Brad Braughton

His favorite things in life were spending time with his family and watching his kids excel in sports. Brad was the definition of a family man, devoting much of his time practicing and encouraging his kids and others. You could often find him in the yard with the football throwing machine or in the driveway shooting hoops, not only with his kids, but with anyone who wanted to play along.

Brad loved his New Life Church family and made it a priority in his life. One of his greatest joys in life was watching the salvation and baptism of his children and his wife.

Brad grew up playing basketball, baseball, and football. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying duck hunting, fly fishing, and he was a competitive slalom skier.

Brad graduated from Hot Springs High School and the University of Arkansas with a degree in Accounting. He was a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity at the University of Arkansas. Brad was the CFO of Summit Properties in Hot Springs.
