HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY JIMMY!!!!!!!!……..you old fart. :-D

Comment by April

We all miss him and he was taken from this world way too early to express all of the creativity he had in his mind. He lived every day, he lived it with such a passion and he clearly enjoyed his life. His life was too short but he had a great one. A family that loved him, friends who were there by his side whenever he needed them, a girl in which he found real love and a band with a family of fans any band could only wish for.
I think we all should do the same and remember the amazing and inspiring person that he was and still is to so many of us.

Happy Birthday Jimmy. Gone too early but never forgotten.

Comment by Ella

Happy Birthday Jimmy, we all truly miss you, and if you can somehow read facebook poetry from heaven I want you to know this

Taken away before your time
All hands praying for your soul
The rhythm you sewed for us
Now playing rampantly in our hearts
All eyes wet with the salt ridden
Regret of the loss of you
Wishes can not be granted
But perhaps prayers heard
“Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold him in your warm embrace, keep his fragile heart safe.”
Amen

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

Happy Birthday Rev! Your life, and your death, has had an influence on this world that I’m sure you never expected and perhaps could only have hoped for. Your music was a gift to us, and your legacy will last forever with your family, all of us all over the world.
Let’s celebrate his life and his legacy! Bottoms up everyone!

Comment by deathbatnews

Completely agreed. Thank you Mrs. Sullivan!

Comment by Andrea Lam

Mrs Sullivan your boys was amazing and inspired all of us. He was a legend and influenced and changed my life forever. I never got the chance to meet Jimmy but he touched my life in ways any other person couldnt. Thank you Mrs.Sullivan for bringing James into our life and into mine , because your sons music helped me in the hardest times in my life. And i will forever be thankful. God Bless You Barbara the fans will always be here for you as well as me. Happy Birthday Jimmy. R.I.P.

Thank you for raising such a wonderful, loving and talented son! He was a genius.

Happy birthday Jimmy! I’m wearing my A7X shirt for you today.

Comment by E

Thank you, Mrs Sullivan for giving us a person like Jimmy, because not only was he an amazing musician, but he was also a great person and a man who brought happiness to so many people all over the world. I’ve never met Jimmy personally because A7X never played in my country, but because of all the videos and stories I simply know that he really was one of a kind and that he will stay in our hearts foREVer.
Thank you, Jimmy, and happy birthday.

Comment by Croat

Mrs. Sullivan,

I cannot begin to describe to you how much of an impact Jimmy has had on my life. The products he has created are and always will be my most favorite compositions of all time. I have played the piano my whole life and have heard pretty much every genre you can imagine, and, out of every musician to have ever walked this earth, Jimmy is hands down my favorite.

While I never had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy in person, I feel that I and many other members of the Avenged Sevenfold family are closer to him through his music than we are even with members of our own families. Music these days is often all about one thing; a band only writes songs about death or destruction or partying. Jimmy and Avenged Sevenfold are different. He and the band captured life in their music. If you are experiencing an emotion, there’s a Jimmy song to match it. In his tragically short life, Jimmy expressed through music what it means to be human. That is an accomplishment a vast majority of other musicians could NEVER hope to achieve.

-Ryan

Comment by ry1749

I’m 50 years old,and I searched and looked for good music after my taste.Suddenly I reacted and listened,about 2 years ago,when my 16 years old son played Guitar Hero.WOW.Wild 80′s guitars like in my youth,and genious drummings from Jimmy!Shortly after I bought all albums and DVD’S.God bless Jimmy and A7X for sharing their music,and for playing an important role in so many peoples life.

Comment by kurtwest.norway

Your son, though many of us never knew him, has impacted our lives with the music he created. We all miss him, you guys are family, and the fans are as well, he means a lot to everyone. He was able to do what many people only dream of doing (myself included). I have so much respect for your son and what he did/created that I immortalized him on my left arm with a tattoo of his deathbat with the word “foREVer” below it. He will always be in our hearts. Jimmy “The Rev” will never be forgotten.

