It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Stuart J. Lawley, renowned serial entrepreneur and beloved family member, who left us at the age of 61 in Jupiter, Florida, on November 26, 2024.
Born in the West Midlands, UK in 1963, Stuart was a force of nature from an early age. He achieved national recognition as a junior race car driver in the 1970s, winning the championship twice while racing Formula 6 single-seat cars. His passion for engineering led him to attend the prestigious Imperial College London, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1985.
Over the next two decades, Stuart founded and developed several highly successful businesses, achieving multiple multi-million dollar exits. Among his most notable ventures were Eurofax, OneView and ICM Registry, which he regarded as his finest work and contributions.
Stuart was known for his no-nonsense approach to life and his unwavering commitment to his beliefs. He valued moral courage and meaningful action above all else. Beneath his tough exterior was a kind-hearted and generous spirit. His love for animals was evident in his dedication to rescuing neglected and mistreated dogs, including Fenton, Blake, Skippy, Harald I & Harald II.
Following the tragic loss of his only child, Sabian, in early 2022—a pedestrian victim of a hit-and-run accident—Stuart retreated from the business world to explore philanthropic avenues that aligned with his values, most notably working with the Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee Groves, FL.
Stuart, son of Fred, brother of Trevor and father of Sabian is survived by his wife, Consuelo; loving mother, Lily and sister, Emma. He will be profoundly missed by family and friends who knew him as a one-of-a-kind individual with an indomitable spirit.
A celebration of Stuart's life will be held on December 14, 2024 at 10:00 AM (EST) at Aycock-Riverside Funeral and Cremation Center located at 1112 Military Trail, Jupiter, FL 33458. The memorial service will be streamed live to allow family and friends from around the world to participate here: https://youtube.com/live/QrihM07-DsY?feature=share
