Patrick Sullivan Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that those who loved him most share that Patrick Eugene Sullivan, 55, of Dallas, Texas passed away on June 25, 2019 from complications following his battle with cancer.
Born in Tampa, Florida to Robert and Marlyn (Cutcliffe) Sullivan, he grew up in the orange groves surrounded by his siblings and many friends. Patrick graduated from the University of Florida in 1986 before beginning a lifelong career in the travel industry. In the early 1990s, he taught himself database coding and attained much success in the field.
Patrick was tender-hearted and sharp-tongued. He cared fiercely for his family, friends, and creatures great and small. He particularly loved Jameson, both the Irish whisky and his dog who bore the same name, but preferred Dewars.
Known as a man of refinement and culture, he loved the finer things in life and will be fondly remembered by his loved ones with each note of a Pavarotti masterpiece and every time an orchid blooms. He was fascinated with aviation and had an uncanny ability to identify an aircraft's model by the sound of its engine alone. His humor was wry and unforgettable, his style impeccable, and his heart purely gold.
He is survived by his parents, Bob and Marlyn of Lakeland, Florida; sister Shannon (Gary) Smith; brother Keith (Mary Helen); brother Larry (Paige); nieces Brittany, Kaley, Hunter, and Samantha; and nephews Drew, Hart, and Hayden. His legacy will live on forever in the hearts of his beloved daughter Anne-Marie (Joseph) Aaron and grandsons Charles and Robert of Raleigh, North Carolina.
The many loving friends he made over two decades in Texas became family to him. The care they gave and dedication they showed to their dearest "Paddy" will never be forgotten. He will be fondly missed by his closest sidekicks Bridget Bonning, Bryan Brown, Scott Collins, Mark Evans, Michael Ford, Michael Jarvis, Robert Kirkpatrick, Dedra Pfarrdrescher, Todd Price, Greg Robertson, Kris Starr, and countless others.
Patrick's loved ones would like to extend their deep appreciation to the medical staff who cared for him during his time at Baylor University Medical Center, Belmont Village, and Faith Presbyterian Hospice.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, July 12 at 11 am at Resurrection Catholic Church, 333 Terrace Way, Lakeland, FL. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice. Patrick was a generous benefactor of AIDS Services of Dallas, P.O. Box 4338, Dallas, TX 75208.
