Larry Vernon Mason, 86 of Toney passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 22, 2018 surrounded by his loving family. He is preceded in death by his parents, Willy & Mary Cantrell Mason; two brothers and three sisters.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 52 years, Wanda Smith Mason; one son, Tommy Mason; three daughters, Sandra Smith (Wendell), Cathy Marler and Tammy Hoffman; grandchildren, Misty Wheeler (Eric), Dustin Green (Candace), Melissa Neal (Ethan), Chris Payne (Samantha), Katlyn Marler, Terra Hoffman, Aurora Rich (Chancelar), Makenzie Gamble (Alex) Malea Mason and Erica Payne; eight great-grandchildren, Noah, Alexis and Tanner Wheeler, Hunter and Fisher Green, Kynnedi and Maci Neal, Brandon Payne and two on the way and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.

Pawpaw was a very meek, kind and gentle soul. He loved his family with all his heart. Nothing made him happier than seeing his kids and grandkids eating. He was a mechanic in his younger days, built race cars and was at the races every Friday night ready to win. Later in his life, he enjoyed selling produce under a tree somewhere. He was a simple, patient pawpaw so easy to please. We will miss him every day and be so thankful he found the way.
