Mavor passed away June 8, 2022, in St. George, Utah. Surviving are his wife of 50 years, the former Phyllis Haberkamp; sons John (Mirla and son Nico) and Brad (Sandra and son Stefan and another son on the way in October); and a sister, Dania Phillips (Bill, deceased, and daughters Jody and Jessie and son, A.J.).
Mave was born Aug. 20, 1940, in Highland Park, and his family lived on part of an old farm just west of U.S. 41 on Half Day Road. A small housing development is there now on Mavor (his mother’s surname) Lane.
He attended Lake Forest Academy before transferring to HPHS. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in economics and geography.
His love of sports, especially golf, was his career. After 24 years with Wilson Sporting Goods he moved to St. George and opened Zion Golf (formerly Nevada Bob's Golf), which also sold sporting goos and bicycles.. One friend called him the “unofficial head of tourism” for the city.
Mave coached his sons in baseball and basketball and was a tennis player, hiker and skier, but loved golf the most. He was a generous person who helped many people either with his time or with aiding them in their pursuit of sports.
A scholarship fund in his name has been set up for the junior golf program in St. George: JAG, c/o Colby Cowan, Director of Golf, City of St. George, Southgate Golf Club, 1975 S. Tonaquint Drive, St. George, UT 84770.

Read his Bio, another Great success from HPHS. The class of 59 produced some real winners.
Cant, you remember feeling the greatness when we were roaming the halls, one winner after the other?
We had no REAL facility superstar, they were all competent, it was a bonding of all of us rubbing off on each other picking up knowledge, style, class, and freedom to think and create. We have had everything from Famous Doctors, Authors, Home Builders and of course my favorite I still watch on youtube,
Mr. Sam Zell, I use to tip him over in his chair in homeroom, I loved Sam he was always destined to be great, starting with one Apartment in Mighigan to buying every apartment in the Universe, I love Sam, he's a Radical creative out of the box thinker. I use to talk to Mavor at Hals Drive in, he was a quiet guy and a very nice guy. Look what he created in Utah, he did something incredible with his life, another creation, from a patch near hwy 41 to greatness in Utah. God Bless you brother, see ya soon. Ron W.
