Obituary of Gordon Bruce Sweatman
Gordon Sweatman passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, with his wife Jane by his side. Born in Montreal, Gordon was predeceased by his father Bertram Charles Sweatman; his mother Estelle Norah Wilson; and his brother Charles George Sweatman. Gord is survived by his loving wife, Jane of 31 years and his five children: Ken (Margaret), Joyce (Rob), David (Yvonne), Jim (Diana) and Heather (Matt); his fifteen grandchildren: James (Martha), Heather (Mike), Caroline, Aidan (Hannah), Christina (Josh), Alex, Hilary, Beth, Michael, Gillian, Kevin, Emma, Tyler, David, and Samantha; his great-grandson Wesley; and Jane’s children Jason (Kelly) and Alyson (Doug) and their children Karlyn, Jack and Jessica.
After a long career as a corporate tax accountant, Gord served friends and family for many years as their tax accountant and investment manager. Gord was present and engaged with his family: faithful, dedicated, and hard-working; a gracious and kind father-in-law; but most of all, especially in his later years, he loved being a grandfather. He was always happiest surrounded by his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed.
A Celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, March 29th at The Village of Taunton Mills in the Town Hall, 3800 Brock Street North, Whitby, Ontario L1R 3A5 at 1 p.m. Memories, photos and condolences may be shared at www.waggfuneralhome.com
