Gary Raymond Vaughan

On May 26, 2025, Gary Raymond Vaughan was called home to be with our Lord and Savior at 68 years old.

A Celebration of Life is planned for 1:00 p.m., Saturday, June 7, 2025 at Vanderveer St. Church of Christ in Burnet.

He was born July 5, 1956, in Galveston, Texas to parents John Robert Lloyd Vaughan and Betty Sue Vaughan. He is survived by his 2 children, Emily Vaughan and Justin Vaughan, and his three siblings, Johnny Vaughan and wife Peggy, Scott Vaughan and wife Kelly, Gayle Barnes and husband Jeff. Gary also leaves behind his granddaughter Nova, 3 nephews, 2 nieces, and many beloved friends and extended family.

Gary grew up in Longview, Texas where he played baseball, went bird hunting with his dad and began his love for motorcycles. Gary often returned to Longview where he continued to maintain close friendships with those he grew up with. Gary graduated from Sam Houston State with a degree in criminal justice and became a probation officer for many years. He then went on to start Vaughan’s AC and Heating where he found a passion for helping others. Gary never left someone without what they needed.

Gary found joy in baseball games, hometown sports, AC/DC concerts, cruising on his motorcycles, spending time at the lake, and teaching his granddaughter how to throw a football. He never left a room without making everyone laugh, the deep belly ache laugh. Gary was one of a kind that continuously brought a smile to all faces and had a heart for others. Some might call him an absolute legend. While we grieve the loss of Gary, we remember the happiness and memories he blessed us with. To know him was to love him.
