Arthur Michael Mayernick , age 84, passed away on Monday, March 6, 2023, with his loving family by his side.  Art was born on April 10, 1938, to Michael and Ethel Marie (Horvath) Mayernick in Milford, Connecticut.

Art was a long time educator.  He worked 25 years in the Metro School District beginning at Cumberland High School.  During his teaching career, Art was a coach in basketball, baseball, and football at Neely’s Bend Middle School.  He continued his teaching career as a teacher and Principal at Davidson Academy for an additional 15 years.  More than what he did, he was known for who he was.  His well-lived life as beloved husband, adored daddy, and treasured Pop, is esteemed by his family.  He was also loved and deeply cared for by his friends at Canterfield of Franklin and Adoration Hospice.  Above all he was known for his friendship with God and extended that friendship to everyone he met.  His absence will be felt by all.