Comment by Alec R.

thank u for giving birth and raising a talented man. We are truly grateful. Although i have never met him, his music had inspired me to drum and love music. It was very kind of u to take the time to share how much u appreciate our love and support. Thank you.

Comment by marisa

Thank you Mrs. Sullivan for your beautiful words. Jimmy is still here with us. Jimmy we love you and miss you dearly, may all your birthday wishes come true where ever you are. Your in my heart foREVer. Love you Rev!

Comment by Jimmy

Wow! No words can describe the feeling i got when i read that u actually took the time out of your day to just to write a short reply to all of us fans.. makes me realize that this HAS happened to you, losing the best son and best drummer in the world. Hes my idol, and inspiration. Why i started playing drums 8 years ago. Thank you.

Comment by Mike Gee

Mrs. Sullivan, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to leave this. I can only imagine how much harder it is you and your family on this day. As Kortney had said, we’re all in this together. At the same time I would like to thank you for bringing such an amazing person as Jimmy into this world – he, as well as the band have affected many lives including my own in so many ways. My thoughts and prayers are with you all

Comment by Karissa V

Thank YOU Mrs.Sullivan! we are just returning all the love your son and his friends have gave us through all this years! From Costa Rica, we the A7X’s fans, we thank you for giving us Jimmy and everything he represent for all of us, and we would like to send a very big hug to you, your husband and all your family, its silly to say it but we are all here for you guys if you ever need anything.
God bless you.

Comment by Andres Pastor

Mrs. Sullivan,

Thank you for bringing a great guy into this world for us. He is an excellent musician and quite talented. I have never gotten the chance to meet him personally but attending the shows and seeing him perform live means just as much! :) Knowing that you are visiting this page and reading all our thoughts mean a lot as well.

Comment by Michelle H.

I know it’s been said many times but Mrs. Sullivan, no need to thank us. Thank you for sharing your words and most of all thank you for giving us Jimmy.He was a one of kind and will be foREver remembered.

Comment by ashleigh

Thankyou mrs Sullivan for bringing one of the most amazing people into this world for us to love and remember:)

Comment by Angst

It has been said so many times already, but Mrs. Sullivan, there is no need to thank us. We are thanking YOU.

Thank you so much for taking some time out of your day to write that to us, it really means a lot and thank you for giving us such a wonderful person to look up to and be inspired by.

Jimmy truly was a remarkable human being and from the first time I heard Avenged Sevenfold, I loved everything about their personalities. Jimmy in particular took me back a little, you just couldn’t tell what crazy thing he was going to do next but that is the exact reason why we loved (and continue to love) him. He was different, but in the best way possible and he embraced it with everything he had.

I never got the chance to meet Jimmy or see him play live, but I didn’t need to. His infectious soul spread throughout the A7X FAMILY and many felt they knew him, including myself.

Your son’s music helped each and every one of us, whatever our situation or emotions were – there had been a song to fix it. So thank you once again, for bringing him into this world and giving us one of the best musicians to have ever walked on this Earth.

Yesterday was a day of celebration for many of us and I know we were all thinking of your family.

Such a beautiful soul shall never be forgotten. Jimmy will be loved and remembered by thousands all over the world until the end of time.

FoREVer in our hearts.

When it gets to the part when Jimmy sings then screams and then the solo part all ways chills me and gets me going.

Last night I was listening to Pinkly Smooth and I remembered that The Rev’s b-day is in February and so I went to go look it up and it turns out that it was the day before it!

Jimmy was a musical genious. From his amazing, memorable, crazy awesome drumming to his limitless songwriting. His voice was very powerful yet very beautiful and in every video he seems to be keeping the laughs going. The Rev and all of a7x have been a huge part of my life and I can’t believe a part of it has had to leave. Happy Birthday my favorite musician ever, thank you for sharing your music and talent with all of us.

the impact jimmy made in this world as a human being and musician will resonate until the end of time. I grew up looking up to avenged sevenfold and i swear when i first heard the news my heart fell into my stomach as if i lost a dear close friend as well. Im pretty sure that goes for every one of the millions of fans world wide. and to think of how beautiful of a person you must be to touch as many lives as he has is just incredible. makes me want to be a better person. so thank you Mrs.Sullivan.

