Sullivan, formerly of Logan County, passed away
October 15, 2024 at the Odd Fellow Rebekah Home.
Cremation rites have been accorded
by Holland Barry & Bennett Funeral Home. A

Tom was born April 12, 1943, in Ottawa, Illinois,
the son of Elmer and Esther (Saul) Miller. He grew
up in New Holland, Illinois where he farmed, and
raised show cattle and hogs. He had immense
knowledge and a keen eye for choosing a livestock
winner. You often found him along ringside at a
cattle show at the county fairs where he made many
life-long friends. He never missed an opportunity to
go fishing and passed this love onto his children.
Wherever Tom went his beloved canine companion
Noelle went and she was one of the smartest heelers
around. Tom spent a great part of his life in TX.,
where he continued his work in the cattle industry
helping youth with 4H projects. |
Survivors include his children: Kelly
Tucker (Scott), Kathy Garriott (Charlie), Kris
Miller (Kim), Justin Miller (Jenna), and Jodi Riggan
(Zach); grandchildren: Cody Tucker, Katie Lemenager,
Ty Tucker, Cole Garriott, Wyatt Garriott, Trey
Garriott, Kaylee Miller, Kinley Miller, Dakota
Miller, Kali Jo Riggan, and Rylynn Riggan; 11 great
grandchildren; and brother Chuck Miller.
He was preceded in death by his parents, infant
brother Eldon Miller, and brother Elmer "Lynn"
Miller.
