James Paul Mason, age 67, of Granger, Indiana, passed away peacefully on October 28, 2025, at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center surrounded by the love and support of his children. Born on November 5, 1957, in Weymouth, MA to the late Charles and Mary Mason. Jim grew up in Hanover, MA and attended Hanover Highschool then graduated college at Westfield State. Jim (or affectionately also known as Mace) at a young age was known for his love for sports and the water. He played ice-hockey, street hockey, basketball, baseball, football and in college some club water- polo. His hobbies included boating on Lake Michigan with his Boston Whaler, and with his Black lab Charlie right by his side. He loved watching his Patriots, Boston Red Socks, and The Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He was known for his infectious humor, charm, and personality that could make you want to befriend him right away. He left such a positive impact on those he encountered in his life. He was an amazing father and best-friend for his children and all of their accomplishments. He dedicated his life to his family and grade school friends of 60+ years, leaving a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know and love him. James is survived by his 3 children Michael, MacKenzie, (Husband Drew) and Madeleine Mason. He is also survived by his brother Charles Mason and Micheal Mason (Wife Jory) and his nieces and nephews. James is preceded in death by his father Charles Mason and mother Mary Mason. A celebration of life will be scheduled in Massachusetts and Indiana and will be announced by the family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to either University of Cincinnati Heart failure and Heart transplant fund, American Heart Association or American Cancer Society.

Jim says
November 5, 2025 at 3:26 pmMy family and I are so incredibly sorry to learn of Jim’s passing. He was a great friend and neighbor to us. I can’t count how many laughs and good days we shared together at Studebaker Golf Course in South Bend. So many here have shared their thoughts and prayers these last several weeks, with every best wish for his health and his beloved family. He was so proud of his children, sharing so many wonderful stories and accomplishments. He will be deeply, and so dearly, missed. Much love to his family!
