Bill was the founder and owner of W.F. Mayerhoff Logging, Inc. for over fifty years. He loved the forestry industry, where he made many lifelong friends. Bill was a lifelong member of Sageville United Methodist Church. He was an avid farmer and cattle rancher, who loved animals, especially his dogs, Elsie, Panzer, and Bo, who were more like family than pets. One of his favorite pastimes was making improvements to his property with his bulldozer. He loved his family, especially his eight grandchildren. He also served in the United States Air Force.

He is survived by his children, Mark (Dana) Mayerhoff, Marshall (Misty) Mayerhoff, and Michael (Samantha) Mayerhoff; grandchildren, Hannah Mayerhoff, Lilly Mayerhoff, David Mayerhoff, Luke Mayerhoff, Fletcher Mayerhoff, Lila Mayerhoff, Michaela Mayerhoff, and Mackenzie Mayerhoff; siblings, Mary Ruth Mayerhoff Bodron and Ed Mayerhoff; a special friend, Juanita Knight Mayerhoff; and numerous other family members and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife of thirty-seven years, Wanda Mayerhoff; his parents, Bill and Ann Mayerhoff; and one sister, Linda Mayerhoff Touchstone.

The family requests memorials be made to Sageville United Methodist Church.
