Mason Calhoun Obituary
Va Beach - Mason Len Calhoun, age 24, from Virginia Beach, was called home to the Lord Friday, June 15, 2018. A car struck his motorcycle, causing him to lose control in San Diego, CA. Mason, who was born in Charleston, SC, grew up in Virginia Beach, having moved here in 1994.
Mason was well known in the Virginia Beach community for his athleticism. He was on a sponsored paintball team called Seek and Destroy at the age of 11 with the nickname "Jester" that definitely fit his personality. He participated in numerous sports, and throughout high school, worked down at the ocean front as a Virginia Beach life guard and a surf instructor. He also worked at Jungle Golf.
Mason graduated from Ocean Lakes High School in 2011 and was accepted into NROTC at Norfolk State University that same year. He graduated from Norfolk State with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 2015 and shortly thereafter was commissioned as an ensign in the U.S. Navy.
Mason went on to serve aboard the USS DECATUR, a destroyer, as a First Lieutenant in San Diego, CA, and was currently applying to be a U.S. Navy SEAL. He loved surfing, riding his motorcycle and hanging out with friends. He was the type of person that always had a smile on his face and would always stop to talk to everyone. Recently Mason had met the woman he wanted to marry, Teresa De Aristegui, who is from Spain.
He is survived by his mother, Connie (Mason) Doering and step-father, Christopher Doering; dad, Christopher Calhoun and step-mother, Allison (Curtis) Calhoun; 4 sisters, Kayla Calhoun, Maitlyn Calhoun, Paige Doering, and Esmae Doering; 1 brother, Justin Calhoun; as well as other members of the Doering and Calhoun Families.
