Bill Scurlock Death, Obituary – Our founder and owner, Bill Scurlock, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, leaving a lasting impact on the Texarkana community. Bill was more than just a businessman; he was a hard-working visionary who dedicated himself to creating a space where people could come together over good beer, quality food, and the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Texarkana. His passing has left a deep void in the hearts of everyone who knew him, but his legacy will live on through the community he helped build.
 A Vision for Downtown Texarkana
When Bill dreamed of opening a brewpub, there was never any doubt that it would be in downtown Texarkana. He saw the potential in the area and worked tirelessly to help revitalize it. With the opening of **Pecan Point Brewpub**, Bill played a crucial role in bringing new life to downtown, creating a place where locals and visitors could enjoy not just food and drink but also the culture and spirit of the community.
Though humble and unassuming, Bill’s efforts earned him recognition as one of the driving forces behind the downtown cultural revival. Pecan Point became more than just a restaurant; it was a cornerstone of Texarkana’s growth, bringing people together in a shared love for great experiences.
