Surrounded by those he most loved, Jimmy Buffett passed away peacefully on September 1, 2023 at 76. Tributes poured in from every corner of the globe as family, colleagues, and fans remembered a man who brought delight into their lives and who genuinely loved everyone he met. Longtime traveler, sailor, pilot and performer from humble roots who branded “island escapism” as his sound and message, he became one of the most successful performers of the modern era through spreading his brand into hundreds of products and experiences. He never lost his love of the cheeseburger nor his appreciation for his Alabama/Mississippi roots or his jubilation in living the life of a beach bum. To have fun and to bring joy to his fans through his folk-country-Caribbean music was his ultimate goal.
