Mr. Percy E. "Rusty" Sullivan III age 56 of Theressa passed away Tuesday, August 15, 2023, at home with his family praying at his side. He was born July 19, 1967, in Palatka to Percy E. and Lynda (Strickland) Sullivan, Jr. and graduated from BCHS in 1985. Rusty served eight years in the National Guard and retired from Alachua County Schoolboard as a Locksmith. He loved protecting the residents of Bradford and surrounding counties by serving as an Emergency Medical Technician, to volunteering countless and sleepless hours as a Fireman with Theressa Fire Department where he also held position as Chief for many years. Rustys sense of humor would have you laughing and always putting a smile on your face. He was also known for his passion of being outdoors working on the farm or deer hunting and made sure his daughter Gracie gained the same passion as he had. There are many words that can describe Rusty, but awesome and dedicated are the two that best describe his role as being a dad, husband, son, and friend. His father Percy E. Sullivan, Jr. had preceded him in death. Rustys survivors are, the love of his life Julie (Geiger) Sullivan and their daughter Gracie Sullivan (Austin Sanchez) along with his mother Lynda (Strickland) Sullivan all of Theressa; Aunt Ilene Fulgham of Palatka; cousins Marshall, Michael, and Denver Fulgham. Also left behind is Rustys father and mother in-law Wayne "Coach" and Frankie Geiger of Keystone Heights; brother in-law Matt Geiger (Carrie) of Gainesville and their children Megan Keith and Conner Geiger along with numerous extended family members and friends that will miss him terribly.
