Mason, 29 and a Plain City resident, was driving toward Salt Lake City with a nurse as his passenger as they returned from several days of shifts at the Uinta Basin Medical Center, in Roosevelt. Mason died at the scene, and the nurse was left in serious condition.
Services will be held Saturday, Jan. 28 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Davis Conference Center at 1651 N. 700 West in Layton.
Public visitation is from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m, and funeral services will begin at 2 p.m.

The Salt Lake City Fire Department released a statement Sunday night announcing Mason’s death.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we share this news,” Fire Chief Karl Lieb said. “Tyson was a young, professional firefighter and a talented paramedic. He was a devoted husband, who just became a father for the first time, only one week ago. He was respected by his brothers and sisters in the fire service and will be sorely missed.”
