Bob Mayfield passed away on 2/6/2018 due to complications from a stroke. He was 71 years old. Bob was an avid sailor and racer for over 30 years. He owned ‘Mickey Mouse” J/24, “Showtime” J/36, 1994 1st in class Vic-Maui winner, and co-owner of “Slick” J/29, Boat of the year 2012. He enjoyed all of his time out on the water, being a part of the sailing community, and all of the friendships that came with it. His ashes will be scattered in Puget Sound, and a Celebration of Life will be held later this summer.
He is survived by his Wife of 52 years Chris Mayfield, son Joey Mayfield, daughter Molly (Dan) Goff, and four grandchildren.
Bob will be missed by his family and friends. He was taken far too early. He lived his life with passion and purpose. Always focused on his goal at the moment and giving it his full attention,never wavering. Building a house, sailing,skiing, he gave it his all. What a journey he had!
In his honor, teach someone to sail, or give to a local sailing school.

We had a lot of good times together in high school. I have fond memories of water skiing and going on shopping field trips with the guys. Happy sailing in heaven, my old friend. God bless you. See you on the other side.

I am sorry to see the passing of Bob. He was always a bright spot with a big smile in school. Blessings to his family during this most difficult time.

I didn't know Bob, but being a water rat myself, wish I had gotten aquainted. RIP aboard that big schooner in the sky, Bob......

Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was my first 'serious' boy friend! Hope to meet up in heaven one day when we are all sanctified. Keep smiling .....Dick Surman
The Bob I knew was one of the good guys. We met in grade school initially...even then he had a great laugh- -and not a bad bone in his body, They say the good die young- -this supports that. RIP Bob.
