Buffett was still playing music and performing up until his last few months of life.
His last show was in Rhode Island in July 2023.
Buffett didn’t openly share his diagnosis and he also didn’t let his prognosis bring him down.
And his upbeat attitude stretched far beyond his music.
“I have never seen Jimmy depressed ever.
Not even at the end.
“There was no way to slow him down,” Hiaasen recalled.
“Despite the pain, he smiled every day.
He was kind when he had every excuse not to be.
Buffett is also survived by his daughter, Savannah Buffett, and son, Cameron Buffett.
She echoed some of the same things that others close to Buffett have said.
“Jimmy was love.
Every cell in his body was filled with joy.
He smiled all the time, even when he was deeply ill. And his sense of humor never wavered.
Jimmy was always the optimist, always twinkling, always making us laugh,” she wrote.
In February 2023, Buffett shared anInstagramphoto from his time snorkeling in Key West, Florida.
Indeed, Buffett was recording music until he couldn’t.
