Nicholas Vaughan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Nicholas Vaughan was born in New Rochelle on February 5th, 1988, a beloved City Island resident and a skilled union carpenter, who passed away at the age of 35.
He was raised on City Island, where he played numerous sports growing up and where he lived most of his life. He graduated from Iona Prep High School. He was known for his outgoing personality, his infectious energy, and his unwavering dedication to his craft. As a union carpenter, he took great pride in his work, as he followed in his late father, Stephen Vaughan's footsteps.
Nick was a talented artist, a passionate music lover, and an avid golfer who especially enjoyed playing at Montauk Downs. He had a zest for life and was always up for a spontaneous trip out east, where he could enjoy the natural beauty of the ocean and indulge in his love for golf.
Nicholas loved his dogs, Benji and Mia, and they brought him endless joy and companionship this past year. He also cherished his family deeply and was a devoted son to his mother, Helen Vaughan. He will be reunited with his father, Stephen Vaughan, and his grandfather, Anthony Grimaldi, in heaven. He is survived by his loving grandmother, Betty Grimaldi, his adored girlfriend Briana Comerford, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins whom he loved dearly.
Nicholas's passing is a tremendous loss to his family, friends, and the City Island community. His warmth, kindness, and huge heart for those he loved will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.
