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.

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
