Mason Brian Jacobson
January 26, 2004 * August 1, 2022
Mason Brian Jacobson, 18, of Sioux Falls, passed away on August 1, 2022 as a result of a motor vehicle accident.
Mason was born on January 26, 2004, in Sioux Falls to his beloved parents Brian “Freddie” and Joy Jacobson. ‘Moose’ as he was lovingly called by his family and friends, was an old soul with a heart of gold. He got along with absolutely everyone–instantly greeting you with a huge smile and big bear hug.
Mason attended Harrisburg High School and graduated in May of 2022. He was a loyal friend to his classmates and a leader amongst his teammates. Mason was excited to begin his college years at Minnesota State University in the fall, with a football scholarship. He spent the summer preparing–creating workout plans, setting goals with his coaches and always giving 110%.
When Mason wasn’t playing football, he was no doubt spending time outdoors. Hunting with his dad, fishing with his grandpa, riding four-wheelers with his cousins or working at his summer landscaping job. Mason loved the peaceful nature of everything the outdoors had to offer
.
No matter what he was doing, Mason had a larger-than-life personality. Dubbed the official ‘party-starter’ from age 6, Mason would belt out a karaoke tune for all to hear, or bust out in a dance move just to embarrass his sister, or get Mom to style his hair to impress all the ladies.
Above all else, Mason was the definition of a family man. There was nothing in the world he loved more than spending time with his parents, siblings, cousins or grandparents. Always in the stands cheering his brother and sister to victory. Always there to give a helping hand to family no matter what. Always the brother so many cousins never knew they needed. Always ready to take on any challenge his uncles could throw his way. And always ready to spend time with the ones he loved.
Mason is survived by his parents Brian and Joy (Bartlett) Jacobson; his sister, Amira and his brother, Cole. He also leaves his grandparents, Mike and Gail Bartlett, and his great-grandfather, Jerry Bartlett of Waterloo, IA; his aunts and uncles: Kim (Jacobson) and Bill Hein, Todd and Barb Jacobson, Scott and Heather Jacobson, Heather (Jacobson) and Stephen Rost, Jennifer (Bartlett) and Jay Larson, Jarod and Brooke Bartlett; his “little cuz” as he lovingly called them: Alex, Ashley, Bergen, Olivia, Anaka, Ainsley, McKinley, Sophie, Elizabeth, Howard, Jacobson, Sladen, Summit, Adalynn, and Kyra; and his dog Zara.
Mason was preceded in death by grandparents Howard and Cheri Jacobson.
All are welcome to join in celebrating the life of Mason Jacobson. Visitation with family present will be held 5:00 - 7:00 pm on Friday, August 5, 2022 at Embrace Church, 2800 East 57th Street, Sioux Falls. A funeral service will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 6, 2022 also at Embrace Church.
