Benjamin Thomas Sweeny, 35, passed away suddenly on August 11, 2014 in Burke, Virginia. It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the loss of a man so full of love. His greatest joy was as a father and as an uncle to his many nieces and nephews. Ben was known for being thoughtful and loving. He jumped at any opportunity to hold or comfort his baby brothers and sister when they were little, and was always the brother who wanted to share and make others happy by giving of himself.

For those who would like to give, we'll place any donations in this account into a college fund for his daughter Maria.
