John Reese Mayfield, Jr.

Coach Mayfield taught me physical education at Gonzales elementary school in Odessa. He was friendly, kind, and caring. I though of him like a Dad and inadvertantly called him that one day. He taught me gymnastics. I'll always remember him fondly. I just learned of his passing. To his family and friends he was a great teacher and mentor.

Trey and Joyce I am so sad to hear your dad has passed. I remember all the fun we had at the Steelwood house and will always remember the nickname "Jelly Roll" your dad gave me. Your dad was an awesome man that will truly be missed. The Taylor´s

I'll never forget Coach Mayfield from my years at Gonzales in Odessa many years ago.... I can still see him standing there, with a small child on each side of him, holding his index fingers! He was so kind, so patient, and everyone loved him! May you rest in peace, sweet prince

Mr. Mayfield was our PE Coach at Gonzales Elementary in Odessa when I attended in the `60´s. He was a big, kind, ever patient fixture in my school memories. He was quiet but laughed easily. He was fair and fun. All the kids loved him. Rest in peace Coach. God bless your family.

May you rest in peace Mr. Mayfield. Thank you for your service at St. Matthew. You were an awesome man of God and you are greatly appreciated.

Such wonderful memories of both Mr and Mrs Mayfield from Blackshear. RIP my beloved friends.

In Loving Memory of the most wonderful man around the world. John R. Mayfield This is how we will remember him, always with Billie and her bright smile. In more than 20 years, he made a significant impact on our lives with his wisdom and example. We are going to miss him forever. Katherine & Rolando
