Many gathered outside the burned Flying Possum Leather shop on Dickson Street in remembrance of the store owner, Bruce Walker, who died today after his store caught fire sometime early Monday.

The Fayetteville Flyer has more about services planned to remember Walker.

Local photographer Cody Davis captured some images from an impromptu jam session and gathering that happened once word of the Dickson Street owner’s death became public knowledge.

Also, Maliah Bewley Pinkleton added to her Facebook page a short video of musicians playing outside of the store.
