Being at home, Dennis Dewey Vaughn, 66, passed away with his family in Dexter as he went to his heavenly home on Tuesday, February 13th, 2018. A memorial service has been planned for Saturday, February 17th at 10am at the Eastside Church of Christ at 301 E. 2nd St in Dexter. Dennis was born June 2, 1951 in Hemet, CA to Lee and Lucille Vaughn. He grew up in California and attended Santa Monica Community College. He went on to spend much of his life as an electrician and retired from New Mexico Military Institute. On Valentine’s Day 1980 he married Jeanie (Burns) Vaughn in Roswell, NM. They raised their girls in Dexter and his wife remains at the family home. Dennis loved to fish, often seen with a fishing pole in one hand and a diet Pepsi in the other. If he wasn’t fishing, he was chasing kids or grandkids around the state to practices, performances, games, or other youth events. He loved his family and dogs Max and Woofie. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lee and Lucille Vaughn and his father-in-law Jim L Burns.
