Michael SULLIVAN Obituary

SULLIVAN, Michael Scott 10/12/1965 - 12/09/2015 Mike graduated from Ferris High School in 1983. He earned a Masters of Accounting Degree from the University of Washington and a Law Degree from the University of Puget Sound. He was a partner in a marine insurance underwriting firm in Seattle, before returning to Spokane to pursue a career in Commercial Property Management. Mike was preceded in death by his father, Stan, and is survived by his mother Marilyn Sullivan, (Fred Fricke), sister Jaque Remlinger (David), nephews Dayne, Drake, and Devin; nieces Jessica and Julia, and his constant companion, Tuffy. Mike possessed the uncanny ability to commit to memory everything he had ever heard or read. Along with his terrific sense of humor this made Mike a most interesting person to know and spend time with. He will be dearly missed by family and friends. A family celebration of Mike's life will be held next summer.

I remember first meeting Mike in 7th grade science class at Sac. Even then he was a clever, funny guy. All the way thru Ferris I was always glad when we were in the same classes. My thoughts go out to all his family and friends.

Mike was an amazing, funny high school friend. I had lost track of him in his adult years, but know he went on to make everyone around him smile. Mike, you will be missed.
