Bobby was born May 31, 1962, in Charleston, SC, to Larry and Trilby (Teague) Mayfield.

Bobby, affectionately known by his friends as "Da Brain", in his day, played Softball and Volleyball and led his Death Squad softball team into many battles against their archrivals, The Legion of Doom and The Lampliter. Bobby loved sports and occasionally making wagers on his favorite teams. He was an avid Phillies fan first and foremost, but he also rooted hard for the Cowboys and Hawkeyes. Clemson Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks were 2 more of his favorites, depending on which one was doing better. Bobby enjoyed going with friends just about anywhere, but especially liked his trips to St. Louis for Cardinals games and to Omaha for the College World Series. Most of all, Bobby just enjoyed hanging out with his friends at the Lampliter, having a few cocktails and playing Kiss and KC and the Sunshine Band on the jukebox. When he was feeling especially festive, he would even get the disco ball going to enhance the mood.

Bobby is survived by his brother, Ken (Becky) Mayfield, Newton, IA; sister, Mitzi (Larry) Yocum, Mount Vernon, IA; brother, Lance (Ji) Mayfield, Los Angeles, CA; step-father; Fred Klavemann, Tipton, IA; step-brothers, Mark Klavemann, Davenport, IA; Larry (Colleen) Klavemann, Wilton, IA; step-sister, Kristy (Tim) Egger, Davenport, IA; along with many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
