Mason C. Evich, 28, of Fairhaven died February 20, 2025. He was a devoted son, brother, and loyal friend. He was everything wonderful. If you were lucky enough to know Mason, you LOVED him. A beacon of kindness, with a gentle soul that touched everyone he met, the pain we feel in losing him is indescribable.

Born in Seattle, Washington, Mason was the loving son of Dagne (Sovik) Evich and the late Adam Evich. He was also the grandson of the late Lars Sovik and Marcia (Fuller) Evich. Mason is survived by his mother, his younger brother Turner, his maternal grandmother Sonja Sovik, his paternal grandfather Peter Evich, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family and friends in both Seattle and Massachusetts.

Mason lived in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, with the love and light of his life, Lexy Paim, and their two beloved fur babies, Abel and Indy. We take some comfort in knowing that the last few years of Mason's life with Lexy brought him immense happiness and fulfillment.

Mason's love for fishing was passed down from his father, a lifelong commercial fisherman.  Each summer, Mason accompanied his dad to Bristol Bay, Alaska, where they salmon fished together on the family's fishing vessel. After graduating from Fairhaven High School, Mason attended the Northeast Maritime Institute, where he earned his associate degree and captain's license. He later worked as a mate on commercial fishing vessels out of Cape May, NJ, and New Bedford, MA.

Though his time with us was far too short, the joy Mason brought into our lives will always be cherished. His infectious smile, kind spirit, and unwavering dedication to his family and friends will remain his legacy. We will carry you in our hearts forever, Mason.

His Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 1st at 11 AM at the Country Club of New Bedford, 585 Slocum Rd, North Dartmouth, MA 02747.
