Vaughn Triplett Obituary
Vaughn honorably served his country as a Sergeant in the 509th Parachute Infantry, where he demonstrated courage, leadership, and unwavering dedication to his fellow soldiers. After his military service, he went on to build a long and successful career at Dominion Energy's Possum Point Power Station, retiring as a Supervisor after 40 years of service.
Beyond his professional life, Vaughn found great joy and purpose in raising and caring for Quarter horses - a passion he pursued for most of his adult life. His love for these animals reflected his steady and patient nature, as well as his deep connection to the land and life's simpler pleasures.
Vaughn will be remembered for his strong work ethic, quiet strength, and the love he showed to his family and friends. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the values he upheld.
Survivors include his children, Shawn Reginald Triplett (Anastasia) of Gore, VA, Bailey Irene Triplett (Brian Allison) of Columbia, SC, and Taylor Kate Aubrey (Andrew) of Acworth, Georgia; grandchildren, Allen, Jennifer, Shauna, Isaac, Iris, Elliott, and Dylan; and siblings, Renwyn Dilbert Triplett, Dale Triplett, Viveca L. Triplett Patrick, and Timothy T. Triplett.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Teresa "Terry" Triplett; and brothers, Gerald C. Triplett and D. Lee Triplett.
A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, August 4, 2025, at Quantico National Cemetery.
