Mr. Clyde Mason age 76, of Andersonville, Tennessee, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, May 9, 2013 at Tennova North in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was born on November 15, 1936 to the late Felin and Stella Griffith Mason at Parnell Cut in Scott County. Clyde was an avid Tennessee Vol fan and attended all UT football games and he especially loved his Lady Vols. His wearing of orange was his trademark, and you would never see him unless he had some kind of orange on. He entered the U. S. Navy in July of 1956 and retired after 20 years of service. He served aboard the U.S.S. Renshaw and the aircraft carrier Enterprise and saw service in the Vietnam War as a medic attached with the Marines. Clyde traveled many miles of oceans and many ports of call. He also worked many years with the postal service in Memphis. He was a Member of Norris First Baptist Church. Clyde was saved in 2010 and you would never talk to him unless he would mention the Lord, he got his promotion to his home in Heaven.
He is survived by (2) Daughters: Cynthia and Diane Mason of Bartlett, Tennessee; Niece: Janis Owens and husband Odis of the Fairview Community; Special Nephew: Ralph Mason and wife Pat of Norma; (2) Sisters-in-law: Bernie Mason of Norma and Irma Lee Mason of Smokey Junction; Good friends he considered and loved as his daughter and son-in-law: Greg and Kim Smith, and Papaw to their (2) Children: Danielle and Zane; Special Friend: Ellen Goodman of Clinton; many other special nieces, nephews, his special little nieces and nephews whom he loved so much and many other relatives and friends. Clyde's leaving us has left a empty space in all our lives but he has filled an empty spot in heaven, with Jesus and family waiting with open arms.
