The Rev - Drummer in spirit

• Real name is James Owen Sullivan, but was often just called Jimmy.

 

•February 9, 1981 to mother Barbara and father Joe. We lost him on December 28, 2009, far too soon.

 

• Star sign was Aquarius

 

• He was 6'2.

 

• Had blue eyes.

 

• He had two sisters Kelly and Katie

 

• Came up with the nickname The Reverend Tholomew Plague on his own. It is usually shortened to The Rev.

 

• His girlfriend was Leana Mcfadden. They were never married but Jimmy's parents said she was his soul mate.

 

• Syn gave him guitar lessons over the years.

 

• He had three other bands besides Avenged Sevenfold: Pinkly Smooth, Silver and Suburban Legend.

 

• His favorite bands were Transplants and Rancid.

• His inspirations were Vinnie Paul, Dave Lombardo, Paul Bastaph, and Mike Portnoy.

 

• Once threw out what he thought was Matt's copy of Aqua, out the window of the tour bus but it happened to be his own copy because Matt found it in his CD book.

 

•He was a breath of life for himself and his band mates. Though he is no longer physically with the band, we believe that he will always remain in spirit as the sixth member of Avenged Sevenfold. If Jimmy had the choice to leave before he passed, he wouldn't have taken it so he will always remain a member of the glorious band that he always cherished. So here in this corner, this one simple space is the always standing tribute for how far he was willing to push, how far he got and how much farther he's going to get with those deathbat wings of his. Fly on, my good friend. – Team Sevenfold
