John Eggleston Mayfield

Please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences at this time of your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1.

Can't get John out of my head or heart. He was a major part of Kiwanis Eliminate project which raised 110million dollars to rid the world of maternal neonatal tetanus. John went to Sierra Leone Africa with us and, as always, a small boy clung to him the entire time we were in this one village. Very few will ever be able to fit in his shoes.....very few

Such a loss to friends and the community. I still have the baseballs cards he gave me about 35 years ago. Such a special person.

John and I met and got to know each other well through Kiwanis. I loved his humanity and his humility. For better or worse, we shared similar senses of humor! John helped me "expand" my horizons. He took me to breakfast one morning when I was in Ashland City. When I asked the waitress if I could have fresh fruit, John jokingly exclaimed, "We don't have any of that in this town! You're gonna have grits." So among the many things John taught me is an appreciation of grits. I have thought of him often and will keep him and his family in my prayers. His hand prints will remain on all of the individuals and organizations for which he cared so much.

Far too often, we wait until our FRIENDS and FAMILY "graduate to heaven" to tell them how much we love them and how wonderful they are in this life. Guess I feel this way today, but, Dear John you can hear our thoughts and we MISS YOU ALREADY. So many wonderful things have been shared with me about our friend John. He was a leader, a volunteer, a great business man and a very KIND AND CONSIDERATE person. The greatest aspect of John's life here on earth was his EXAMPLE that he shared humbly with anyone who met him. Thank you, Brother John, you will be missed... but always loved. Beth and I are thankful and grateful to have known you!

John was a kind, exceptional man. Such a kind soul. You are our loss and heavens gain.

John was a great friend who lead by example. He inspired me to be more generous, caring and thinking of others. He will be missed. May all those whom he loved be richly blessed.

A great loss for all of Cheatham County and his many, many friends. John's great works and selfless enthusiasm for humanity will live on in our hearts forever. Rest in Peace my friend.

Jim and family...I am so sorry for your loss. John was a very special person and has done so very much for his community. Veronica Fox

What a tremendous loss for all his friends, for Cheatham County, for Ashland City, and for all the many many charities John has offered his time, talent, and money to help enrich. And what a tremendous gain for the good Lord. I just know John will be in the front row.
