Donald Lee Sullivan

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Donald Lee Sullivan, of North East, MD, a cherished husband, father, brother, and friend, who left us on April 8, 2025, at the age of 71. Born on August 3, 1953, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Donald lived a life rich in love, laughter, and treasured memories.

A proud graduate with a Bachelor's Degree, Donald dedicated his career to the automotive industry as a skilled repairman for Chrysler, where he made lasting friendships and contributed his expertise for many years. His passion for cars was matched only by his love for his family.

Donald is survived by his devoted wife of many years, Catharine Sullivan, and their beloved children, daughter Kimberly Chrystal (Jason) of North East, MD, and son William Sullivan of Baltimore, MD; his grandchildren, Jasmin, Jackie, Justus, Jevan, Jovy. He is also survived by his brothers, David Sullivan (Elaine) of Roanoke, VA, Patrick Sullivan (Judy) of NH, Richard Sullivan (Susan) of Williamsport, MD, and Stuart Sullivan of Tampa, FL, along with sister Sandra Graff (Curtis) of Boonsboro, MD.  He is also survived by multiple nieces and nephews. His family was his pride and joy, and he cherished each moment spent with them.

Donald was preceded in death by his parents, William and Sue Ann (Cunningham) Sullivan; and brother, Paul Sullivan and wife, Lori.

An avid sports enthusiast, Donald had a special fondness for the Baltimore Ravens, Orioles, and Aberdeen Ironbirds, where he took great joy in working as an usher for the home games. He relished his time on the golf course, and he often spent weekends fishing with friends and family, all while embracing the beauty of nature. His love of travel took him to many places, but he always found his way back home, where he would unwind by watching nature shows, reflecting on life’s wonders.

Family and friends are invited to honor Donald’s life and legacy at a public viewing on Saturday, April 12, 2025, from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM at Crouch Funeral Home, P.A., 127 South Main Street, North East, MD, celebrating a life well-lived and the countless memories he created along the way.

The family has asked instead of flowers, a donation be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or Shriners Hospital, in care of the funeral home.

As we gather to remember Donald, let us reflect on the happiness he brought into our lives and the love he shared so generously. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
