Jimmy Boyd Vaughan, of Maysville, was born October 25, 1957 in Seminole, Texas, to Boyd Eugene and Janetta Ruth (Ramsey) Vaughan. He joined his heavenly home on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at his home in Maysville, Oklahoma, at the age of 64 years.
Jimmy was a long-time resident of Maysville, graduating from Maysville High School in 1978. Upon graduating from high school, he worked in the oilfield for many years, and also ran a siding business with his brother, Brad. His great-nephews have many fond memories of getting to work alongside him as he taught them the ropes of the business. He took great pride in his work and was a very talented craftsman.
Jimmy loved to cook, work in his garden, play war games and watch football. He was a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan and a loyal and true OSU fan. He enjoyed watching the History Channel, old westerns and was an avid reader of Louis L’Amour.
Jimmy was a loyal and devoted family man and loved each member of his family unconditionally. He made it a point to greet each one with a hug and ear-to-ear grin any time he saw them. He took on an active role in helping to raise his nephews and nieces, Joe, Jake, Heather and Holli. Jimmy never met a stranger and enjoyed visiting with friends and acquaintances. He took great joy in life and had a heart so big that he’d rather go without himself, then to see a person struggle. His orneriness has to be accounted for, as well as his joy and his love. Jimmy did everything a little extra. He was a very big man in that scrawny body. He will be missed immensely by his family and friends. We will hold his memory close to our hearts until we meet again.
He is survived by his mother, Janetta Vaughan; brother, Brad Vaughan; two sisters, Michelle Morehead and husband, David, and Beth Curry; plus many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Boyd Vaughan; sister, Ginger Kay Ramsey; and brother, Mike Vaughan.
Memorial services were held Saturday, December 11, 2021, at Winans Funeral Home Chapel in Maysville, Oklahoma, with Bro. Danny Gamble officiating. Arrangements were under the direction of John W. Williams of Winans Funeral Home, Maysville. Words of comfort may be sent to the family at www.winansfuneralhome.com.
