Vaughn's career was driving an Eighteen wheeler where he owned and operated Brune Trucking and at one time had up to Five trucks/drivers. His truck CB handle was "Booger Red," in which his latest dog was namesake. His dream was to get his "Old Pete" running again to take to truck shows. But what he loved was racing with his brother in law and friends and as years went by, with his children. He was very well known in the Houston area. He worked very hard and purchased his ARCA race car in the 80's where he raced it at Daytona and Talladega. He was a very good Race Car driver and impressed many in the Racing Circuit. Through the years he enjoyed watching NASCAR, Wheel of Fortune, Price Is Right, Family Feud, and Let's Make A Deal. He enjoyed doing his word find books at home. He loved visiting with his neighbors and sitting on his front porch. He enjoyed spending time with his family and especially his grandchildren, who loved their GPa dearly. He loved watching his youngest granddaughter, Madison, play Softball and watched her and her team make it to the State Playoffs in 2019. He never missed a game. They enjoyed going to the First Shiloh Baptist Church especially when they had "dinner on the grounds". He was loved by so many of his Church Family and Friends. He loved riding around his collection of salvage trucks on his gator with his dogs. He loved going to his Family Reunions and never missed an opportunity to help out as needed. He loved Family gatherings and was so proud of his children and grandchildren. He loved animals and has missed his dog Trooper who passed a few years back and he was looking forward to seeing him again in Heaven. He was never shy to tell you a story of his trucking days and racing.
