Dan V. Vaught age 93, passed away Monday, March 20, 2023 at Bristol Regional Medical Center, Bristol, Tenn.

Dan was a loving husband to his wife Elouise for 60 plus years. He retired after years as a carpenter, dairy farmer and horse trader. He loved Western riding horses and was a charter member and first vice-president of The Glade Mountain Saddle Club. Dan was successful in competition reining, western pleasure halter and gymkhana. He especially loved wagon trains and annual fiddler’s conventions. Ashley and Lori loved his passion and enthusiasm for horses. Dan will surely be missed by all who knew and loved him.
