75
Milton Lynn Sullivan, 75, of Colchester passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on May 3, 2026.
He was born March 22, 1951, in Little River, Kansas to Russell and Arlene (Shelley) Sullivan. On July 17, 1970, Milt married the love of his life, Susan “Tootie” Brown at the Colchester Christian Church. She preceded him in death on September 7, 2025.
Milt was a 1969 graduate of Colchester High School. He worked for local contractors prior to starting Milt Sullivan Construction. He built many homes and enjoyed the years his dad and later his son worked with him side by side.
He trained many young men in the craft that also went on to become contractors or self employed businessmen. He served as the Colchester Township Supervisor for over 40 years. Milt and Tootie owned and operated Milt’s Snack Bar in Colchester in the mid 80s-early 90s. In the years they spent there they helped “parent” quite a few local kids. He considered those years some of the very best. He worked for WIRC providing weatherization to countless homes in the area. He was second in charge after Tootie at “Grandma’s Daycare” that all of their grandchildren benefited from.
