Vaughn

On December 17, 1958, John was born on a little farm to Mr. Eddie and Mrs. Louise (Pat York) Vaughn in Zebulon, Georgia. He enjoyed a happy childhood playing with his cousins on the farm and developed very deep friendships with them all.

He was an excellent student at East Pike Elementary and Pike County High. Upon graduation from high school, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corp. He had his basic training in Camp Lejeune, NC. During his enlistment he received the Rank of Lance Corporal E-3, trained to be an Organization Automotive Mechanic, received a Rifle Sharpshooter Badge, and a Good Medal. The end of his service was enjoyed in Japan. He received an Honorable Discharge with last reserve term date in 1984. He was employed many years by Borden Chemicals and he also worked in the construction and concrete trade.

He cherished his spiritual commitment to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Thomaston, Georgia.. He enjoyed the company of many friends and proved to be a very well loved member of the organization. It seems safe to say that no matter where he went, he was a friend to many and definitely anyone in need.

Mourning his loss are his sisters, Bessie (Gregory) Dawson, and Sara Vaughn; aunt Mrs. Joann Tucker, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends thta will miss him dearly.
