Green River mayor fondly remembered after deadly accident
Last Friday night, city manager Edward Castro Bennett received a devastating phone call informing him of the tragic passing of his colleague and friend, Mayor Ren Hatt, in a car accident. The news came as a shock to Bennett, as Hatt had been Mayor since 2021 and had just been re-elected a month prior. Ren was known for his humble nature, his love for sports, and his impact on the Green River community, including high school students. The community is grieving and students paid tribute to Ren by wearing beanies at a basketball game. Counselors will be available at Green River High School to support students on Monday. The community is left with cherished memories of Ren and his profound legacy. An interim mayor has been appointed, with a process in place for selecting a new mayor. The details of the crash are still under investigation.
