Vaughan Douglas Maughan

Vaughan Douglas Maughan, 49, died unexpectedly Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2003, at his home in Twin Falls.

He was born June 21, 1954, in Pocatello, Idaho, to Fred H. Maughan and Sue Carole Maughan. Doug was the first of six children born to Fred and Carole. Doug brought immediate joy to the young Maughan family as they carved out a good living in Pocatello. Doug moved to Twin Falls when he was 14 and lived the rest of his life in the city that he loved. Doug graduated from Twin Falls High School in 1974 where he made many lifetime friends. Doug worked for several years for Magic Valley Rehabilitation Services and had a deep fondness for the staff that helped him develop life skills that would eventually enable him to live independently on his own. Doug enjoyed a wonderful life visiting his many friends and keeping in daily contact with his family. Doug was our family communicator. If anyone of us needed family news, Doug was the one to call for an update. He kept us all in touch and would not take no for an answer when it came to birthday greetings, Christmas get-togethers or family barbecues. Doug will be sorely missed. His unexpected passing will leave a tremendous void in all the lives that he touched. He taught us important lessons to live by such as telling those you love everyday how much they mean to you. Doug never met a stranger. He loved all types of music, especially rock and roll.

Doug is survived by his parents, Fred (Kay) Maughan, Sue Carole (Ray) Rocha; his brothers, Dennis (Pam) Maughan, Scott (Jackie) Maughan; sisters, Vicki Daily, Shelli (Armando) Ornelas and Chris (Dale) Kelly. Doug loved his many nephews and nieces, cousins, aunts and uncles.

Doug was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Vaughan Lyons, DDS; grandmother, Marion Lyons; paternal grandfather, Morgan P. Maughan; grandmother, Eleanor Maughan.
