“It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan.

“Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers, but more importantly, he was our best friend and brother.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy’s family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

According to The Orange County Register, James Owen Sullivan was found dead at his home on Monday (December 28). He was 28 years old.

Sullivan appears to have died of natural causes, Huntington Beach police Lt. John Domingo told The Orange County Register. Police were notified by firefighters who had responded to Sullivan’s home about 1 p.m., according to the report.

The sad news of Avenged Sevenfold Drummer Jimmy ”The Rev” Sullivan passing away has been confirmed.  Details are sparse at the moment.  He was found in his home and the cause of death has been ruled natural causes.  The band posted this statement on their website:

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan.  Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy’s family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Jimmy you are forever in our hearts.
We love you.
