He made it to 76. I always figured he’d be one to go on into his 90’s. Too many cheeseburgers, maybe? Sail on sailor!
Aww, that’s sad. I love his music.

Pour me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane before I go insane…
Dude used to party like most people can’t comprehend, even people who think they party hard. Buffet was on another level, an animal. I respect that LOL.
If you see any dejected parrot headed folks walking around, by 'em a margarita.
Too much sun. He died of skin cancer.
dang. such a successful billionaire he was
rip
hopefully he’ll have his cheeseburgers in paradise now
Never did the Parrothead thing (got dragged to his shows a couple of times, but not really my jam). Still, I think he ended up an underrated songwriter. Years ago, someone asked Bob Dylan about his favorites and he included Jimmy Buffet. Definitely a super-smart guy.
As Samm said, a sun filled life.
He got skin cancer and then later developed the lymphoma that killed him (something that happens a lot), according to reports. Had been fighting the skin cancer for four years.
24 hours…76 years…really was way too short a stay.
Headed out to San Francisco for the Labor Day Weekend Show.
I bet he had his Hush Puppies on too. So fitting he went on Labor Day Weekend.
Jimmy’s music made me smile.
That is a fitting epitaph.
Headin’ up to see San Pedro…for the Labor Day weekend show….
He always put on a great concert.
