Joseph F. McSweeney

November 19, 1962 – March 17, 2013

Following a tragic accident, Joe McSweeney suffered a head injury and passed away on St. Patrick’s Day.

Services were held Friday at St. Isidore’s Catholic Church located in Danville.

Joe was a loving husband of almost 25 years to Cathy. He was extremely proud of their four beautiful children Joey, Matthew, Ryan, and Megan.

Joe was born in Sacramento; the fifth son of William and Joan of Los Altos. He is also survived by his siblings: Bill (Nancy), Bob (Nicole), Tom (Julie), Brian (Annamarie), Carol (Jim) Ryan, Kathy (Tony) Perazzo and Joanne (John) McShane. He was the always-smiling “Uncle Joey” to 17 nieces and nephews.

Joe was an alumnus of St. Francis High School, and University of San Francisco. Joe and his family have been long time parishioners at St. Isidore’s Catholic Church and school.

Joe, always a man of action and involvement, was heavily committed to numerous community events and organizations including Danville Little League, CYO Youth Sports, De La Salle High School and the St. Isidore Men’s Club, which he founded. He also enjoyed his alumni involvement with the USF Dons baseball program.

Professionally, Joe was a valued business development manager with American Asphalt Company (Hayward) and was active in several trade and professional associations.

Joe’s charm, infectious attitude, and kind heart made him easy to love. He will be truly missed.

Family and friends have set up the “Joseph McSweeney Family Educational Fund”.
