Buffett’s loss of life was introduced on his web site: “Jimmy handed away peacefully on the night time of September 1st surrounded by his household, mates, music, and canines. He lived his life like a music until the final breath and shall be missed past measure by so many.”
No explanation for loss of life was given.
You’d be forgiven for considering Buffett was a dyed-in-the-wool Florida Man™ — he was truly born in Mississippi. If his legacy is inextricably linked to 1 state, that state is Florida. (That, and the state of being greater than evenly buzzed.) His music has soundtracked innumerable getaways to the seashores of the Keys and the Gulf. Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, a sequence of informal eating eating places, may be discovered all throughout the state; Margaritaville resorts in Key West, Hollywood, Orlando, and Fort Myers Beach.
And a long time earlier than there have been Beliebers and Little Monsters, there have been Parrotheads, the legion of Buffett followers who subscribe to his ethos of carefree dwelling and imbibing — ideally Landshark — beneath the nice and cozy tropical solar.
He was a prodigious artist, releasing greater than 30 albums that mixed folks, nation, pop, and Caribbean components and bought over 20 million data worldwide. Later in his profession, he cashed in on his island-escapism way of life and turned it right into a hospitality empire that features eating places, resorts, and even a cruise ship.
So, when you’re off fishing Florida’s Gulf waters, pour one out for this honorary Florida Man.
