Stephen MASON Obituary

MASON, Stephen G. (Age 65) Stephen G. Mason, 65, joined his mother, father, and brother in Heaven on December 31, 2019, after a two-month battle with lung disease. Upon arrival at the Gates of Heaven, his father greeted him with the words "Honestly Steve!,"a nick-name he bestowed upon his younger son after a series of childhood earthly misadventures and minor disasters. Steve is survived by his two sisters, Angela Horner (Keith) and Vicky Wadley (Gary); numerous nieces and nephews; and his loving companion of 25 years, Paula Calkins. Steve was born in Norwich, England, and attended high school in Hong Kong. He came to Spokane to attend Gonzaga University in 1974 and started his paint contracting business from which he retired in 2016. Throughout his life, Steve was involved in music around Spokane, playing his guitar and jamming with his best friends. He also loved camping, fishing, playing video games and spending time at Eloika Lake. There will be no service.

I just learned of Steve's untimely passing and wished I had connected with him before he left us. We played in a band in Hong Kong and I consider him a very dear friend all through high school, I feel we grew up together there. I will miss him and again wish i knew he was in Spokane, I would have visited him...RIP, dear friend, and ROCK ON...!!!
