One of the most inspiring musicians of our decade. His heart, his drumsticks brought a calming yet frantic feeling to those who witnessed his performance. The Rev just replaced Jerry Fuchs in Vic's band in Heaven,
Abdullah

You will be missed, you inspired lots of people, And for those using this as a chance to mock and make jokes, I hope you never know how it feels to lose someone close to you, cause he had family, and fans and its a sad world we live in when people cant find enough morality within themselves to keep their opinion out of it.

... I listen to some Avenged Sevenfold... but that's my boyfriends favorite band.. now I have to break the news to him next time I see him... It's going to break his heart, which will break mine... RIP James Owen Sullivan
Lukey Boy's Girlfriend
I didn't know James nor Sevenfold, but I knew his father from working in a church a few years ago. He comes from a great loving and religious family. His dad exemplifies what it means to be a true Christian (boy scout dad, raised money for causes, volunteered his time to church). RIP James.

I'm sorry to hear this :( Mourning with family and friends.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children.
And as for those insulting this guy, you need to look at yourself in the mirror, and realise that one day you will be dead to and that you sew what you reap. This isn't just a toy for your entertainment, something to play around with, this is a person, with family and friends who cared about him. When somebody close to you dies, I hope nobody makes sick comments to you.

A common misconception of Jimmy's death that it was an overdose of recreational drugs. THIS IS UNTRUE. JIMMY WASN'T AN ADDICT. He made the mistake of mixing his prescription drugs for anxiety and painkillers together, and taking them with alcohol. Doctors often make the mistake of not telling their patients the harmful side affects of taking some drugs together, and this was a horribly common error. I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy took his medication at one time, then hours later ingested alcohol, not knowing the drugs were still in his system.
Jimmy, you are always and foREVer in my heart. I loved you, and no one can ever replace you. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.
