Family Tributes
His family shared a heartfelt tribute, saying, "We are completely devastated by the loss of our beloved Mason, a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and dear friend, just two days before his 53rd birthday. He leaves his wife Fay, his daughter Brooke, and son Noah, who were the centre of his world. It is impossible to put into words the void his death has left."
They continued, "Mason was larger than life in every sense. He lived life to the full, loved deeply and made an indelible impression on everyone he met. He was funny, adventurous, loyal, and hugely generous with his time. Through his work as a professional bodyguard, Mason dedicated much of his life to protecting others. To those closest to him, he was our gentle giant. He was the person we turned to for strength, advice, reassurance, and laughter. He brought people together, helped those who were struggling and made people feel safe. He was the kind of man who would travel hundreds of miles to help a friend and never thought twice about standing beside someone who needed him."
The family concluded their tribute by asking for privacy, stating, "We would also respectfully ask that our family’s privacy is respected as we try to come to terms with this unimaginable loss. This is an incredibly difficult time for us all, and we ask for the space to grieve while the investigation continues. We are deeply grateful for the kindness, support, and condolences we have received."
