Tyler John Vaughan

Tyler was born in Visalia, California on June 24, 1994 to Todd Christopher Vaughan and Kiersten Leigh Machado Vaughan. He was educated at Crestwood Elementary, La Joya Middle School and graduated from El Diamante High School in 2012. He played Baseball for El Diamante all four years. Tyler attended Visalia First Assembly of God Church. His hobbies included playing guitar, riding motorcycles, hunting and fishing, and spent many hours at the gym working out. Above all he felt that it was his duty to protect his country that he loved by serving in the United States Army. Tyler never took a bet that he couldn’t win. His friends remember him as the nicest jerk you’d ever meet. He loved spending time with his family and was a mama’s boy. Times spent with his fiancé, Alissa were memorable and Tyler was coming home to marry his sweetheart in a few short weeks. He also enjoyed spending time with his many friends. Tyler will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.

Tyler leaves his cherished memories to his parents, Todd and Kiersten Vaughan; his fiancé, Alissa Rader; his sister Valerie Campos Hopkins and her husband Henry Hopkins; grandparents John and Gail Vaughan, Susie Wooten, and Ronnie and Rosie Machado, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
