He attended John Adams High School and pursued his passion for caring for others by completing his CNA certification at Fountainview Care Center in Mishawaka, Indiana. His dedication and compassion left an indelible mark on those he served.
Mason was known for his charismatic, "life of the party" personality. He loved his hats and suits, he always made everyone laugh with his jokes. He loved training his dogs, cooking, riding his bike, playing basketball, and enjoying his "white coffee" while listening to his music, The Whispers was his favorite group.

He was a proud grandfather to 28 grandchildren and great-grandfather to 7 great-grandchildren, his siblings-Glenda Murphy-Buchanon, Beverly Dempsey (Kenny), Debbie Murphy (Bill), Donna Murphy, Stacey Murphy (Erskine), and Lisa Murphy-along with his aunts, Elizabeth Harris, Ethelean Birdie, and Hattie Parker, and his uncle, Andrew Harris, will forever treasure the moments shared with him. He also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, including a special cousin, Ronald White, and a longtime special friend, Angela Carruthers, whose lives were enriched by his presence.
Mason was the loving son of the late Lowell Mason Murphy Sr. and Alzate Murphy.
