Gary Reed Sullivan, 78, passed away on March 20, 2025, in Evansville Indiana.
Born on May 3, 1946, in Evansville, Indiana. Gary was a man who found joy in the simple pleasures – whether it was cheering on his favorite sports teams, casting a fishing line into the water or sharing a meal with loves ones. Time spent with family was especially meaningful to him and he cherished every moment with those closest to him.
He is survived by his best friend and companion Nancy Harris-Recco; two sons, Bryan (Christine) Sullivan and Chris (Darlene) Sullivan; two grandchildren, Devon (Samantha) Sullivan and Reagan Sullivan; one brother, Keith (Tammy) Sullivan. He also had a special bond with Nancy’s children, Misti Byrns and Ryan Harris and grandchildren Avery Byrns and Dylan Hicks. He was preceded in death by his parents, Truman and Lillie Sullivan.
An open house Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday March 29, 2025, from 12 PM to 3 PM at CountryMark Pavilion, 6855 Lower New Harmony Road, Mount Vernon Indiana 47620.
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to Linda E. White Hospice House 611 Harriet Street, Evansville, IN 47710

I have nothing but good memories of Gary. Playing football in Mt. Vernon, he always made me feel like I was somebody. Being friends with Chris, he always made me feel like I was family. I don’t ever remember talking to him without laughing. He was so funny. He’s going to be missed by so many. He touched a lot of lives. My heart goes out to Chris and Bryan and their families. I’m so sorry for your loss.
