Dan Vaughan

Dan was born with spina bifida and battled multiple challenges throughout his life but always found the energy to overcome those challenges and remained a bright and positive influence on everyone he touched. His laughter and warmth were constants in the lives of those he loved and his wish for the happiness and well-being of others was unwavering.

Dan held full-time positions with Prince Georges County Police and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as an IT professional. His energy and spirit drove him to compete in several wheelchair races receiving medals in the Special Olympics, Marine Corp marathon and other competitions.

Dan was a die-hard Redskins fan who honored the burgundy and gold. His passion for the Redskins was matched only by his love for his family. He is survived by his cherished brother-in-law Joe Bonner (Lynn Crouse), brother Mickey Vaughan (Donna), his nephews Joey Bonner (Keri), Paul Bonner (Ashley) and nieces Kelsey Bonner Wuest (John), Nicole Vaughan Forsman (Brandon) and Megan Vaughan. He also held a special place in his heart for his great nephew, Jack Wuest.
