Mike, you are sadly missed and happily remembered by many. I remember Mike being so incredibly sweet to all who he came into contact with. I think of you often and know you are resting happily in Heaven. May God continue to Bless you and your family. With much love, Amy Haywood Monroe
For those who may have not known, Mike suffered all his life with an immune deficiency disease. However, when he was 22 he was diagnosed with stomach and liver cancer and died six weeks later.
Thank you Amy for your kind note. We think of Mike every day, but know he is in Heaven and smiling.
When Mikey left this life, it was nothing short of a great loss. His sarcastic sense of humor was one-of-a-kind. If only he could have made the minimum weight requirement, he would have been yet another great wrestling Sullivan. I think of Mikey often, and get a smile each time. He was a sincere friend and I miss him... Rick Harvey
I spent all my school years with Mike and the Sullivan family. We were in boy scouts together, we had first commumion together and graduated together. It wasn't like we were best friends, but Mike was always a freind. When I heard Mike was really sick I wanted to see him. I just couldn't bear to see him suffer like that so I didn't go see him that one last time. Mike I hope you know you were always a friend to me. You never changed who you were no matter the stage of our lives. We all usually go through some stage of our lives where we may not treat all our friends the way we did when we were younger, but you never waivered. Thank you for that. You really are missed buddy.
Mikey, was one of my best friends. He was the only person I even thought about walking with at Graduation and I did. His sense of humor was the best; his wise cracks. He wanted to be the godfather of my baby our senior year. We lost touch after graduation until a month before he found out he was sick. I finally got to tell him I had secretly "crushed" on him throughout school. I remember asking him to go out for my 22nd bday, he said he wasn't feeling good. Two days later, he told me he had cancer. I saw him in the hospital often and wished for all the time that had past us. I sent him yellow roses for Valentine's Day, it was the last thing he remembered of me. I will never forget!! I love him to this day and my third son is named after him. I couldn't thank Julie and Paul enough for allowing me to come with them and their family when he was given an honorary college diploma. I still hold the Sullivan's dear to my heart. I often called their house just to hear Mike's voice on the machine,which they kept for years after. I miss you Mikey!! Love, Tammy Spoonamore Pryor
