June and Kim, I am so sorry for your loss! Mack was a great person and great influence in my life in the short time i knew him. He will be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family!
Matthew
Mack filled the world with fun and laughter. He will be sorely missed. I will especially miss my cousin's big bear hugs. My heart aches for the Vought family. I pray for comfort during your time of loss. I wish I could have been with you at the celebration of his life.
I have known Mack since he was 17 years old. 44 years if my match is correct. He was unique. One of a kind. Unlike any of the rest of us. So strong and forthright was his personality, that he appeared indistructable, bullet proof, unbreakable. I take some great degree of pride in thinking we were good friends. I mourn his passing and will genuinely grieve over the fact that he is no longer with us. My prayers go out to June, the girls, Matthew, his mother and all the rest of his large and grieving family.
I was very saddened and shocked to learn about Mack. Our thoughts and concerns are the family. Mack was a great guy and I worked with him over many years at LR Wastewater when I was on the Sewer Commission. Mack was results oriented and there was nothing he wouldn't do for his staff, friends, family and our city to get the job done in a professional and efficient manner. It is so sad that such a happy, smiling , jovial and wonderful gentlemen had to leave all of us so early. My best to the family.
June & Family
I just wanted to let you know my Prayers & Thoughts are with you.

Wonderful memories of a sweet man. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
God be with each one of you through this difficult time. Matthew will miss him greatly. He loved his dad so much. May peace and love remain above all things. Remembering each of you in our prayers. With much love. Mari
Dearest June,
It has been a blessing to have Mack and you in our lives for almost thirty years. We are at a loss to express how much he meant to us. He was bigger than life, and always made us feel like there was no one more important to him than us when we were with him. We have so many enjoyable memories of special times with him and you, separately and together! Two of our favorites are the "Bat Cave" at O V camp and our Arkansas road trip last fall.
We will always love you, be there for you, and honor Mack's memory.
God bless you, Kim and Matt, Christie, Matthew and all of Mack's family. Goodbye to our dear friend, Mack. May you Rest in Peace.
Bruno and Nancy

Our thoughts and prayers are with June and his family. We had come to know and love Mack through frequent visits to Lake Ouachita. He was truly someone who lived life to the fullest and we will miss him.
We will dearly miss our friend! Our hearts and prayers are with y'all's family! We love you and hope to visit in the near future. Love to all- the Terry's
Mack was one of the most colorful and memorable persons I ever knew in my 77 plus years of life, mostly in Arkansas. It was a privilege to know him and work with him and I shall never forget him, as well as our times at work and play. He lived and loved life to the fullest, whether at work, in the deer woods or on his house boat. He was results oriented, always spoke his mind, and after every conversation or meeting we always parted smiling. He could see the funny side of almost anything. His sense of humor was second to none, and I was very lucky to have known him. So to quote a minister in frontier America speaking to a family who lost a husband and father: "Do not be sad that you have lost him, but be happy that you had such a husband and father to lose".
Sorry to hear of Mack's passing. He was a good friend for many years. Prayers for his family and friends.
June and Family -
Our hearts go out to you - we count it a blessing to have known Mack and enjoy both of your hospitality. Praying God's grace and comfort to you.
Andy and Janet
June, we are praying for you and your family. We will be at the funeral and gravesite to honor Mack and his legacy.
I am so sorry for your loss. Mack was such a special man! He made me feel comfortable the first time I met him and treated me as a friend immediately. I am so happy I was able to meet Mack and spend a few wonderful days on the lake with him and June.
June, I am praying for you and your family!
June and Family our sympathy goes out to you and your family. Mack will sure be missed! He was one in a million!! We are here if you need us. Much love, Nancy and David
Dear Vought family: I was a friend of Mack's in High School. I am sorry for your loss and will be praying that God's peace will be with you.
Condolences to the family. May light perpetual shine upon him and upon all the souls of the departed.
Our prayers go to the Mack Vought Family. We had a lot of great times at the O.V. Hunting Camp. He will be missed by many and I'm glad I had the opportunity to be his friend.
June Bug, God bless you and the family with his peace and comfort on Mack's passing. I know he and Larry are now swapping "Bubba" stories.
Love, Marcia
Keeping all in our prayers

Mac was a good friend to Bill
And I, had some really special
Times. June bug our prayers,
And love go with you and yours.
My condolences to June and the family. Mack was one of the kindest souls I ever knew. We worked together for over 13 years and he became more of a big brother than a co-worker. He was always ready to listen and assist with anything that he could. He shared his home, his deer camp and his lake to all that wanted to visit, laugh and socialize. Mostly he shared himself. When my daughter and I talk about all the fun we had on Lake Ouachita, we always mention Mack's hospitality to join him on the Big Chill for a visit each time we passed by in our boat heading out for a day on the lake. She still has a "Big Chill" tee shirt he gave her that she still wears to this day. Anyway, Mack, you will be missed big man! The world lost a kind, gentle, soul!
Mack was a fun guy to be around. Enjoyed being able to spend time down at camp hog hunting with him. Mack will be missed.Thoughts and Payers are with the family.
June,Kim,Cristi and Matthew,
Mack was such a special person I am very thankful for the time that we had together. All of my girls have called me and they are also thankful of all Mack's time at the lake when they wanted to do something Mack always made time for them. God Bless. I love y'all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with June and the Vought family. Mack was bigger than life and was all out with everything he did. I am fortunate that I was able to share some great times with him. Some of my best memories are the times I have spent with Mack at O.V. Lodge....too many hollow logs to count. I was blessed to work with him professionally where he was driven and accomplished. He has left us too soon and will be missed by many. I am a better person to have known Mack Vought. God Bless the Mack Vought family.
Mack always made me feel like the most important person in the room. I will miss you "Uncle" Mack.
"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love."

Our heartfelt condolences to June and all the Voughts. We have the blessing of knowing Mack, June, their children and many of Mack's friends to numerous to count or remember. My family spent time with Mack and his on several occasions at the lakes I also had the pleasure of sharing many other good times with Mack from hunting trips, to Attitude Adjustment, Valentines Massacre and trips to my camp at Trafalgar. We always enjoyed spending time with Mack - God Bless, he will be sorely missed.
May God give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. We love you guys, Mack was a special person we will miss him.
Sorry to hear of Mack's passing. Had some great times growing up in PB with Mack.
Our prayers are with those he left behind.
Mack was a wonderful friend and boss. It was my pleasure to work with him on the administrative staff at LRW for 20 years. My first interview was with Reggie, Mack, and Rick Barger and from that moment I considered them all dear friends and the best bosses anyone could have. My heart goes out to June, Kim, Matthew and Kristi.
Loved Mack and will miss him deeply. My prayer is for family and their comfort.
RIP bro...
We are so sorry for your loss. Mack was very special to us, and we are deeply saddened by his passing. We will be praying for your family.

God bless the Vought family in their time of loss.
