Mason was a bright light in the lives of all who knew him, and his infectious laughter and passion for life will be cherished and remembered forever. He was a vibrant young man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved working on cars with his father, sharing countless hours in the garage surrounded by the sounds of engines and laughter.
