Jude Mason - beloved husband, brother, father, uncle and friend - passed away in Denver. Jude was born to Jonas and Vivian Mason in Ville Platte, Louisiana.
He graduated from the College of Santa Fe and became a middle school teacher in New Mexico and later the first African American president of NEA-NM, the teacher's association. He then worked for the Colorado Education Association in the San Luis Valley and in Denver.
Delivering steady advocacy for teachers and support staff made Jude happy, as did fishing, cooking and Denver sports fandom. Whether making his famous salsa, playing his harmonica, or drawing smiles with his kind spirit, Jude infused positivity that lives on in generous acts of lives he touched.
