Community to honor business leader

A memorial service has been set for prominent architect and entrepreneur Rick Fawley, who died Sept. 2.

The celebration of life service is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Oct. 4 at the South Florida Museum in downtown Bradenton. Fawley and Mike Bryant co-founded Lakewood Ranch-based Fawley|Bryant Architecture in 1994, a firm that ultimately grew into one of the largest independently owned architecture, design and urban planning firms on the Gulf Coast.

“Rick was a true visionary who loved this community and people,” according to a statement on the service.
