Bishop Garland Mayes Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Bishop Garland Mayes of Orange, New Jersey, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on March 23, 2026 at the age of 87. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Bishop farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Bishop is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He is survived by: his wife Linnie B. Mayes; his children, Tammy Marlowe of Nanuet, NY, Kimberly Mayes of Faison, NC and Terry Beaman of Middletown, NY; and his sister Ruth Mayes of Orange, NJ.
