I feel so lucky to have had Mason as a friend in my life. Not often do you come across a guy as genuine and loyal. Mason was the kind of guy you want on your side, because he looked out for you like it was natural, and was never afraid to stand up for you if you needed it or not. We were in a group that would constantly make jokes about each other, like good friends do, and I would always get excited to see what was coming next, because if you cant make fun of each other, what else is there? One of my favorite memories of Mason, is when our old work sent us to Iowa for training. He had picked up on some of my crazy food preferences at that point. We ordered food at a restaurant and when they brought our food out, he tells them that there was something wrong with MY order, before I could even say it. We laughed at that one for a while just thinking of what the workers were thinking about him correcting my order. But that circles back on saying that he was always looking out for you. We lost a good one way too soon, and he will for sure be missed by many.
