Candlelight vigil honors Hanrahan

Megan Broome/The Clayton Tribune. Rabun County community members held a Candlelight Vigil at the north end of Ingles in Clayton Aug. 7 to honor the life of Rabun Gap man Frank Hanrahan, who suddenly died in a motor vehicle crash July 31. Hanrahan worked at the Clayton Ingles for 23 years and those honoring him lit candles, played “Amazing Grace” and released 23 balloons representing his 23 years at the business.

Megan Broome/The Clayton Tribune. Those who knew Hanrahan well signed a guest book sharing stories of how Hanrahan impacted their lives in a positive way on a daily basis during the Candlelight Vigil honoring his life. The table with flowers and pictures of Hanrahan had a sign that read, “The light remains: There are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they have gone, the light remains. In Memory of Frank Hanrahan.”
