Franklin Pauley, 69, of Nags Head, died February 22, 1954 at home from complications of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). He donated his brain to the University of Miami Brain Bank, where researchers from around the world study PSP in hopes of finding a cure. He was born on February 22, 1954 and was a Navy veteran.

Franklin did not want a funeral, so a graveside service will be held at a later date in Bristol, Va.

Those who wish to honor Franklin’s life, should become an organ donor, watch a football game, plant a tree, volunteer in your community, or spend time with your family.
