Mason Jay Lynn Shetler

Mason Jay Lynn Shetler, age 13 of South Bend, passed away on Monday, November 6, 2017 at Memorial Hospital.  Mason was born November 24, 2003 in Goshen, Indiana.
He enjoyed doing what most 13 year old boys do, playing video games, building things with his Lego’s, doing puzzles and playing games with his family, rollerblading and playing the drums. Mason also loved animals, collecting rocks, and riding his bike.  He enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially fishing, even though he didn’t like to bait his own hook, or take a fish off of his line!
His loved holidays. Thanksgiving was a favorite because it falls on his birthday about every 6 years. His favorite was getting dressed up for Halloween and trick-or-treating. He also loved Easter, 4th of July and Christmas.  Most importantly, Mason had a deep love for his family, and cherished the time they would spend together playing practical jokes on each other, and enjoying family dinners together.
He leaves behind his mother and father Jennifer and Erik Powers of South Bend, his siblings Cody, Lexie, Jagger, Kyleigha, Gage and Levi, and his Grandmother Michele.  Also surviving are his aunts and uncles, Raven, River, Stephanie, Michael and great aunt and uncle Reverie and Aaron.
A private celebration of life service for Mason will be held at a later date.  Cruz Family Funeral Home and Cremation Service is handling the arrangements.  To leave an online condolence, light a virtual candle, or to view Mason’s online video tribute, please follow the links provided.
