23- DOUGLAS CANDLER — Videographer/philanthropist
Douglas Harper Candler is one of those silent angels whose quiet gifts to the community go largely unheralded except for his name engraved on plagues and buildings as a Founding Member, a Founders Circle, or some other testament to his generosity. A gifted videographer, Doug was the co-executive producer of the 2007 film Burn. His great-great-grandfather Asa Griggs Candler, was the sole owner of Coca-Cola Corporation, until he divested it to his children. While Doug has distanced himself from his roots in Atlanta since moving into lavish digs in Wilton Manors, his family’s name remains on buildings, parks and monuments throughout Georgia.
