In Loving Memory of Griffin Mayhew
It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the passing of Griffin Mayhew of Wilton, a dedicated public servant, compassionate leader, and cherished member of his community. Griffin, a devoted member of the RSU 9 Board, passed away, leaving behind a legacy of service, integrity, and unwavering commitment to the students, families, and educators he worked tirelessly to support.
Griffin’s life was rooted in purpose. He believed deeply in the power of education to change lives and viewed his role on the RSU 9 Board not as a title, but as a calling. He gave his time, energy, and heart to ensuring that every child had access to opportunity, encouragement, and safe spaces to grow. His presence in meetings, community gatherings, and school events was marked by thoughtful listening, steady leadership, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference.
Those who knew Griffin will remember him not only for his service, but for the kindness and humility that defined his character. He had a quiet strength — the kind that uplifted others without seeking recognition. He was a bridge-builder, a problem-solver, and a voice of calm in moments of challenge. His decisions were guided by compassion, fairness, and a steadfast belief that collaboration and understanding could overcome even the most difficult obstacles.
Beyond his public service, Griffin was a loving family man and a loyal friend. He found joy in simple moments, in meaningful conversations, and in helping others feel seen and valued. His warmth created safe spaces, and his humor brought light even in trying times. To the Mayhew family, Griffin was a source of strength, love, and unwavering support — a role he carried with pride and devotion.
The Wilton community, the RSU 9 family, and countless colleagues and friends feel this loss deeply. Griffin’s passing is not only the loss of a leader, but the loss of a kind and gentle spirit who made the world around him brighter.
