Jimmy Buffett, along with his family, found solace in each other’s company during his final days. His sister, Laurie Buffett McGuane, revealed to People that they spent their time reminiscing about their shared childhood.
On September 1, Buffett’s family announced his passing in a statement. According to a statement posted on his official website on Sunday, the iconic singer-songwriter had been battling Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare form of skin cancer, for the past four years.
Buffett McGuane shared that Jimmy Buffett’s final moments were filled with family and cherished memories of their earlier years. “We shared memories of our childhood with Jimmy during his last days,” she told People. “We would repeat stories, and Jimmy would laugh and nod his head to let us know that he remembered.”
In his final moments, Jimmy Buffett remained resilient and joyful. Buffett McGuane said, “Even in those last moments, I have never seen Jimmy depressed ever. Not even at the end. We all like to joke and laugh and that was very much Jimmy.”
Reflecting on his generous nature, Buffett McGuane recalled a memory from their childhood when she broke her leg and Jimmy brought her favorite chocolate milk. “When Jimmy was in the world, I felt safe. Even though I have [my husband] Tom, it will be a whole new thing for me to be without my brother Jimmy,” she expressed to People.
Meanwhile, Tom McGuane attended the premiere of the film “All That Is Sacred” alone. The film features both McGuane and Buffett and explores Key West in the 1970s. Buffett was meant to accompany Tom to the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado this weekend.
Prior to his passing, McGuane wrote a note to Buffett, acknowledging his lasting impact. “What you did in your career has a long future, but you may not be there for the applause,” McGuane wrote, as shared by People.
“Jimmy always had a dream that he pursued until the end,” Buffett McGuane said of her brother. “He did a lot of things in between, but hit Key West when he was pretty unknown, and never gave up, up until crowds began coming to listen to him perform. He was a phenomenal person.”
