It’s prob the only celebrity death I’ve ever experienced that’s actually hurt. Hit me in the heart real real bad. I miss him.

!00% this.

Outside of actual family, losing him hits hard. They say never meet your heros, ,and I guess this is a fine example, because so much of his musical persona was crafted over a period of time which created an aura that may have existed, for a time, but didn't endure. Much of my formative years revolved around a fictional version of Jimmy Buffett, and his attitude towards life as depicted by song.
