Bill was born January 12, 1976 in Flint, Michigan, the son of Harold Glendean Sullivan and Elizabeth Ann (Howe) Sullivan. He was a graduate of Bendle High School and also a graduate of Muskegon Community College with an Associates Degree in criminal justice.

Bill loved baseball, softball, wrestling, he was an all around athlete. He also loved to take over the grill, he enjoyed cook outs, corn hole, and bon fires. He loved Notre Dame, his country music, his family and friends, and also his job. Bill was everyone's protector, if there was a problem Bill would be there in a heartbeat. One phone call and he would show up no matter the time or day. His big and tender heart will be missed dearly. Bill would have given his shirt off his back to anyone in need. If you knew Bill, you knew he would have given you his last dollar if you needed it. His fierce competitiveness and discipline when it came to sports, allowed him to play in college on a scholarship but unfortunately due to injuries wouldn't allow him to finish. He still continued to play the games he loved making friends along the way. Many people have known Bill for years, some of us have only known him for a few years, but the impact he has made on our lives we will cherish and will live with us forever. Goodbye for now. May God bless you. Rest in peace. Now you can be with your mother and other family and friends. Keep watching down on us and protecting us, Sully #44. Until we see you again, we will all miss you. We Love You!

When I am lonely, I think of you and all that you brought to my life. Your memory rests gently on my soul. Psalm 73:26 My flesh & my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart & my portion forever.
