Michael G. Mayer ’89

We recently learned of Mike’s death July 12, 2015. He was born in Lake Forest, Ill.

Mike came to Princeton from Sherman (Texas) High School. At Princeton he majored in psychology, played freshman football and was president of Tiger Inn. After graduation he earned a master’s degree from Columbia. Mike devoted his professional career to helping others, especially children, as a mental-health specialist.

He had a deep love for music and enjoyed attending concerts as well as spending time outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman — an excellent shot and a patient angler.

Mike was predeceased by his father, Roger G. Mayer; and sister Laura Ann Mayer. He is survived by his mother, Ann Mayer-Scaffidi, and her husband; his girlfriend, Peg Breeding, and her children; and his brothers, Bradley, Charles, and David and their families.

Mike will be remembered for his hearty laugh, his big smile, and his generosity to all he knew. He was deeply loved and will be dearly missed.
