Gregory Douglas Vaughan It is with great sorrow that the family announces the passing of Greg, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was the son of Doug and Velma (Park) Vaughan. Greg was born in Saskatoon November 4th 1960. He grew up in Loreburn alongside his 4 siblings Marilyn, Sheila, Julie and Ken. Greg started a 20 year career with the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool in 1980, moving to the communities of Carlyle, Battleford, Speers, Milden, Margo, Lake Lenore and Melville. In the midst of all the moving he found some time to find the love of his life Maureen scaling balconies to a third floor party being thrown by his cousin Brenda that he was not invited to, so the story goes. Greg and Maureen were married January 23rd 1982, followed by the birth of three baby boys Scott January 2nd, 1985, Troy December 25th, 1987 and Brock March 27th, 1989. Troy only lived a short time, this extremely difficult situation only made their relationship stronger. After 20 years and many moves with his young family, Greg was faced with another difficult situation after being bumped from his Saskatchewan Wheatpool positon of elevator manager. Either move again or cut ties with the only business he ever knew, as he always did he put his family first and said he would not move again. He started in the automotive business in 2000 continuing to work in the industry up to March 31st, 2020. He started as a salesman, it did not take long for his bosses to realize they had someone special, moving onto jobs in the finance office, fixed operations manager and ultimately Dealer principal/Part owner of Melville Chevrolet. He was always on the go, family was his priority. He coached Scott and Brock for many years in hockey. Winning many games, but the biggest thing you could take from coach Greg was integrity and hard work. Everything he did in his life was done with a positive attitude attached with hard work. His pride and joy the past 6 years were his three grandchildren. Emsley who was born in 2013 , Ryker in 2017 and Brooks in 2019. He was a great grandfather to all of them, teaching and loving them everyday. He loved his grandchildren unconditionally. Not very much time would pass between his visits to spend time with them. From dance recitals, Christmas concerts, swimming lessons, riding bikes, playing tonkas in the sand box, playing mini sticks, or a story before bedtime. If he couldn't be with them in person he made sure to facetime or send messages for them. His memory will forever be carried on in their hearts. Gregory will be lovingly remembered by his wife Maureen of 38 years. His sons and their families; Scott (Kristine), Emsley, Ryker and Brooks; Brock (Nicole). His 4 siblings and their families; Marilyn (Patrick), Nicole (Jon) and Paula (Kirk); Sheila, Ryan, Eric (Brenna), Maverick and Aliya and Tyler (Miranda); Julie (Grant), Erin, Brayden (Chaz), Braelyn; Ken (Leanne), Mackenna, Lindsay.
