KILL DEVIL HILLS, N. C. (WAVY) — “The day the music died. RIP Ravann and Sebi you will be missed.”
This is what the sign read outside Outer Banks Brewing Station Tuesday. It’s a tribute to a mother and son who passed away in a house fire over the weekend. The mother, Ann Horton, was known to her friends as Ravann and worked at Outer Banks Brewing Station for years.
Owner Aubrey Davis remembers the impact Ravann left on people.
“She’s one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Careful, caring about others, she was very spiritual, she’d do anything in the world for you,” said Davis.
Davis says Ravann was a concert promoter and talent buyer for his business, bringing in many different bands and singers to Kill Devil Hills.
“I’m certainly gonna miss her, and everybody here at the brewing station is. She got to be part of the family with the last four years,” he said.
Her son Sebastian, who everyone knew as Sebi, was a third-grader at Nags Head Elementary School.
“Nine years old, he had all the energy in the world and loved music like his mom,” said Davis.
Multiple people have reached out to 10 On Your Side, describing sweet memories of the two and sharing pictures of happier times. Davis says this tight-knit community will miss them both.
“The world is a lonelier place without them in it — and fly high you two,” said Davis.
Friends and family members wanted to leave some messages about Ravann and Sebi:
