Robert Mason Obituary
May 22, 1927-March 25, 2020
A wonderful gentleman has reached the end of his trail. Bob Mason passed peacefully last week surrounded by his loving family. He was born and raised a Belle Plaine, Kansas farm boy and became an athlete, businessman, community leader, hiker, historian, author, public speaker, and mentor to many. He is survived by his devoted wife of 71 years, Dorothy, and his 3 loving children Martha Mason of Minnetonka, MN; Robert Mason (Suzanne Miles) of New River, AZ; and Mary Currie (Dave Currie) recently from GA to Rio Verde, AZ. Bob was also very proud of his seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
Bob (#10) was a renaissance man who was kind, considerate, and made others feel important. His love for the community of Rio Verde, its desert surroundings, and the history of the lower Verde Valley can be felt in the many books and poems he wrote in his later years. He will be missed by all.
Due to current circumstances memorial services will be held at a later date.

Mr. & Mrs. Mason were very kind. They lived a very busy life and were dedicated too their community, as well as the Forestry, and nature that surrounded them. I was honored to have had the privilege of knowing them. People that leave an impact on your life, never forgotten.
God Bless - forever in the hearts of many - RIP Mr. & Mrs. Mason

Dear Dorothy and family,
My grandfather was Chester Mason, a step-brother to Uncle Lowell. We had many picnics at the Mason farm on the Belle Plaine road. My mother was Nola Mason Hukle. Bill and I enjoyed your visit in Wichita a few years back where I received Robert's book, "The Burning".
I trust you will find comfort from family and friends in the years to come.
I'd love to hear from any of you.
Blessings from God to you.
