Mayer's mother also released a statement to police, remembering her son as "someone who lived to serve others and would do nearly anything for someone in need."

"He loved gaming with his brother and fishing. Being a son, brother, and uncle, he will be missed by his family, who he cared about deeply," his mother reflected.
