Brent McLaughlin

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brent Lee McLaughlin (57) of Marietta, Georgia. Better known to those that knew him as 'Moose'. Moose went home to be with the Lord on January 21, 2025. His sudden and unexpected passing has left all of us heartbroken, but we are rejoicing knowing that he'll be spending eternity with Jesus.



Brent was born in Rapid City, South Dakota where he spent his childhood and early adult life. He enjoyed wrestling and played football at Douglas High School. Growing up in a small town helped to shape his love for the outdoors. Moose felt at peace while spending time outdoors and was an avid hunter. He was a man of many talents. He could fix anything and loved tinkering in his workshop. Moose was a self-taught chef and grill master; he loved cooking for a crowd and never passed up a chance to make a meal for family and friends. His love for music ran deep in his bones. Moose played the piano, guitar, banjo, ukulele, violin, and harmonica. There wasn't an instrument he didn't like or couldn't play. The legacy of his passion for music will continue through his son Steven.



Moose married the love of this life Sarah in 2009 and together they had three beautiful daughters: Reagan, Reese, and Ryan. Moose was a devoted father and husband. He and Sarah built a beautiful life together and created wonderful memories that will be cherished forever.



Brent was a member of Kennesaw First Baptist Church where he served on the security team. He was baptized alongside Sarah and his daughters in 2021. Brent loved the Lord and was proud of his faith.



Moose will always be known for his kind, loving, caring and humorous personality and he will be missed by all those that knew him.



Brent is survived by his parents Garry and DeLaine, his wife Sarah and their daughters Reagan, Reese, and Ryan. His sons, Steven (Amber), Brandon, and Dustin. Grandchildren, Kailee and Darrell. His sister, Michelle (Shawn) and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.



A funeral service is scheduled for Saturday, January 25, 2025, in the Chapel at Kennesaw First Baptist Church at 11:00 a.m. with Dr. Perry Fowler officiating. The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service.
