“There was no such place as Margaritaville,” Buffett told the Arizona Republic in 2021. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.” “Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement posted to Buffett’s official website and social media pages said late Friday. In Jimmy’s world, guests are welcomed, encouraged to leave their cares behind and made to feel at home – indeed the spirit of the Potlatch (Native Americans of America’s Northwest),” Meade said. “He saw Margaritaville as a way to bring fun, enjoyment and a vacation state of mind to as many people as possible. The Margaritaville brand is named after Buffett’s smash hit song “Margaritaville. “It was that commitment, expressed through his Margaritaville business ventures, that spawned a partnership between the Coquille Tribe and Margaritaville,” Meade said.
