Serving the Big Horn Basin for over 100 years
Kerr "Patrick" Sullivan went to be with his Heavenly Father, Wednesday October 28, 2015 at the young age of 60. Pat left this world while in the process of doing what he loved... roofing. Pat called Worland his home, and was proud to have his roots in Wyoming.
On October 5th, 1955 in Casper Wyoming, John and Colleen Sullivan were blessed with their third beautiful son, Patrick.
Pat attended school in Worland, and graduated with the class of 1974. He was on the wrestling team and was known for his love of fast cars. As a young man, Pat worked many jobs including mowing lawns, shoveling snow, and working on his Grandpa Northy's farm.
Pat met the love of his life, Karhla Pitsch, shortly after she moved to Worland from California in 1975. They fell in love instantly and married on December 4th, 1976. From the union of marriage, Pat and Karhla had two beautiful daughters, Keristyn and Kelci.
Pat worked for Pacific Power on a line crew and later as a dispatcher for 38 years, and retired in 2014. Pat was an active real estate broker in Worland with Bonny Realty for 20+ years and loved transforming houses into homes. After retirement from PP&L, Pat opened a successful roofing and construction business. He was known for working from dawn until dusk. Pat's success came from sweat and hard work.
Pat loved his family and friends more than life itself. He loved spending time in his boat on the lake, riding his motorcycles and enjoying his classic cars. He was an esteemed boxer and won 2nd place in his division at the World Championship Amateur Boxing Competition in Kansas City, KS in 2012. Pat was the Wyoming state record holder in powerlifting for many years. One of his greatest passions, was coaching his grandson's in USA wrestling. He never missed a band concert, school program or soccer game. He was the world's greatest babysitter. Pat was a devoted Christian man of integrity and instilled those beliefs in his family.
He is preceded in death by his father, John Sullivan and his step-father Richard Seaman.

His grandchildren Canyon and Rivers (Carrell), Creedon and Bronson (Newell), Camden, Brennan Patrick, Tristan, Tanner and Tatum Zimmerman. His brothers John O'Riley and Timothy (Karen) Sullivan. His ex-wife, Karhla Sullivan and his companion Jo Ellen Dunham.
