A candlelight vigil in Dayton Tuesday night is to remember, honor and cherish lives lost to suicide.

The Ohio Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and the Montgomery County Prevention Coalition (MCPC) will be holding a candlelight vigil for National Suicide Prevention Week at Levitt Pavilion. It will take place beginning at 7:30 p.m.

“Anyone whose life has been touched by suicide or struggles personally is welcome to attend and pay tribute to the byproduct of suicide and despair. We will gather in hope,” a release says.
