Mark Anthony Mayfield, 65, passed away on July 16, 2020, at his home in Tyler, Texas. He was born on January 17, 1955 to the late John Anthony and Pat Mayfield, in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from North Garland High School. In 1982, He moved to Chapel Hill and opened Mayfield Custom Cabinets with his first wife Debbie (Ogletree). They served the surrounding area for 6 years.

He and his wife Melanie traveled between Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Louisiana working in the oil field. Mark began declining with several health issues with his heart and diabetes, forcing him into retirement. Although his last years on earth were conflicted with many health issues, he made the most of life with his wife and family. He always smiled, despite how he was feeling. He and Melanie were members of Rose Heights Church in Tyler.
