Obituary written by son, posted at https://www.facebook.com/vernon.aubin

Floyd Vernon Aubin Jr., affectionately known as Vern or Captain Vern at 70, won his victory over earthly exile Sunday morning September 18th 2016. He grew up in McLewis community, graduated with honors from Orangefield High School where he was in the high school band. He began college at Lamar University while doing interim choir director duties at Winfree Baptist Church. He graduated from Texas A&M where he was in the Corps and the "Fighting Texas Aggie Band" class of "69".

He began his career with Brown & Root initially and moved into the Energy sector as a Mud Engineer then a Directional Drilling Supervisor working both domestically and overseas. He had drilled and consulted for a number of Directional Service Providers and was very passionate in pursuing excellence in his craft. Vernon had pursued entrepreneurial endeavors along the way with a boat and barge rental business(hence Capt. Vern) on Lake Travis along with his wood carving.

His artistry and craftsmanship is reflected in the design of his home he constructed on the lake near Broaddus Texas along with the cedar statues and pieces he carved that are strewn about the state. He had an abiding love for music and old hymns whether filling in for music ministers, leading during services, solos, or accompanying whoever would let him he would gladly pitch in.

Vernon is survived by his son Scott, and wife Shawna along with his four grand children, Trinity, Kylie, Caleb, and Carys as well as his brother Mike and sister Kathy. A memorial service will be held for Vernon at the Long Pines Baptist Church 7243 FM 83 Broaddus, TX at 2:00 PM on Sunday October 2, 2016 with a reception immediately following the service.

In lieu of flowers the family would prefer to have donations be made to the Texas A&M Foundation, 401 George Bush Dr. College Station, TX 77840 with notation in the memo line "Eternal Aggie Band Vernon Aubin "69"
