He began his career with the Darlington County Sherrif's Office in 2024 and 
graduated from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy on March 28, 2025. 
During his short tenure, he demonstrated unwavering dedication, integrity, and 
professionalism; and

Whereas, Deputy 
Mason dedicated his life to protecting and serving the State of South Carolina; 
and

Whereas, Deputy 
Mason is proceeded in death by his father, Frank Mason; grandmother, Nell 
Stegall; grandfather, Charles (Bubba) Stegall; cousin, Tara Stegall; uncle,

Whereas, he

Teresa Stegall and Cherry Stegall (Ira); uncle, Stephen Stegall (Courtney); 
nieces and nephews, Nicole, Ti'Lyn, Billy, and Kannon; and cousins, Avery,

the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members 
of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the
