Sulev Sully Jarvits Sulev was born in Tallinn, Estonia. He peacefully passed away at home in Gig Harbor on March 5, 2015 surrounded by his loved ones. Sulev fought the battle of a long illness with dignity and grace as he lived his life, always according to his own principals. He attended Stadium High School, University of Washington, and Western. After serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War as a pilot, VAW-13 Zappers Squadron, Sulev became a commercial airline pilot. Sulev is survived by his loving wife, Candee; his beautiful daughters, Janelle (Steve) and Shelbi (Jarrod), and four wonderful grandchildren, Jordyn, Cole, Jake, and Brad; his brother, Henry Jarvits of Key Center and sister, Aino Jarvits (Orlando) of Tacoma.

Special thanks to our dear friends for their help and support, and a very special thanks to our angels, Carl Ozimek and Frank Morrow. Sulev was a bright light that will never be extinguished or forgotten, he was a very special person in so many ways and touched more lives than he will ever know.
