Jerry Mayfield left a wonderful legacy of common sense and good belly laughs when he retired from San Jacinto College North. He always brightened my day when he stopped by my post office. We are all better for knowing him and we find peace in the knowledge that he is with Him now. God Bless You All.

When I was in Counseling at Central Campus I was privileged to work with many counselors. Jerry was one of the most positive and sweet that I dealt with. San Jacinto College and all the students whose lives he touched were blessed.

You and your family are in my prayers. He will be missed.
