Charles Sullivan
Jerseyville | Sunday, July 17 2022 |
Charles Frederick Sullivan, 63, died unexpectedly at 9:23 p.m., Sunday, July 17, 2022 at his residence.
He was born on June 14, 1959 in Saint Louis, Missouri, one of three children born to John Paul and Elizabeth (Kolb) Sullivan.
Charlie spent the early years of his childhood growing up in Bellefontaine Neighbors, Missouri. At the age of 16, his family relocated to Chesterfield, Illinois where Charlie finished out his high school years, graduating with the Class of 1978 from Carlinville High School.
He began working for Hussmann Refrigeration in Bridgeton, Missouri in 1979, dedicating 36 years of service, prior to his retirement in 2015.
He married the former Kathleen Kasden on June 26, 1982 and together they were the proud parents of two children, Chad and Angela.
Charlie enjoyed reading the newspaper and staying on top of area news, following the St. Louis Cardinals and rarely missed tuning into Jeopardy! He also enjoyed a competitive game of pool and spending time outdoors hiking. He looked forward to the families annual Florida Vacation, where he loved spending time near the water, but it was the memories shared with his family that he cherished most of all.
