James Lenard Mason

Mr. James Lenard Mason, 62, a resident of Lapine, Alabama, passed away on Monday, December 7, 2020, at Baptist Medical Center South after a hard fight with COVID-19.

Mr. Mason began his career as a service technician working on forklifts in the 1980s, working almost 33 years for Dyna-Lift and was only a few months shy of retirement. In his free time, he loved spending time outdoors, including turkey and dove hunting. He took extreme pride in taking care of his home and yard. He definitely loved life and lived it to its fullest. He enjoyed taking cruises, going to casinos, and visiting his dear friends, Benny & Duck, in Key West. Every morning, he could be found at Ramer Cafe for breakfast. Above all, he was a loving father to his children and grandfather to the children he affectionately called his “rugrats.” He has left this world far too soon, but his family will find comfort in the lifetime of memories they have made together.

Mr. Mason was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Petty Mason. He is survived by his four children, Kenny (Britney) Mason, Timothy (Stephanie) Mason, Leslie (Adam) Stanfield, and Brad (Brooke) Caton; seven grandchildren, Garrett Mason, Lindsey Mason, Cailyn Ramer, Kale Edwards, Raiden Mason, Shayne Countryman, and Sidney Davis; father, Hebert Vernon Mason; three siblings, Howell Farion (Cheryl) Mason, Vernon Keith (Gina) Mason, & Deborah Lynn Mason; three nieces, Angela Mason (Kevin Shifflet), Samantha Mason (Mick Vassas), and Victoria (Clarence) Hudson; several great-nieces & great-nephews; and his special friend, Lelia Fisher.

The family will hold a memorial service at a later time.
