Bruce was born 6-5-1976 to Gerald and Regina Vaughn in Sulphur Springs, Tx. He grew up in the Winnsboro and Sulphur Springs Tx area. In his early years he grew up on the family farm outside of Winnsboro playing with his brother Gerald Ray and cousins Leslie and Christy Dalton, watching his grandparents work the garden, shelling peas, tractor rides, riding bikes, four wheelers, playing in the creek, building forts in the woods, getting into mischief and eating good southern food as he had a ravenous appetite. He enjoyed fishing, playing pool, watching football, spending time living on the family farm in his last few years and was An avid Dallas Cowboys fan.
Bruce had a loving strong heart and was a fighter until the end. He was a very handsome man with a smile that would light up a room! We will miss that smile and his infectious personality.
A private celebration of life service will be held at a later date.
