Sending my condolences to mason’s family and friends. I met Mason on July 1st & had the pleasure of working w/ him for a couple of days last seeing him on the 8th. He was very genuine & personable in my brief experience w/ him. We once talked about a couple of his tattoos – the angel number ‘999’ was tatooed on his forearm which symbolize positive change… the words “life is a mess” were also tatooed in cursive below. Mason’s life made an impression on mine & I’m glad I got a chance to spend a little bit of time w/ him. RIP MJY
We are so very sorry to hear this news. We will always remember Mason as a wonderful young man and a terrific teammate on Liberty North soccer. Our prayers for peace for his soul and comfort to his dear family.
Warmly, The Clay Anderson Family (Levi, 2019)
