Mason attended Central High School in San Angelo, TX. He worked with his grandfather, PawPaw, on weekends and in the summer. He was the type of employee one would wish for a hundred of. Bright, funny, great attitude, follows instructions very well, very trainable and a fast learner. Willing and strong. 
All donations in Mason's name can be assigned to West Texas Rehabilitation Center in San Angelo, TX. 
Visitation for family and friends will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday May 18, 2014 in the main chapel at Johnson's Funeral Home at 435 W. Beauregard in San Angelo. Memorial Services will be held at 4 p.m. on Monday May 19, 2014 at the same location.
Our Mason chose cremation.
He collected display swords and beautiful knives. Mason played guitar, worked out and ran for fitness. He was very athletic and was developing, hence the name, Mr. Awesome. 
He and Aunt Sonne participated in the Mud Run in April 2014. His friends Brendon and Christian were scheduled for the second heat, so he ran it again with them. 
Mason was funny, and if pressed to describe him, friends, family, teachers, co-workers would all say, awesome. He will be missed. Family and friends may sign the online register book at www.johnsons-funeralhome.com.
