Obituary of Mark Sullivan

LTC Mark J. Sullivan, age 62, passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on July 28, 2018, at his home in Goose Creek, SC. 

 

Mark was born on March 11, 1956, in Fayetteville, NC, to Gloria Mae (Struble) and Jerome Patrick Sullivan.  He was predeceased by both parents.  His Aunts, Helen Sullivan of Erie, PA, and Lois Jones of Olean, NY, survive.

 

Also surviving are four siblings: Dr. Gregory Paul (Wendie) Sullivan of Lynchburg, VA; Bryan Raymond Sullivan of Wake Forest, NC; Linda Kathleen (Dr. Louis) Korpics of Mechanicsville, VA; and Christopher Jon (Michelle) Sullivan of Fairfax, VA.  Mark also leaves two nieces, four nephews, and numerous cousins.

 

Mark was a 1974 graduate of Portville Central School in Portville, NY.  Through an ROTC Scholarship, he achieved a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and Accounting from Gannon College in Erie, PA, in 1978. Following graduation, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Finance Corps. His Army career took him to Germany, Korea, Japan, and all parts of the United States.  While serving his country, he received numerous Meritorious Service Awards and Commendations. He retired from the military as a Lieutenant Colonel.  He also worked as a civilian finance official for the Department of the Navy in Charleston, SC, before leaving that position.

 

Mark was a contributing member of Seacoast Church in Summerville.  He enjoyed his duties as a greeter and was especially adept at working with the children in the nursery. He was very fond of his church family.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be sent to Seacoast Church, Summerville Campus, in his honor.
