James “Mac” McLachlan IV
James “Mac” McLachlan IV, 37, a former resident of Kinder, LA and current resident of Covington, LA departed this life unexpectedly on the 20th of Feb., 2019. Mac was a deeply loved and cherished father, husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew and friend. He was larger than life, making friends everywhere he went. Mac is preceded in death by his grandparents Margaret Menetre and James McLachlan, Jr., and Harry K. Wakeley.
He is survived by his loving wife, Jennifer Buras McLachlan, of 6 years, and their two precious children Wakeley Mae, James Walker, and one soon to be born baby girl, Arden Corinne. He will lovingly be remembered by his parents, James “Jimbo” McLachlan III (Jackie Maravich) and Linda Wakeley Bard (Bruce); his maternal grandmother, Ella V. Wakeley; his brother Michael McLachlan (DeLacy); stepbrothers Jaeson and Joshua Maravich; several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, and numerous friends. Mac was a graduate of Kinder High School, Class of 2000. He graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Science. At an early age, Mac loved football and was first team All District in three positions his senior year. At 6 years old he said his dream was to run through that tunnel at LSU’s Tiger Stadium and he made that dream come true as an offensive lineman 2000-2003. He was honored to play in the National Championship as part of his beloved LSU Tigers in 2003. He enjoyed a successful career as Vice President of Erwin Insurance. May his memory inspire all who knew him.

How did he pass?

A fantastic man from a great family. He will be missed by the Covington community. Somewhere I have a picture of my youngest son and Mac from a visit he made to the local elementary school in 2003. My son couldn't stop chattering about it that evening. Mac wore his LSU jersey and it was like he met a superhero. In a way, he kind of did. What a wonderful memory. It is just one example of how awesome Mac was. Thanks for that memory Mac. Prayers to the family. RIP

At 37? Jeez. That's terrible.

RIP Tiger. Man that’s sad and hits home for me. I’ve had two relatives pass from heart attacks in their late 30’s. It’s why I started seeing a cardiologist yearly at age 30.

Great guy and a great family. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with them

We had many mutual friends & crossed paths many times with Mac during college. Great guy. Later on would bump into him in random spots, mostly at LSU FB games and such, and would always say hello & chat it up for a bit.
A down-to-earth & genuinely great person that will be missed. Prayers sent to his wife, children & family that must be struggling through this time.
RIP Big Fella.

I hate hearing about this happening to anyone, but man, 37yrs old.....That's a tough pill to swallow. I hate seeing young lives end when they aren't supposed to.

Interesting.
Did Mac get a lot of playing time? I sadly don't recognize his name.
Sad deal all the way around.

At 37? Causes me to wonder if he had some serious undiagnosed heart issue.
Also, whenever the Obit leaves out the cause to death, it always makes me think it's suicide. That's not the case here.
RIP and my condolences to the family.

Good dude. He had just lost some weight too so I know he was trying to get healthier. Baby on the way next month- just really sad.

One of the best

Looking at his LSU bio he was a walkon in 2000. The bio is incomplete as it was last updated before what appears to be his final season. He did letter at least once, which means at minimum that he was recognized as a good contributor regardless of participation.

Criteria to letter at LSU

Mac was one of the funniest guys to be around. Last time we hung out was the spring game weekend last year. This sucks. RIP Big Mac

That is horrible. Feel so utterly bad for his babies, tough card to deal with for their young lives.
