He was born on April 25, 1933 to Arthur and Gladys Morrow in Riverton, Utah. Vaun married Sally Bown in October of 1954; they later divorced.

Vaun graduated from Brigham Young University and The Pacific Coast School of Banking in Seattle, Wash. Vaun had a distinguished career in the financial industry, eventually retiring as an executive from Valley Bank and Trust as Senior Vice President and proudly served a term as chairman of the American Bankers Association. He was an honest and loyal man, who led by example over words. Vaun loved to fly. He was a pilot in the U.S. Air Force after college. He loved the outdoors, especially his cabin at Fish Lake, and spent countless days hunting and fishing.
