Devin Mason is my nephew. I got the call Tuesday morning at 5:04 am. The call that I prayed I would never get. We are completely devastated. It’s like something you’d hear on the news or read in the paper. Young Deputy just getting started with his career and with a two month old son…killed in action. Nobody ever wants to think it could be your family member but this time the nightmare is ours. I love my nephew like he is my son. He is my Hero. Please continue to pray for our family. Especially his fiancée, Madi, and baby boy, Brooks James Mason. We will be laying him to rest Tuesday near his grandparents. To all first responders let me say what I told Devin every time I talked to him recently. Please for the love of God…don’t take any unnecessary risk and always watch your back. God bless you all.

Officer Mason, a police officer, should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your 3 months of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Darlington County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
