Stephen Mason Obituary

Mason, Stephen L. BRUNSWICK Stephen L. Mason, 25, made his ascent to Heaven on August 29, 2016. Born in Troy, he was the son of Stephen and Andrea Mason; and the fiance of Kayla Scuderi. Stevie was a graduate of Averill Park High School and at the time of his death, had been employed in the family business where he proudly worked alongside his father and brothers. He was a devoted step-dad to Liam and looked forward to the birth of his daughter. He enjoyed anything with motors and wheels. Stevie was a genuine, kindhearted and giving person, and was also a devoted son, brother, nephew and cousin. Survivors, in addition to his parents, fiancee and step-son, include his siblings, Raymond (Nicole) Mason, Ryan Mason (Shelby Engwer) and Savannah Mason; his grandmother, Donna Ochoa; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Stevie was predeceased by his maternal grandfather, Luis Ochoa; and by his paternal grandparents, Raymond and Joan Mason. The funeral will be held Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, Troy where the Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated. Interment will be in St. Agnes Cemetery, Menands. Relatives and friends are invited to call Friday at the Daniel D. Purcell Funeral Home, 510 Pawling Ave., at Parkview Court, Troy from 4 until 8 p.m. Donations in Stevie's memory may be made to Kayla Scuderi in care of the funeral home for a college fund for Stevie's daughter.
