Jack Owen Mayfield, 83, of Fair Grove, Missouri, went to be with his Lord and Savior on January 13, 2026.

He was born on July 16, 1942, in Halfway, Missouri. As a teen, Jack came to know Jesus as his savior at Black Oak Schoolhouse, west of Tin Town, Missouri. He was a member of Fair Grove First Baptist Church where he attended faithfully, until declining health prevented him from doing so.

He married the love of his life and best friend, Phyllis Kepley on August 3, 1962.  The two shared 63 years of marriage, which came to include 4 children, 11 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and 3 ½ great-great-grandchildren.

Jack worked at Dayco for 24 years before realizing his dream of starting his own business, Mayfield Trucking, where he picked up milk from several local dairies.

Jack was a huge fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, KC Chiefs, NASCAR and dirt racing. He also loved Country music. He coached baseball and basketball teams. More importantly, he loved his family, including those joining the family well after being born. He was known for stating that his home had “no steps.” His booming voice and jovial laughter will be sorely missed by all.
