James Daniel Sullivan, Sr.

Jun 7, 1943 — Oct 9, 2026

James Daniel "Dan" Sullivan Sr., born on June 7, 1943, in Ashland, MA, to Richard and Edith (nee Nolan) Sullivan. A beloved brother among four children, Dan embodied a life enriched with family and fervor.

He was married to Susan (nee Kaizer) for 61 years and they had 4 children: Vicky, Dan Jr., Susan, and Richard. He was blessed with 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Dan lived his life as a testament to his faith, regularly attending Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. His spirit thrived in the great outdoors, where he found joy in hunting, fishing, shooting, camping, and traveling. Christmas, his favorite holiday, was a canvas for his creativity and warmth, always celebrated with heartfelt festivity surrounded by his loved ones.

With a dedicated career as a safety specialist, Dan retired from the National Park Service. His commitment extended to his brave service as a volunteer firefighter with the Holmes and Morton Fire Companies, where his valor shone in battling wildfires across the western landscapes.

Preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Dan leaves behind a tapestry of loving memories and an enduring impression on all who knew him.

Family and friends are invited to Dan’s Funeral Mass at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 24th at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel, 2130 Franklin Ave, Morton, PA 19070.
