Timothy Joseph Sox Sullivan

Timothy J. “Sox” Sullivan was born in Butte, Montana on January 16, 1931. He served his country in the United States Navy during the Korean War era and later built a long career in local law enforcement, rising to the rank of lieutenant with the Anaconda‑Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Department. Over 18 years with the department he became known in the community for steady service and dedication.

Sullivan was a family man. Public records and memorials note that he was married and fathered five children, roles that grounded him away from the duties of work and public life. Neighbors and local community references remember him as someone who balanced responsibility with a quiet presence; descriptions in official remembrances emphasize both his military service and his commitment to Anaconda.

Locally promoted and respected in his profession, Sullivan’s path reflected a mid‑century life shaped by military service followed by long public service at home. Though the public record focuses on his official roles, the facts that are available point to a man who combined duty — to his country, his town, and his family — across decades.

Timothy “Sox” Sullivan’s life and service are honored in state and local memorials that commemorate law enforcement officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. The community of Anaconda remembers him for the many years he served and for the family he raised. While available public sources document his service and the circumstances of his death, they also make clear that he was more than an occupational title: he was a veteran, a husband, a father, and a longtime member of his hometown.

This page respectfully acknowledges his life and the place he held in his community and family.
