Not sure what to say?

His music soothed me. Peace to the LaFave family.

Had Jimmy Lafave cd Road Noval in my collection. Played it during UK lockdown unknown to me Jimmy had past away.
Researched more of Jimmy's music and know own 15 of Jimmy Lafave's cd's. I have especially enjoyed all of The Trail cd's, just wish i had seen this exceptional brilliant musician with a singing voice i adore.
Loving playing Jimmy's music ar home abd in my car. A legend.

The dark pandemic brought me the darker news of you. I learned of your passing three years after your death. RIP, Sweetheart.❤

First heard Jimmy's music in Stillwater OK in 1976. He just popped up on Amazon Music, his sweet sound brought back great memories! RIP

From dancing at the Hole in the Wall the first time I heard him, to sitting on a tailgate with him at a campfire in Kerrville trying to convince him to play, to the time he and Barbara very kindly gave me a ride from the Cactus Cafe one late night, I have many wonderful memories of Jimmy and I am so very, very sorry to hear of his passing.

Thank you Sweet Jimmy, for all the moments of joy we received from your gift of song. We are so sorry to know you're gone, but we will lift a glass to you each time we hear your perfect voice singing a perfect song.

I cannot express the sadness in my heart. One of the truly greatest talents in the world. His music, his kindness, his humor will be missed.

This is the saddest news! I can not believe that he is gone. My heartfelt condolences to the family. You will be missed greatly Jimmy! Thank you for the wonderful, birthday memory at the Mucky Duck! Much love and sadness.

So sorry for your loss. May Almighty God grant you peace as you cope with your loss. Jer.29:11
