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.

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.
