Larry Edward Vaughn of Martinsville, Virginia passed away on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at his home after a brave battle with ALS. His parents were the late Ellis L. Vaughn, Sr. and the late Annie E.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers, Ellis Vaughn Jr., Johnny Vaughn, Buren Vaughn, Vernon Vaughn, and Brogie Vaughn; and sisters, Eva Heckman, Ruby Utt, Erma Utt, and Marie Bell.
Other than three years of military service, Larry lived in Martinsville and Henry County his entire life. He attended school in Martinsville and completed 12 years of education.
