Mason Robert Maresh, age 29, found peace on Wednesday, July 29, 2020.

Mason was born in Burlington, WI on September 29, 1990. He was a graduate of St. Lucy School and Washington Park High School. Talented with his hands, Mason was employed as an accomplished welder and CNC maintenance mechanic.

Among his interests, Mason stayed in shape by working out, fishing, and computer. However, Mason's world revolved around his beautiful son, Ayden (age 7). When Mason was healthy, his personality was bigger than life itself…always happy, joking, funny and life of the party.

In addition to his beloved son, Ayden…Mason is survived by his mother, Kay Maresh; father, Eric Maresh; Ayden's mother, Julia Ruyter; grandparents, Jeannie & Bon Zaptin, Elinor & Dennis Wendt, and June & Ron Winkelman; other dear relatives and many, many friends – too numerous to mention all by name. Mason was greeted in Heaven by his dad, Dale Dixon; and grandfather, Thomas Pettit.

A "Celebration of Life" will be held at Roma Lodge (7130 Spring Street) on Saturday, August 15, 2020 at 4:00 pm. A reception will immediately follow. Please, Mason would only want those who truly cared & loved him to attend. Memorials may be directed to the family for the benefit of Ayden.

In memory of Mason…please, please, please be aware that mental health illness is a crisis in our community. There are a lot of people, some of whom you would never realize or believe, struggling with everyday life due to mental illness. This epidemic needs to be addressed…please be aware and understand that this medical illness is real.

In Mason's very own words…" Remember me as I once was ".
