Born in Honea Path, he was a son of the late Walter Erskine and Margaret Louise Smith Vaughn. He was a member of Chiquola Baptist Church. Doug worked in building materials and supplies for many years, formerly with S.S. Smith Lumber Company of Belton, White Jones of Anderson, and most recently with Ace Hardware of Honea Path. He loved gardening, woodworking, fishing, and the Daytona 500 (along with any other NASCAR event). Above all, Doug enjoyed and poured his life into his family. Doug and Linda recently celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary, and spent another year watching their grandchildren grow up. The depth of his love, kindness, and gentle spirit will be missed by all who knew him well, especially his family.
In addition to his wife of the home, Doug is survived by one son: Christopher Douglas Vaughn and wife Kathryn of Charleston; and two grandchildren: Will and Emma Vaughn.
He was preceded in death by one sister: Barbara Caldwell.
