Obituary of Shannon Patrick Sullivan

It is with profound sadness we share, our beloved Shannon Patrick Sullivan, passed peacefully at St. Francis Hospital on Monday August 17, 2020. Shannon was born July 31, 1965 in Hartford, CT. He graduated from Simsbury High School and Dean College. He enjoyed careers in various sales positions and finally as an admissions director for a vocational school. He leaves behind his sister and brother-in-law Tara and Tom Mulryan of Glastonbury, his brother Shawn D. Sullivan of Westport, CT, his nieces, Kaitlin Kershner and her husband Joel of Boston, MA, Colleen Mulryan of Glastonbury, his nephew Patrick Mulryan of Sharon, CT, his twin grandnieces Emma and Ava Kershner and his very dear and ever loyal friend Tim Sandhouse of Wethersfield. Shannon would always joke that Tim was his brother from a different mother. He also leaves many aunts, uncles and cousins who have kept him close to their hearts in prayer. He was predeceased by his father John B. Sullivan and his mother Cecelia C. Sullivan Morse. As we mourn our deep loss, let us remember the great times and fun we always had when Shannon was in our midst. He loved life, sports, including golf and baseball and having fun. He always made us laugh, and most of all, never let the facts get in the way of a good story. We would like to thank St. Francis Hospital Hospice for the loving care they provided. Friends may call at the Mulryan Funeral Home, 725 Hebron Ave., Glastonbury on Friday August 21 from 4-6pm. In order to adhere to continued COVID 19 mandates, masks are required, six feet of social distancing along with having a maximum of 50 people in the funeral home at a time.
