Marcus, you are my oldest son and you made raising children easy. You were due on June 1st, but you were 5 days late. I was in labor with you for 4 hours and 23 minutes. You weighed in at 7 pounds and 14 ounces. We bonded over breast-feeding and bedtime stories. You were an easy child. You didn't cry or complain. You were just my sweet, well-mannered, obedient, gentle, kind, loving intelligent, handsome, and talented son. I loved you so much. I did not know what God had blessed me with at the time because I was only 19 years old, but I knew that you had a good father and grandfather with a good heart and I wanted those traits and qualities to be passed down to my son. You helped me take care of Jackson and Ray-Ray with the same love as their own father. I have always loved you for that. You were the perfect big brother. You were the perfect cousin, nephew, grandson, employee, and friend. Not only did God answer my prayers, but he gave me a child that was so good, that the rest of us can only dream to touch as many people as this young King did in his short, yet blessed 25 years and 9 months on this earth.
Marcus, I hope and pray that I make you proud. You were too good for us. You were too good for this world. Marcus departed this world on Wednesday, March 6, 2019. He leaves to cherish his memory: his loving mother, Dedra (Penny) Mathews and Brian Mazur, his devoted father, Jonathan Maurice Mayfield, his beautiful son Cicero Mayfield and Vanessa, his brothers,, Raymond Allen and Jackson Mathews, his grandparents, Mildred Mayfield-Evans and Elene (Jimmie) Carter, his aunt Trina (Josie/Clarence) Ross, his cousin Christian Martin, with whom he had a brotherhood, and Terrell Mayfield.
