Stevie Mason Obituary

What a blessed day - September 12, 1963 - when blossoming baby boy Stevie was born in Amite County, Mississippi!
Stevie was educated in the Jackson Public Schools System attending Van Winkle and Forest Hill Schools. By the time Stevie entered high school, his fervent passion for athleticism and music was evident by his participation in sports (football, baseball) as well as church and school choirs and band. Following his high school graduation, Stevie continued his pursuit of knowledge at Jackson State University (JSU) where he also was an offensive lineman on the school's championship winning football team. In 1986, Stevie received his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Biology.
Stevie received his B.S. degree in Physical Therapy from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU).
He later worked as a physical therapist at Memorial Hermann Hospital-Southeast. Furthermore, Stevie's firm and tenacious work ethic led him to obtain both a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) from Texas Southern University and a Clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine. God's favor upon Stevie's professional life would become even more apparent in his becoming the Director of Rehabilitation Services at Memorial Hermann Hospital-Southeast.
Stevie remained courageous and his relationship with God continued to flourish during the course of his illness. During the quiet, evening hours of Wednesday, July 23, 2008, God saw that Stevie was tired and spoke unto him, "Come unto me and rest."
Those who remain to cherish Stevie's memory are his loving wife and friend, Charlean Bracey Mason; his children, Stephen Tyler and Kirby Alexandra Mason; his parents--Eula and Eli Mason, Jr.; sisters-- Rosanna and LaToya Mason. Stevie also leaves to treasure his life a host of cousins, other relatives, friends, and professional colleagues.

Charlean and family
Your loss is felt in the state of Louisiana. I met Stevie "Pac Man" Mason at JSU during our tenure there. He was a loving & fun person to be around. I can still recall the smile and the jokes. His memory will live on forever in my heart. Cast your cares on the Lord for He cares for you. Remember, earth has no sorry nor pain that Heaven cannot heal.

What a wonderful example you have set as a hard working and loving Husband and Father. Your family was blessed to have you in their lives as were many of the patients you helped on their roads to recovery. I know that you are in heaven,for your belief was so evident. You have fought a good fight, stayed the course and now it is time to rejoice with the angels in heaven.

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the belovèd's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley
The Poetry Foundation

I will pray for you and the family during this time of sadness. I love you and the family.
Love,
Your goddaughter Amber

Charlene, I a so sorry for the loss of your best friend. But, I can't help but think what rejoicing there must have been when Stevie was welcomed into Heaven's Gates, with his face beaming, and his heavenly Father saying job well done, my good and faithful servant...well done. He is finally free from this earthly body that he so mightily struggled with, and now he is healed, resting safely in the arms of Jesus. May God give you a special peace like nothing you have ever experienced, and may you take hope in the knowledge that you will see Stevie again.
