Ricky Vaughn

Ricky Lee Vaughn, known affectionately by friends and family as RV, passed away at 62 years old on July 6, 2026 at His Home by his side his daughter, Tara and Sister Taresa, a nephew and neighbors. Born on November 7, 1963, in Friona, TX, Ricky lived a life characterized by his humble spirit, unwavering loyalty, and reliable nature. His intelligence, often displayed through his witty remarks and sound advice, is one that will be forever cherished by all who knew him.

Ricky spent his working years in the construction business, a career that not only demonstrated his smart, practical mind but also his dependable work ethic. He was a man who loved his work and took great pride in his craft. Upon retirement, Ricky made his home in Morrilton, Arkansas, after living in various places including Texas and California. In his free time, Ricky was an enthusiastic collector and had a keen interest in coins, arrowheads, and Indian memorabilia. He also enjoyed watching football, visiting with friends and family, and spending quiet moments on his porch with his beloved dog, Rowdy.

What mattered most to Ricky were his children and grandchildren. He was a devoted father to his daughter Tara and loved his son Travis, and a proud grandfather to grandson Travis II and granddaughter Jonah Vaughn. His love extended to his three sisters, two brothers, twelve nieces, and eight nephews, dear friend Johnny Banks and many more friends all of whom survive him. Ricky was predeceased by his father Delbert Vaughn, mother Louella Borden, and son Calvin Vaughn, dear friend Ricky Kent.
