He was born February 18, 1924, in Omar, WV to the late Amos and Lily Burgess Sullivan. Murrell moved to the Huntington area as a young man. Over several years he worked at an array of challenging jobs. These proved to be life experiences that molded him into the stron, self sufficient man that would later become a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend.

Deepest sympathy to the family. I remember Murrell and Thelma very well. I attended Second Guyandotte Baptist Church with them many years ago. My parents Mary and Virgil Dennison were very close friends of Otis, Anna, and Norma Holley. May God guide you through this time of sorrow. Murrell was a nice man. Janice Dennison Murdock

We moved into Indian Meadows four and a half years ago. We had no idea that there were still folks around who made a point to come to your house and welcome you to a new neighborhood. We weren't even in our new house one week when Mr. Sullivan came over to say hi and introduce himself. We knew right then that we had found a good home.
Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan were both first class people. I'm going to miss sitting on the gliders in front of his house, watching the cars go by, hearing stories about the changes he'd seen in Huntington and the neighborhood. God bless his family.
