He graduated from Crown Point Central School in 1981 and remained close friends with his classmates throughout his life. After graduating from Canton College, Vaughn went on to work for Verizon for 27 ½ years.

Vaughn could walk into a room and light it up like a Christmas tree with smiles, laughs, hugs and kisses. He was especially known for his warm, kind and sensitive heart. He would give to others before himself. He was a warrior and fighter in his final months of life.