Comment by andy

There is no way we can know your pain, but knowing Jimmy is in a far better place, with loved ones, makes it much easier to endure. I hope your pain fades with time and the memories keep you close to him. foREVer in our hearts, Jimmy and A7X, be with you always.

Comment by Steve

for some reason, the other night while listening to a7x i had a horribly sad moment thinking about jimmy…i guess what they say about grief never fully ending is true.

foREVer…we miss you big man

Comment by otis

We’re the only ones who need to thank you here Mrs. Sullivan, for giving us this amazing person that Jimmy was, he is my hero and will be foREVer. When you are a kid you look up to those cartoon heroes because they give you hope and strenght to always be anyone you want to be, I guess Jimmy was this hero for millions of people in this world, and the best part was that he was real, that we could see him exercising his power, we could touch him and tell how important he was to all of us. I really wanted him to be here celebrating his birthday with you and everyone of his friends and related, but I guess we could celebrate here and we will feel him looking out for us. Thank you again, and Happy Jimmy’s Birthday because this date is the only one that really matters. Love <3

Happy birthday Jimmy!

I’ve always thought of myself as being made of stone, but i’ll admit i’ve shed a tear listening to fiction on more than one occcasion and today was no exception. You were a true inspiration to so many people and, undoubtedly, within the next 5-10 years we will see a lot of your drumming techniques and style features being used by younger bands due to how much you have inspired them.

Hope your kicking back with a cold one up there!
Love you man.
foREVer.

RIP Jimmy
we should be all celebrating with you on your bday
instead, we’ll have to postpone it until we party with you in the afterlife

Comment by stringerrathead

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Thank you soooo much for the gift you have given all Avenged Sevenfold fans Mr and Mrs. Sullivan, and Happy Birthday Jimmy!!!!

And to everyone having a hard time on this day to you I say…
Don’t cry because Jimmy died, SMILE because he lived.

Comment by michelle

Gonna miss Jimmy foREVer. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish he was back with us. But he is here with us..in all of out hearts!! He may not have been able to stay with us be he did a hell of a job leaving us something to remember him by. He wasnt just a drummer for a band. He a IDOL, a HERO, and TALENTED man who was a member of not only a band but a brotherhood. And thats why I think its so easy for us fans to truely love these guys. Cuz there not just band. There a family. And with all do respect to my hero I will not be sad today, for this is the day he came to this earth and for that we should ALL cherish today and be as happy as we can to know we were a part of that great mans life even if we didnt know him personally. Well…HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY!!! LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday Jimmy.
Wish you were here to celebrate your big 3-0 with all of us but as they say ‘nothing lasts forREVer’ and i am so grateful for the time we had with you. You touched my life with your music and brightened my world. I will always regret never having the chance to meet you but I am foREVer grateful to have the gift of music you left behind. I truly believe you found your little piece of heaven and I’m sure your wings are beautiful.

Comment by Courtney

Mrs. Sullivan,
I wish I could find the words to express how sorry I am for the loss of your son. You are truly living my worst nightmare. I do not even pretend to know what you as his mother, and the rest of his family (his bandmates included) must be feeling. But, I know I speak for all of Jimmy’s fans when I say that I think of him and miss him everyday. I had the honor of knowing Jimmy many years ago, and even in the brief amount of time that I knew him, I knew that he was a good boy and he was going to grow up to do amazing things. One of the few things in my life that I have been right about. And for that, I say thank you too! Thank you for bringing that incredible soul into this world and sharing him with those of us who will hold him in our hearts foREVer. God bless you.
