Patrick Henry Sullivan's Obituary
Patrick Henry Sullivan "Sulli", 76, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2025, at his residence in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He was born on August 19, 1948, in Seattle, Washington.
Sulli graduated from Saints High School in San Diego, where he developed his lifelong love of sports, playing horseshoes at Middle Mission and was actively involved in the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC).
It was during these vibrant San Diego days that he met Kathleen while she worked at Jose's Restaurant across from the roller coaster and Sulli Worked at Harry's Market at night and construction during the day. Kathy met Sulli while he was stocking beer at Harrys
and she was buying frozen strawberries. It was love at first sight. The couple married on February 16th and celebrated with a reception in San Diego, beginning a beautiful partnership that would span decades.
Sulli was a dedicated craftsman who earned his journeyman's license and eventually started his own successful business, Sul-Con Construction. His expertise and reputation led to significant projects including building Captain's Corner in Oceanside and various construction jobs on Camp Pendleton. His career later took him to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he worked on the Twin Towers located in San Diego at Seaport Village, a Google data plant, and as a supervisor with Whiting and Turner.
Known affectionately as "Mr. Fix It," Sulli embodied the All-American spirit. He was an upstanding man in all aspects of his life always calm kind, fair and accepting. Patrick was a proud citizen of the UNITED states and avid Trump supporter.
Above all, Sulli was an exceptional father who never missed a volleyball game or a champion cheerleading event for his daughters. His unwavering support and presence at every event demonstrated the depth of his love and commitment to his family.
Sulli is survived by his beloved wife, Kathleen; his two daughters, Katie-Ann and Margaret Jeanne; and his cherished grandchildren, Rhett, Jax, and Lux.
In accordance with Sulli's wishes, no services will be held. His family asks that he be remembered for his strong work ethic, his devotion to those he loved, and his ability to fix anything that needed fixing-both in construction and in life.
