Raymond R. Sullivan

Raymond R. Sullivan, 94, passed away fighting like a United States Marine until his last breath on May 25, 2025. Originally from Chicago, Ray retired to Gilbert, Arizona where he treasured spending time with family and friends. Ray is survived by his children Barbara Oliver, Daniel Sullivan and his wife Patricia, Nancy Sullivan and her husband Eric Olszewski, and Patrick Sullivan and his wife Karen. Additionally, Ray was blessed to have many grandchildren Paul, Tracy, Kevin, Brett, and Ryan, great-grandchildren Mikayla, Benjamin, Orion, and Mirae and his great-great-granddaughter Mya. Several years after the death of his wife Gloria, Ray met his next long-time love, Wendy Warne, who he spent many years exploring the world and enjoying life.

Ray was well loved by many because of his generosity and humorous storytelling. We will be celebrating his life on Saturday, June 14, 2025 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at
