Jack Thomas Sullivan

Jack Sullivan was the 3rd of 9 siblings. Even at a young age, Jack was a dependable and honorable man. At 12 years old, he built his first car from the ground up using his own hard earned money.

After his father's passing at 13, Jack took up the mantle to care for his family, always taking pride in the work he did. Through this hard work, he was able to open his own garage while working full time at a rubber factory. His work ethic only grew, eventually closing his garage to take up the role of a foreman at Newberry Rubber while he went to night school to become a future machinist at Parker-Hannifin until he retired in 2008 at 65. Jack spent his life dedicated to the future of his family and his legacy. Every day he endeavored to pass his lifetime of experience on to his children and grandchildren.

One of his favorite stories to tell was that when he first saw Virginia leaving the Church of God, he said "I'm gonna marry that girl someday" and he did. When the wife he loved so much fell gravely ill, he dedicated everything he had to become her around the clock in-home care. After 58 years of blissful marriage, God called her home to him in 2018. Though Jack was never alone with plenty of family nearby, life was not quite the same since. Teresa continued her dedication to her father, assisting with daily chores, care and company over the last 3 years. With loved ones beside him, Jack Sullivan was called home on August 8th of 2021. Forever after, Jack and Virginia are now reunited in Heaven.

Jack was preceded in death by his loving wife of 58 years, Virginia Sullivan. His siblings Ronald, Joyce, and Meryl, and his great-granddaughter Scarlet.

He is survived in life by his siblings Bobby, Larry, Pete, Paul, Jerry. His daughters Teresa and Pamela. His grandchildren Tim, Mark, JT, and Richard. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Shirley.

Friends will be received at the Wood-Kortright-Borkoski Funeral Home, 703 E. Main St., Ravenna, on Saturday, August 14, 2021 from 10:00am until 11:00am. Funeral services, officiated by Pastor Roy Harman, will begin at 11:00am. Interment will follow at Drakesburg Cemetery.
