Jimmy Buffett became more than a singer who got his start at a small Key West bar.
He was a business empire. An environmental activist. An author.
He was a South Florida celebrity who never forgot where it all started.
He kept homes in Florida and returned often, to perform or speak or appear at local events. One of his final concerts was back in Key West.
Buffett died Sept. 1 at 76. He leaves behind a legion of Parrothead fans, an empire of Margaritaville restaurants and resorts and products, and many tunes stuck in our head forever.
Here is a look at Buffett through the years in Miami, the Keys and elsewhere in the Sunshine State.

The goal, officials say, is to lay the groundwork for potentially destructive cyberattacks in the event of a future conflict between China and the U.S., such as over a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
