Jonathan Mason Obituary

Jonathan Mason Aug. 4, 1948 - Sept. 3, 2006 Reaching out with his heart and hands, Jonathan touched many of us, his wisdom and strength grounding us, his warmth and compassion drawing us in. Those who experienced the healing hands of "one of the finest massage therapists on the planet" insisted he was the best in the world. His wife, Julie Bowman, found him the most considerate and romantic man on any planet. A generous soul with many passions, he consciously created a life filled with love and grace. The love surrounding and emanating from this gentle spirit continues to unfold, sharing with us the peace he is now experiencing. Friends are invited to gather and celebrate Jonathan's life on Saturday, September 9 at 11:00 a.m. at Unity Center, 9603 Dessau Road.

Julie, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Jonathan will always be remembered for his loving soul and that big beautiful smile.



I hope you are able to find peace with his crossing, as I am sure he is at his finest now that he is free of his body.



All my love,
