NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A month after his unexpected death, Randy Rayburn's friends and coworkers will remember the man behind several iconic Nashville restaurants.
A celebration of life will be held in 12 South on Monday night at Urban Grub from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. It's open to the community.
Organizers suggest a donation to The Duke and Dean Rayburn Trust or The Randy Rayburn Scholarship at The Randy Rayburn School of Culinary Arts at Nashville State in his honor.
In a social media post from his restaurant Midtown Cafe, it states the spot has been busy with people reaching out and stopping by to share their favorite memories.

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
