Jimmy Buffett’s Daughter: My Dad Was ‘A Man Whose Spirit Could Not Be Broken’ in His Final Days
After the tragic death of legendary music icon Jimmy Buffett, his daughter is speaking out about the man she knew in a lengthy social media post.
Buffett’s daughter, Delaney, referred to her dad as “a man whose spirit could not be broken.”
“Despite the pain, he smiled everyday. He was kind when he had every excuse not to be,” she continued. “He told us not to be sad or scared, but to keep the party going.”
The “Margaritaville” singer died on Sept. 1 in Sag Harbor, Long Island, after a lengthy battle with Merkel Cell skin cancer.
