Christopher Vaughan Obituary

CHRISTOPHER J. VAUGHAN The family and loved ones of Christopher J. Vaughan are sad to announce his passing on Saturday, July 16, 2011 at his residence in Riverside California. He left behind those that loved and supported him for his 29 years including his loving mother, Sheri L. Carmody, his sister, Jennifer L. Vaughan, his brother Justin R. Vaughan, his closest friend and mentor Jesse Perez, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Christopher was born in Fontana, California on November 12, 1981. He grew up in Riverside, California and attended Arlington High School. He worked with Jesse Perez caring and training race horses. Christopher had two passions, one was plants and planting, he just liked "diggin in the dirt". His other, to which he showed his compassion and caring, was rescuing stray animals. He was known to drive the streets just picking up strays and caring for them. A viewing and memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at Rose Hills Memorial Park and Cemetery, 3888 Workman Mill Road, Whittier, CA 90601. The viewing will be on Sunday, July 24, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. The memorial service will be on Monday, July 25, at 11:00 AM. Christopher will rest next to his maternal grandpa and grandma, John and Norma Grier. In lieu of flowers or gifts, and because of Christopher\'s love of animals, memorial contributions can be made to The Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center, 6165 Industrial Ave., Riverside, CA 92504 in his honor.
