James Leon Mason

James Leon Mason, Jr. born October 20, 1955 to James Leon Mason Sr. and Laure Emelia Mason in Dillard Oregon. Jim occasionally shared with others that he was birthed so fast that his mom did not have time to get to the hospital and he was washed off in the creek beside their house. This made him smile.
Jim was one of a kind. He lived life by his own rules, did not compromise his beliefs and didn’t apologize for his choices or actions in life.
Jim loved his family, friends, and neighborhood community. He served unconditionally, always helping those in need, known or unknown, never asking for anything in return. He was also a devoted Grandpa to his only granddaughter, giving so much of his time and talents.
Jim has been a Boy Scout most of his life, living by the moto, “Be Prepared” and always finding a way to serve others.
He loved the outdoors and all it had to offer, he loved to fish, camp and hike. Jim rode his bicycle daily and for many miles, he grew his own vegetables, loved woodworking, rocks and minerals. There was never a fix it or repair job that he could not do, he put his shoulder to the wheel and pushed through until he figured it out.
Jim will be dearly missed by those that knew him or received the blessings of the service he so lovingly gave.
Jim is survived by: Jamie (Wife), Seth (Son) and Kennedy Mason-Lott (Granddaughter) of Roseburg Oregon, Randy Mason (Brother), Katie Johnson (Sister) of White City Oregon and other extended family.
Jim is proceeded in death by Laurie Moore (Mother) and James Leon Mason Sr. (Father).
