M. Bradley McLaurin, 61, of Little Rock passed from this life on Saturday, March 19, 2022. He was born Tuesday, November 29, 1960 in Ponchatoula, Louisiana to Michael Ray Vaughan and Elizabeth Ann (Mazzanti) McLaurin. Mr. McLaurin was a graduate of the University of Arkansas with a degree in Architecture and was a partner at WER Architects in Little Rock. Bradley was a faithful member of Holy Souls Catholic Church. His hobbies included golf, hunting and fishing, but his passion was in brewing craft beer. With his friends and family by his side, this passion was transformed into Little Rocks own Stones Throw Brewing. Although he had many hobbies and interests, nothing made him happier than being with his family. He volunteered as a scout master for ten years and was an avid Arkansas Razorbacks fan. He was preceded in death by his father.

Survivors include his wife of thirty-three years, Dr. Rosa Marie McLaurin; children, Garrett McLaurin, and Katie McLaurin both of Little Rock, and mother, Libby Harris of Statesville, North Carolina. Other survivors include siblings, Donald McLaurin (Angie) of Lexington, Kentucky, Renhard McLaurin (Amy) of Statesville, North Carolina, Lisa Fallon (Jason) of Cumming, Georgia, along with several nieces, nephews, extended family, and dearly loved friends.

Mass of Christian Burial will be 1:00pm, Friday, March 25, 2022 at Our Lady of the Holy Souls Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Bradley’s memory may be made to the Bradley McLaurin Memorial Fund at https://gofund.me/7c8765b9
