Jim worked in construction the majority of his life. Jim LOVED tractors and enjoyed all aspects of homesteading. He was an excellent cook and passed that on to Stephanie and Sam. Jim spent many hours over the years guiding canoe trips on the San Marcos River with numerous boys and young men through his ministry with Texas Baptist Men and always shared the Gospel with them He was a loving husband, proud father and great friend to many. He will be sorely missed. He is survived by his wife, Pam Mason of Azle; daughter, Stephanie Soileau and husband, Stephan of Concord, California; son, Matt Mason of Houston; son, Sam Mason of Azle and many friends, too numerous to count.
