A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the United States Navy Security Forces. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.

MA2 Mayo,
I cannot find the words to express the way that I feel. Prior to my retirement, each and every time that we passed each other in the hallway of the Precinct or in the parking lot, you always had a pleasant smile on your face and you've always treated me along with everyone else with the utmost of respect. On the day that I retired which was September 30, 2013, while turning in equipment at the Armory, we discussed my retirement. You said that you couldn't wait until the day that you would be able to retire like myself.

Well my friend, on Monday night March 24, 2014 at 11:20pm, you were about your business of protecting and serving the people of this United States of America. In doing this, you stopped the threat of one of your shipmates being critically injured and you sacrificed your life so that others could live.
God saw it fitting that you retire from this earthly home, come on up a little higher and patrol the streets of Heaven for all eternity. Rest in peace my friend. You will never be forgotten.
To The Family Of MA2 Mark Mayo.
You have my prayers and sincere condolences. I pray that God give you all the strength to endure such a tragic loss. Be proud of your son because he loved his job, he loved helping others and he loved being a Master At Arms/Police Officer. MA2 Mayo gave the ultimate sacrifice. His life to save the life of another.
