Sean L. Sullivan - Wilmington, MA
Sean L. Sullivan 58 of Wilmington, Massachusetts passed away unexpectedly on May 10,2025. He was born in Lowell, MA on April 16, 1967. Sean was enrolled in Wilmington school systems. He obtained an associate degree in Sociology at a local community college. Sean was always known for swinging wrenches any chance he got. He was the one everyone called when they needed their cars repaired. Sean was always willing to lend a helpful hand to those in need. If he was not getting his hands greasy, he could be found enjoying a cold adult beverage. His quick wit and sarcasm could be matched by no other. Sean was very proud of his Irish heritage, including his scaly cap and his love of GREEN.
Beloved son of Diane K. (Keating) Sullivan, and Late Timothy J. Sullivan. Cherished Father of Shavon Sullivan Bettencourt and her husband Jordan Bettencourt of Lowell MA, Sean Sullivan of Lowell, MA, Courtney Sullivan and her fiancé Aaron Devescovi of Shirley, MA.
