Obituary

Mr. David Lindsey "Dee" Vaughn, 75, of Duck Hill, passed away on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 at St. Dominic/Jackson Memorial Hospital in Jackson.  He was born November 5, 1949 in Ruleville to Norman W. and Marie McCool Vaughn.  He was a member of Unity Baptist Church.  David is remembered for his mechanical genius and inventions, and most of all, his laugh.  He lived life at full speed, never slowing down.  His work ethic was admired by everyone.  "I live on a lake, that's my life," was his motto.  He worked at Heatcraft before leaving to start several businesses.  He also developed "Vaughn Lake" as a popular fishing/camping area and the annual 4th of July Fireworks.  He loved people of all ages and was always ready to lend a hand if needed.
