Brother Wayne Keith “Pumpkin” Mason was the sixth of nine children, born September 19, 1956 to the late John Mason, Jr. and Mrs. Annie Lou Taylor Mason of Kings Ferry, Florida. He received his early education in the public schools in Hilliard and Callahan, Florida. He received his GED while serving in the United States Army. He was lovingly known as Pumpkin, Uncle Pumpkin, and Uncle Wayne.
He had a love for drums. He would set up cans to make him a drum set and beat on them. He was always making some type of rhythm with his hands. When you saw him, there was always a smile on his face.
He is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Ralph Mason; and sister, Mrs. Chloe Mason Trice Brown.
