Memorial
Dennis (Denny) Richard Mason, 67, of Cedar Rapids died July 11, 2018 at St Luke’s Hospital, surrounded by loved ones. He was born September 18, 1950 in Vinton, Iowa, to Richard and Dorothy Mason.
Dennis had a love of cars and never saw a muscle car he didn’t like. He enjoyed his sweets without his family knowing. He enjoyed watching fishing and car shows with his family, he knew every episode of Supernatural. Although his health issues restricted him, his laugh, and mischievous smile were infectious and will be missed by everyone.
Dennis was proud to serve his country, serving during the Viet Nam War, and the Army Reserves following his return home. Dennis was employed at P & H Harnischfeger until his retirement.
Dennis is survived by his wife Bonnie: children Elizabeth (Henry) Etten, and Shawn Mason and girlfriend (Tina Cherveny); grandchildren Elias, Cierra, Kaitlyn, and Skylar; his mother Pauline Mason; and siblings Diana Usher, Mike (Deb), Rich (Kim), and John (Cathy) Mason, and several nieces, nephews, and cousins and his special fur-friend “Miss Kitty”. He was preceded in death by his father Richard “Dick” Mason and mom Dorothy Knaack.
A visitation will be held on Tuesday July 17, 2018 from 1:00-3:00 pm at Cedar Memorial Chapel of Memories, followed by a service at 3:00 pm, with entombment to follow.
Any memorial in Dennis’ honor may be directed to the family.
