Marshall Mason, Jr.

There's an open gate at the end of the road,
Through which each must go alone; And there is a light we cannot see;
our Father claims his own.
Beyond the gate our loved one finds happiness and rest;
And there is comfort in the thought, that a loving God knows best.

    Marshall Mason, Jr., began his journey through life on Wednesday, December 26, 1956, in Northampton County, North Carolina.  He was born to the parentage of  the late Marshall Mason, Sr. and Grace Smallwood Mason.   
      
     'Mar Jr.', as he was affectionately called by his family and friends, was educated in the Northampton County Public School System.    For many years, he was employed with Severn Peanut Company.  

     Marshall had several hobbies, including fishing, riding his bike and lounging in his backyard swing.  He was an avid sports fan.  He loved the Duke Blue Devils and the San Francisco 49ers.  He often spoke of his belief in God and his love for the Lord; confessing his salvation.  

     On Wednesday, July 11, 2018, our dear loved one peacefully departed this earthly life; while in the care of The Brian Center, Hertford, North Carolina.   In addition to his parents, Marshall was also preceded in death by a  sister, Dorothy Mason.
