Mason James Soper

He always cared deeply about how others felt and believed in rising above negativity. Even when the world was unkind, he felt he didn’t need to stoop down to their level. That was Mason — choosing goodness and integrity, even when it was hard.

Academics, Work & Dreams

He was incredibly smart, finishing in the top 10 of his graduating class of 2023 at Harbor Beach High School. While going to school, he worked at Little Caesars in Harbor Beach and never wanted to miss a shift, showing his dedication and responsibility. He also studied his senior year at the Huron Area Tech Center Bad Axe, in the CAD program. Mason picked Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU) where he planned to study mechanical engineering, a field he was excited about exploring.

Hobbies & Joys

Mason loved playing computer games with his friends, and Anime — especially One Piece — which brought him so much joy. Those moments of laughter, learning, and connection meant the world to him.

His Heart & Companions

Mason had a special love for animals, especially his dogs, Chico and Zoey. They weren’t just pets — they were part of his heart. In 2025, they passed away and are now together with Mason, continuing their bond in heaven.

Legacy

Though he was quiet, his presence was powerful. His life mattered. His kindness mattered. His integrity mattered.

“When do you think people die? It’s when they are forgotten.”

— Dr. Hiluluk, One Piece

Mason is forever loved, forever missed, and will never be forgotten.
