SPORTER RIFLE

ONE OF OUR OWN

Army Corporal Michael L. Mayne, 21, of Burlington Flats died Monday February 23, 2009 due to injuries sustained in Iraq during his service to our country.  Michael was born October 9, 1987, in Ilion the son of Lee & Cathy (Francisco) Mayne.  With his two friends Tony and Tom he joined the Boy Scouts. His Eagle Scout project dedicated poles and flags for each branch of the United States Armed Forces on the Burlington Flats Veterans Memorial Park.

Michael also played football, basketball and golf in high school, and participated in the ski club, Jr. Rifle and Sport rifle team at the Burlington Flats Fish & Game Club.  After graduation from Edmeston, he joined the United States Army in July of 2006. Before his Iraq deployment, Michael was stationed at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, the home base of the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the 25th Infantry Division. The brigade deployed to Diyala Province in Iraq last fall for a yearlong tour of duty.

Michael was a first rate friend, he was a natural born leader. He offered to many his unique sense of humor and compassion for others. For one so young it is hard to imagine the diverse depths of Michael: be it his commitment to Boy Scouts, his family, close friends, God, and Country.

He was a hero. OUR HERO!

Michael is survived by his parents Lee & Cathy Mayne, his sister Sherry, and brother-in-law John Hawes; his grandmother Lucille, Great Aunts & Uncles: Anne & Dick Weiss, and Dawn Hull; Aunts & Uncles: Dale & Iva Mayne, Dennis & Theresa Mayne, Cindy Prill, Elaine & Rich Volpe, Gloria & Rob Lindsay. Several Cousins & spouses: Paula, Greg, Alan & Kristen, Jason & Robin, Brian, Adam & Dawne, Ryan, Marley & Gavin.  His grandparents Herbert Mayne, Howard & Eloise Francisco, and cousin Paul Prill predeceased Michael.
