Dear Mayo family, I grieve with and for you. Coach Mayo was one of the main reasons why the seventies was the best decade for me at Fairland. I had so much respect for him, and I will never forget the many pleasant memories surrounding our relationship. I am blessed to have been a part of his life, as well as the rest of your family. God bless you.

Libby,
I did not know about Jimmy until I checked Hall's web page in reference to John Simpson. I am so sorry, Jimmy was a good man. I remember the first day I was at Westmoreland he took me all around town introducing me to the area and then we called together several times. God bless and comfort you in your loss.

Love and blessings from Clermont, Florida. It's hard to believe that Jimmie's gone from us. He had a wonderful life, a wonderful spouse, children and grandchildren he adored. He served the Lord and His church with all his heart. Energetic, sincere, driven, full of fun, loving, caring...are just a few of the adjectives that describe him. What a guy!

Coach Mayo was a true legendary person as a coach and an educator. I grew up on Auburn Road and as a 6 year old began playing the game of basketball on the smooth dirt court that was at coach Mayo's house. I have wonderful memories of those times. Coach Mayo's passion towards people in seeing their worth and his ability to connect with and bring out the best in so many people will be a part of his legacy that I will never forget.
Peace be with the Mayo family and all the hearts of those that were touched by this great man. David Hetzer

Brent,
When I saw the announcement of your Dad's Home-going, all the memories of our times together on the football field and basketball court in 7th and 8th grade seemed like yesterday. I'm sorry I never got to play ball for your Dad, but I do remember what an awesome man and role model he was for so many. I know you and your family will miss him, but I also know your faith will bring you peace, daily, as we all get closer every day to a great reunion with the Lord and our loved ones who've gone before us.

We are so sorry for your loss of Jim, but we rejoice with you in knowing that he is at home with the Lord and resting in peace. I had the privilege of running into Jim at the Dairy Queen in Chesapeake, in late summer of last year. He was in such good spirits and was putting up the good fight even then. He wasn't dwelling on his illness, but was remembering our families when we were neighbors on Auburn Road. I pray that God will give you comfort and that you will recall all the blessings He bestowed upon your wonderful family. Sincerely, with love, Loretta Hetzer and family

Jimmie Dale Mayo (Coach Mayo) won his last game and victoriously went home to be with his Lord and Savior on March 19, 2010. Husband of Lizabethe (Libby) Stephens Mayo, he was born February 4, 1935, in Wayne County, WV to Everett Tylor (ET) and Olive Lucille Flora Mayo. He was a 1953 graduate of Vinson High School where he played and lettered in football, basketball, and baseball. He was a member of the 1950, and the 1951 Class A State High School Championship football teams. During his mid-twenties, Jim coached junior high football for four years at Vinson and was a graduate assistant coach at Marshall from 1963 to 1964.
