beach Gardens Florida, after a courageous battle with Parkinson’s
Disease. He was born July 22, 1939, in New Eagle, Pennsylvania. He had also
resided in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, and Indian Trail, North Carolina.
He was preceded in death by his parents, James W. and Tressa Sweeney, and a
brother, Don Sweeney (Marie). He is survived by his loving wife Carolyn
(Wineland) Sweeney, a brother, James L. Sweeney (Valerie) of Texas, a sister,
Violet Douglass (Paul – deceased) of Maryland, a son, James Anthony Sweeney
(Laura) of West Virginia, and daughter Carol Jones (Thomas) of Jupiter. He also
leaves behind to cherish his memory two grandchildren Kristin and Jordan, and
four great-grandchildren, Reagan, Caroline, Madeline, and Harper, all of whom he
adored.
After a two-year term as a U.S. Navy Corpsman, Jon Sweeney provided many
years of dedicated service as a registered nurse for the American Bridge division
of U.S. Steel Corporation, at the DT Watson Home for Crippled Children, and in
the office of the Ambridge Health Department. He retired from Allegheny General
Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he provided compassionate care in
the Children’s and Adolescent Unit. Jon was a kind, gentle and caring man who was loved by all who knew him. He
enjoyed spending time with family, flower gardening and listening to his wife,
Carolyn, play piano. He was a member of the Sewickley Baptist Church for more than 30 years where
he also served as Trustee and a member of the choir. While in North Carolina, he
was a member of First Baptist Church of Indian Trail.

A private memorial service will be held at Tequesta First Baptist Church, with
Pastor Michael Richardson officiating.

What can I say about Jon ;I remember his kind smile and willingness to help any and everyone. I also worked with him at AGH he was a compassionate, and giving nurse. I can remember him wearing his suspenders and chain dangling from his pocket. To Carolyn and the rest of the family I extend my sincerest condolences; Jon was a Class act and a wonderful friend.
