Edward Mason

Edward Hulen Mason, 52, passed away on February 14, 2021 at the Orangeburg Regional Medical Center.  A graveside service will be held at Hampton Cemetery at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, February 17, 2021, and the family requests that all in attendance wear masks per COVID-19 protocols.  Visitation will be immediately following the service at the cemetery.

Edward was born October 3, 1968, in Hampton, the only son of the late Jeanette Funchess Mason and Cecil Edward Mason.  He attended Hampton schools and was a member of Hampton United Methodist Church.

Edward loved his family, his church, country music, the Watermelon Festival, the Raylrode Daze Festival, and the South Carolina Gamecocks, no matter how many times his family tried to talk him into being a Clemson fan.  While in school, he participated numerous times in the Special Olympics, and was proud of his many medals.

He never met a stranger, was quite a charmer, and could always be counted on for a high-five or a hug.  Edward's loving nature and zest for life were blessings to his family, friends and neighbors.

Edward is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Claire and Edward Freeman of Rowesville, a nephew Mason Freeman (Richard) of Winston-Salem, a niece Anna Claire Freeman Butler (Nick) of Greer, a great-nephew Hayes Butler of Greer, several cousins and his second family at the Aldersgate House in Orangeburg.

The family requests that memorials be sent to Aldersgate Special Needs Ministries, PO Box 203, Ballantine, SC 29002.
