Keith Mason, a beloved husband, dad, PaPa, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 14, 2026, at the age of 72. Surrounded by his loving family at his home in Desloge, Keith's spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Born on March 28, 1954, in Farmington, he was the cherished son of the late James Marvin and Zelma Alberta (Rasnic) Mason.

A lifelong resident of the area, Keith dedicated his career to the world of motorcycles. He began his journey working on motorcycles as a teenager and made his way up as manager at Donelson Cycles, affectionately referred to as “The Shop.” His workplace became a way to connect with countless friends and fellow enthusiasts. Keith cherished this time so much, he followed his friends to Leadbelt Power Sports, creating more memories until his declining health.

In his younger years, Keith took pride in his accomplishments as a professional Flat Track Racer, excelling in motocross, trials, dirt track and enduro. His love for the sport led him to dedicate countless hours to the layout and organization of The Flat River Grand Prix, a beloved local event that showcased his commitment to the racing community.

In addition to his career, he found great joy in fishing, often competing in tournaments at Lake of the Ozarks with Table Rock Lake being his absolute favorite. Keith also enjoyed traveling with his wife, which often included spontaneous fishing adventures whenever they discovered a new spot by the water.

Above all else, Keith treasured the moments spent with his grandchildren, cheering them on at their sporting events—these experiences illuminated his life and filled his heart with pride.
