He leaves behind his grandmother Carolyn Fajna,godmother Diane Taylor, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was a joyful, energetic, and in-the-moment little boy. Mason took advantage of every second of everyday and was always going from sunup to sundown. He had many loves in his life including hunting, fishing, being on the farm, music, and baseball. Mason was excited to have made the Emporia-Greensville All-Stars this year and played as number #33. As a prankster, Mason loved making people laugh whether it was acting silly, dancing, or singing terribly. He wasn’t shy and always took the opportunity to meet and become a friend to everyone he knew. At a young age, Mason impacted the lives of many and will always be remembered by his goofy grin, wide eyes, blonde hair, and his one-of-a-kind personality.
