The World Lost An Amazing Person
Mason S. Wickline, age 26, passed away suddenly as a result of a motor vehicle accident on Tuesday, July 4, 2023.
Born in Waterbury on June 6, 1997, Mason was the son of Catherine Risigo-Wickline of Wolcott and of Jeffrey Wickline and his wife Gloria of North Carolina. He was a 2016 graduate of Holy Cross High School and attended Porter & Chester Institute. He worked as a Nuclear Test Electrician for General Dynamics Electric Boat and was a member of the IBEW Union. Excited about his job, Mason worked hard to build a career in his chosen field.
A kind, gentle soul, Mason was full of life, always joking with his friends, and loved by so many people. He had an amazing group of close friends with whom he spent time. As a small child, Mason had a special love for dogs that carried throughout his life, and he never met a dog he didn't want to take home. Mason enjoyed playing video games with his brother Curtis and his friends. He also enjoyed playing football and rugby in his younger years and was an avid fan of golf.
Mason was very much loved by so many people and will truly be missed.
