In Loving Memory of Jody Calin Mason Anderson County, South Carolina • December 12, 2025
The Anderson County community is mourning the heartbreaking and unexpected loss of 36-year-old Jody Calin Mason, a beloved resident of Easley, South Carolina, whose life came to a tragic end this week. His passing has left family, friends, and neighbors devastated as they grapple with the suddenness of his loss and the unanswered questions surrounding the circumstances of his death.
On Friday morning, Anderson County dispatch received a call around 9:50 a.m. reporting the discovery of a deceased man in a wooded area off CPR Way at Welcome Road in Williamston. Responding authorities confirmed the man to be Jody Mason. According to Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore, preliminary findings indicate that Jody had been involved in a vehicle accident days earlier.
Investigators believe that on Tuesday night, Jody was driving a 2004 Toyota Sequoia along Welcome Road when the vehicle left the roadway and crashed. For reasons still unknown, it appears he exited the vehicle and left the scene before South Carolina Highway Patrol arrived. Loved ones reported him missing on Friday morning, hoping for a safe outcome. Tragically, he was located deceased shortly afterward, not far from where the accident occurred.
Jody’s death remains under active investigation as authorities work to understand what happened during the hours between the crash and the discovery. The cause and manner of death are pending, and an autopsy scheduled for Monday will help provide clarity for the family and investigators. The Anderson County Office of the Coroner, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, and the South Carolina Highway Patrol are jointly handling the case, ensuring that every detail is carefully examined.
Though the investigation continues, what remains certain is the deep void Jody leaves behind. At just 36 years old, he had so much life yet to live. Those who knew him speak of a man with a warm heart, a generous spirit, and an unmistakable presence. Whether spending time with family, lending a helping hand to a friend, or simply sharing a laugh, Jody had a way of making people feel cared for and understood.
His family is now facing the unimaginable—grieving a son, a brother, a loved one whose absence will echo in their lives forever. Their worst fears were confirmed on Friday, but they hold close the memories of his kindness, his humor, and the moments that defined his time with them. The Easley and Williamston communities share in their sorrow, offering prayers, condolences, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
As the investigation continues, the hope is that answers will bring some measure of peace to those whose hearts are shattered by this tragedy. But today, above all, is a moment to honor Jody’s life—one that touched many and ended far too soon.
May Jody Calin Mason rest in eternal peace, and may his loved ones find strength and comfort in the days ahead.
