Scott Cary Mason was born September 26, 1959. He passed away April 19, 2015 at 55 years of age. Scott Mason, KROQ Chief Engineer and family member of over 35 years, passed away Sunday morning.
"Scott started in radio at the young age of 14. After honing his skills at various Southern California stations, a young Mr. Mason was hired to run KROQ-FM way back in 1979. Rick Carroll, the station’s program director, hired Scott to be a weekend DJ and Chief Engineer while he was still a teenager. Since that time Scott has worked every airshift on KROQ at one time or another. Scott was even an original host of Loveline with The Poorman, and Dr. Drew.
Over time, the station grew and so did Scott’s responsibilities. With KROQ eventually purchased by CBS, Scott ended up overseeing all things technical for our West Coast stations; and we have quite a few.
But Scott wasn’t just a DJ and engineer. Scott was a founding father to one of America’s greatest radio stations. He ate, slept and breathed KROQ.
Hiring interns was just one his many duties. And, like quite a few, I owe my career to Scott. Scott didn’t care about flash or glitz. He was at KROQ to make it the best radio station he could and he welcomed those with equal passion.
Scott was thoughtful and caring, always willing to go out of his way to help anyone in need, which he did frequently. His love of public service turned into Openline, a syndicated weekend show dedicated to serving the Los Angeles and Orange County communities. Scott was even a Boy Scout leader and mentor."
