Jeremy Michael Ward
May 5, 1976 – May 25, 2003
Member of the 27 Club
Jeremy Michael Ward was best known for his work with progressive alternative rock band, The Mars Volta, with whom he worked as a sound technician. The band’s 2003 De-Loused in the Comatorium benefited from Ward’s obvious talent. When not working with the band or its splinter projects, Ward was a pen and ink artist. On May 25, 2003, roughly one month after the release of De-Loused, Jeremy Michael Ward was found dead in his apartment of an apparent heroin overdose. He was 27 years old.
We miss you man.
Jeremy is an inspiration to musicians and artists alike. Truly a pioneer who’s influence is widespread…further than most realize. He contributed to the world with not only his art and music but also his unique perspective and magnetic personality. Jeremy had the ability to create like no other and never compromised his artistic visions. He was the genuine article, focused on the expression and content of his creations and unconcerned with image or superficial aspects. He was loyal and sincere in life and art… he is missed.
