Danny was born on November 7, 1933 in Amarillo, Texas to Johnnie Mildred (Holman) and Daniel Dillard Vaughn. He shared sixty years of marriage with his best friend, Doris Jean (Clark) whom he met in Fort Smith, Arkansas while serving in US Army. He was blessed with two daughters. He was especially proud of his four granddaughters, his great granddaughter and his two grandsons and their families. He will also be missed by his beloved Cat, Butterscotch and many family members.

Danny will be remembered as a sincere and hardworking man with a love of jokes and laughter.

Danny served in the Army throughout the Vietnam War stationed in Okinawa and later Germany. He retired as a Master Sergeant after twenty-one years of service to his country. He would further his career as a postman with the USPS for twenty years. After retirement, Danny enjoyed gambling with his wife in Coushatta, calling BINGO at his local VFW, and attending meetings at the American Legion. He spent his last years watching his family grow and gracing the halls of Frank Tejeda Veterans home on his high-speed scooter and calling the shots. His friends will never forget his deep laugh, his bright smile and his love and devotion to his family and friends.
