Stephen Brent DeVaughn

A Celebration of Life Service for Stephen DeVaughn will be at 11:00 AM Friday, July 3, 2015 at Anderson-Burris Funeral Home, with Mr. Brian Meyers officiating. Visitation with the family will begin at 10:00 AM until service time. Stephen was born December 25, 1948, to W.A. “Dell” and Berta Lee Stephens DeVaughn in Henryetta, Oklahoma, and passed away June 22, 2015, in Enid. Stephen graduated from Henryetta High School in 1967 where he played football. As an Eagle Scout, scouting was very important to him. Stephen graduated from Phillips University in 1972. After graduation, he went to work for the U.S. Treasury Department Customs Division as an Agent. Stephen served with the Secret Service on the Personnel Protection Service of President Gerald Ford. Later, he served as the Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans Division, New York City and Criminal Divisions of Custom Enforcement. Upon retiring as Director of Criminal Investigation in Washington D.C. and traversing all over the world with International Law Enforcement, Stephen moved to Enid, Oklahoma in June 2000. In Enid, he continued his passion of serving by participating in the Meals on Wheels for twelve years, the Enid Police Commission serving as Chairman, and the Enid Fire Commission as Chairman. He thoroughly enjoyed his special friends of his morning and afternoon coffee groups. Stephen knew he was greatly loved by his family. His brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Richard and Judy DeVaughn of Enid; his nephew Dustin DeVaughn and wife Susan of Wichita, KS; his niece Wendi Dollarhide and husband Rob of San Antonio, TX; his nephew Pepper DeVaughn and wife Jennifer of Edmond, OK. Stephen, lovingly called “Gus” for great Uncle Stephen, anticipated stories about his great nephews and nieces: Harrison, Dylan, and Haley DeVaughn of Wichita; Grace and Keagan Dollarhide of San Antonio; and Scarlett DeVaughn of Edmond. He was an important part of every family vacation, anniversary, birthday party, and family weekends. Stephen was generous to many organizations in Enid and so, in lieu of flowers, consider donating to the Youth and Family Services of Enid or the Enid Boy Scouts, with the funeral home serving as custodian of the funds. The family would like to offer a special thank you to those who cared for Stephen at The Commons. They continuously gave him wonderful attention and care.
