↳ R for The Rev.

We’re all blessed to have had him around. I think he lived 50 years worth in his 28. He did all he set out to do, and I guess he finished. He finished big. - Joe Sullivan

With Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan’s parents in the audience.

"The most important you could ever do is follow your dreams. You don’t have to be the best at what you do ‘cause people have already changed the world without being the best." - The Rev.

“He was, and remains, the most talented musician I have ever met. An artist almost beyond comprehension. He was an unbelievable writer, pianist, and singer that could have made a name for himself doing just those things. But he didn’t. He simply chose to be one of the best drummers on the planet.” - Papa Gates.
