Vaughn Even, 75, of Marion, passed away on Tuesday, February 9, 2016.

Vaughn was born February 17, 1940, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the son of Frances and Marie (Schmitt) Even, graduating from Washington High School in 1958.

Vaughn was united in marriage to Adah McArtor in October of 1959. They shared many memories together until her passing in 2005.

Von was a graphic designer for various local agencies until opening and operating his own, Advantage, Inc. After dissolving that company he opened Ad-Two, Inc., as well as Cedar Ridge Publishing. Both companies thrived until Von retired from the industry. The agency served local as well as national clients and garnered acclaim and awards, growing to become one of the premiere agencies in the area.

Though a talented designer, Von's true love was photography. His skill behind a camera allowed him to be on the sidelines of such exciting venues as Super Bowls and space shuttle launches, but his favorite photographic subjects were his grandchildren.

Von enjoyed tennis and was an avid golfer to consummate poker player.

He was preceded in death by his spouse, and parents.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, February 13, 2016 at 10:30 AM at Cedar Memorial Chapel of Memories. A visitation will be on Friday, February 12, 2016 from 4 to 7 PM at Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery.
