Michael Sullivan Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Burbage Funeral Home - Berlin on Dec. 22, 2025.
Michael "Sully" Edward Sullivan, a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, cherished brother, uncle, and loyal friend, passed away peacefully on December 20th surrounded by those he loved.
Raised on Long Island, New York, Sully grew up with a deep appreciation for family, friendship, and sports. He was a gifted athlete who played baseball in college, a passion that reflected his dedication, discipline, and love of the game. Later in life, he found great joy on the golf course, where he spent many happy hours enjoying the game he loved most and losing to his daughter.
On December 28, 1986, Sully married the love of his life, Lori Elizabeth West. Their marriage was a true partnership, built on love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to one another.
Sully was a proud and loving father to his two children, Jennifer West Warren (Brad) and Kelly Lyn Wells (Geoffrey) who were the center of his world. He was also a devoted grandfather whose love, guidance, and gentle presence will be deeply missed.
Known for his sense of humor, kindness, and outgoing spirit, Sully had a rare gift - he made friends everywhere he went and with everyone he met. His genuine nature and easy smile left a lasting impression on all who crossed his path.
He leaves behind a legacy of love, friendship, and cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
