Sullivan and his twin brother, Guy, were born in Montgomery, AL on 8/7/52 at St. Margaret's Hospital. He attended and graduated from Lowndes Academy. He was a lifelong, active church member, choir member, former deacon, youth pastor, board member and Sunday school teacher. He owned and operated numerous, successful businesses throughout his life. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2010, he was later challenged by his neurologist to keep his mind sharp, so he started taking online classes to complete his bachelor's degree and recently obtained a Master of Business Administration degree in 2022 with a 3.87 GPA.

Sullivan was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and a friend to so many. He thoroughly enjoyed playing tennis when he was still able, and he loved a good, friendly card game. He spent most fall Saturdays throughout his life pulling for his Auburn Tigers. He always enjoyed traveling with family.

Sullivan is rejoicing with his Lord and Savior and although he will be greatly missed, we celebrate his life Homecoming!
