Mason was born on July 30, 1997, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the son of Donald Webber and Tonya O'Neal. He graduated from West Marshall High School in State Center, Iowa, with the Class of 2015. Mason entered the Army in March of 2018 as a Bradley Fighting Vehicle system maintainer, and had been assigned to 4th Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, and 1st Cavalry Division since August 2018. He met and married Kayla Webber on March 27, 2019, in Copperas Cove, Texas.
Mason loved life and enjoyed being outdoors. He loved dirt bike racing, skateboarding, playing video games and riding his motorcycle. But Mason's true passion was all the great times spent with his friends and family. Mason was known for being the life of the party and drinking his favorite beverage, SoCo. He had a deep passion for all animals, especially cats and dogs. Mason could always be counted on to do the right thing in every situation, helping people without having to be asked. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Mason is survived by his parents, Tonya O'Neal-Grefe of Marshalltown, Iowa, and Donald Webber of Garwin, Iowa; a daughter, Stella Rose Storm Webber, and wife, Kayle Webber, both of Harker Heights, Texas; two sisters, Jordon Webber and Taya Grefe, both of Marshalltown, Iowa; a brother, Marcus Webber of Ankeny, Iowa; grandfather, Lowell Webber of Marion, Iowa; niece, Henley Webber; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
