Matthew Hadley Vaughn passed away Sunday, November 2, 2025, in Rogers, Arkansas. He was born January 21, 1975, in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Matt lived life to the fullest and treasured every moment with his family. He had an artistic spirit and a creative eye that came through in everything he did—from playing guitar and appreciating music to the way he cared for and customized cars. He loved soccer, both playing and watching, as well as fly fishing, spending time on the lake, and golfing with his dad. But nothing brought him more joy than automobiles. Matt's lifelong passion for cars led him to manage Quality Auto in Springdale for his father-in-law, Sammy Mohandessian, and Fred Kouchehbaah. In 2001, he fulfilled a dream when he and his father opened Speed Tech in Fayetteville. Matt was truly in his element behind the wheel of a fast car.

Above all, Matt's greatest pride and joy were his children and family. He is lovingly remembered by his son, Brayden Vaughn, and daughter, Alexandra Vaughn, both of Fayetteville; his parents, Sam and Marsha Vaughn of Bella Vista; sisters, Gena McGee (Josh) and Laura Neill (Stuart) all of Fayetteville; his aunt, Barbara Lingle of Bella Vista; his uncle, James Jinks, of Bella Vista; his aunt and uncle, Donna and Terry Young, of Conroe, Texas; and his girlfriend, Sandy Sisk, of Columbia, Missouri. He will also be deeply missed by many friends and extended family who will forever cherish his memory.

A gathering of family and close friends will be held at a later date.
