Mason Olswanger Obituary
He loved Jesus and never missed an opportunity to tell you about his personal relationship with a Living God. Born and raised in Germantown, Mason graduated from the Bowie Reading and Learning Center. His passion for working with his hands was only matched by his unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Mason was studying to become a machinist when God called him home.
Mason loved all of God's creatures great and small but reserved a special place in his heart for his hounds. When not surrounded by friends and family, Mason found refuge in the wilderness. Spending hours walking alone in the woods, Mason rejoiced in the splendor and beauty of God's creation.
Mason's family asks that you pray for them as he did daily: Bren and Leslie, Hollye, Bo, Honey and Mac, Dorothy, Jenny and Isabel. Their grief is only measured against the joy his life gave them.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 24 from 5:00pm until 7:00pm at Memphis Funeral Home (5599 Poplar Avenue). A Family Funeral will be held on Friday, July 25 at 11:00am at Memphis Funeral Home and will be by invitation only. Mason will be laid to rest at Memorial Park Cemetery in the Garden of Peace.

Mason this is a beautiful picture. You radiate of the Peace and Contentment you find in the woods. You must have loved time spent at GrandDad Bo´s farm. You get your love of animals naturally from your GrandDad, Leslie, Honey & Mac. I was blessed with the love of animals by your GrandDad, I got my very first Maltese, at his pet store back in the 70´s. Knowing of Your love of our Lord Jesus Christ will bring great comfort during this time of grief to Bren & Leslie, Hollye, Bo, Honey & Mac, and all who love you. Enjoy all of God´s Heaven He created for us and all of His creatures great & small that He has provided for our Joy & Delight.
