Bob Sweeney, 67, of San Diego, CA died Friday July 25, 2025, doing the thing he enjoyed the most: playing rugby.

Bob was born on June 1, 1958, in the Bronx, NY and grew up in Stony Point, Rockland County. He went to college at Iona University in New Rochelle, NY and graduated with a B.B.A. and eventually went on to obtain an M.B.A.

He started his career in NYC and as he developed professionally, he moved to southern California and New Hampshire to pursue his dreams and tackle new challenges. Later on in his life, he was recognized as 2016 "CFO of the Year" in San Diego, CA and was an established leader in the equipment leasing industry. Through the years, he inspired us all to work harder, work together and be happy. He was a fierce friend and strong mentor for many people.

His biggest passion was rugby. He began playing in college at Iona and never stopped. He was dedicated and contributed greatly to the rugby community. His number one dream was to travel the world and play rugby, which he achieved while his family and friends cheered him on. The love he showed for the game throughout his whole life was truly legendary.
