Junior was born on May 17, 1951 in Johnson County to Louie and Daphene (Webb) Sullivan.
He was a hardworking man who grew up running heavy machinery. His hobby became his work as he later became co-owner/operator of Sullivan Trucking and Backhoe in Goreville for many years with his brother. He was a member of Operating Engineers Local #318.
