Brendan Sullivan, born October 14, 1955, Baie Verte, passed peacefully away at the Health Sciences Centre, 16 May, 2016 after a lengthy and heroic battle with Wegener's. Son of the late William and Marie (Barker) Sullivan, he is survived by his wife, JuneAnn Manning, his son Neil (Laura), Neil's mother Linda, and siblings Sheila (Normand Peladeau), Terry (Rian), Patricia (Dave Turner), Kevin (Michelle), Desmond (Catherine), Gerald (Lark), Edmund (Donna Nelson), Gene (Alice Prescott), Gerarda (Mikael Kahn) and Noreen, a large number of nieces and nephews: Ellen, Kevin, Michael and their Mother, Marlene; Bert, Chris, Cory, Mark, Suzanne, David, Colin, Claire, Shannon, Erin, Riley, Sean, grand nieces and nephews, Henry, Hayley, Kathryn, Niamh, and Emma. Following graduation from Memorial University in 1978, Bren worked as a provincial government economist in the Department of Mines and Energy and as Senior Economist in the Department of Transportation. In 1986, the lure of entrepreneurship enticed him away from the public service to build several companies with his brother and business partner, Des. Over more than thirty years, their interests included condominium and commercial construction, commercial leasing, and retail operations. Bren will be deeply missed by his ever loving family, his many friends and his business associates. Cremation having taken place, visitation will be held at Carnell's Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, Wednesday and Thursday, May 18th and 19th, 2-4pm and 7-9pm. No flowers by request. Donations in Brendan's memory may be made to the Marie Sullivan Scholarship Fund, Memorial University, 20 Lambe's Lane, St. John's, NL A1C 5S7.
