Michael D. Sullivan, 53, of 94 Kansas Branch Road, Duke Center, passed away, Saturday, October 12, 2019, at his residence, surrounded by his loving family.
Born February 14, in Olean, he was a son of the late Norma (Powell) Bowen and Daniel A. Sullivan.
He was a 1984 graduate of Otto Eldred High School. He immediately joined the United States Navy and served until 1990.
In July of 2005 he met Valerie L. Nichols who survives.
After the service he worked in Florida and Michigan, installing pools and irrigation systems, worked in the heating and air-conditioning business, and installed roofs. He was a jack of all trades. Mike was able to turn any parts into useable and useful projects.
Mike enjoyed life, making the best of even the worst days, usually by making others laugh. He liked listening to music, NASCAR, bon fires, and spending time with his family and friends.
Surviving is his companion of 14 years, Val Nichols with whom he resided, one brother, Mark (Kelly) Sullivan, of Showlow AZ, one niece, Mary (Christopher Blair) Sullivan, one nephew, Daniel (Angela) Sullivan, his former sister-in-law, Kathy (AJ) Curtis of Duke Center, and many cousins.
Friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life at Noon on Saturday October 19, 2019 in the Otto Township Fire Hall with Rev. Brad Preston officiating, followed by committal services at 12:45pm in Moody Hollow Cemetery. Family will return to the Fire Hall and continue to receive friends until 4:00pm.
