John Thomas Sweeney

On Friday, February, 26, 2021, John “Jack” Thomas Sweeney, of Pleasant Lake, Indiana, loving husband and father of three daughters, passed away at the age of 76. Jack was born on August 18, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois to William and Catherine (O’Dowd) Sweeney and had two brothers William (Dorothy) and the late Edward (Judith.) Jack was a loving father of Tera (Bob) VanLiederkerke, Tracy (Jim) Ryan and Brenna (Pat) Sweeney. Jack was most proud of his eight grandchildren. Jack met the love of his life, Nickie (Roberts) Sweeney, in Portage, Indiana, and they began a life together living in Pleasant Lake, Indiana. Jack was very close to Nickie’s two children Laura (Lon) Morrisson and Frank Roberts and Nickie's six grandchildren. Jack and Nickie filled their time hosting many out-of-town guests, entertaining friends on their deck, enjoying time with their children and grandchildren and becoming involved with Pleasant View Church of Christ in Angola. Before retirement, Jack’s career as a hard-working union electrician included working in many U.S. states, including his favorites, Alaska and Minnesota. Jack was a robust man who was a high school football star. An avid outdoorsman, Jack was a master at fishing and spending time in nature found him excitement and peace. No one could tell a story like Jack and he had many to tell as his life was filled with countless friends, adventures, work experiences and travel. Jack will be deeply missed by his loving and caring wife and all who knew him. There will be no services at this time. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later time.
