This reef is named after Steve Mason. His wife Debbie wrote the following in memory of Steve:
"Steve was a travel agent by trade & he loved to travel. His favorite place to go to relax and chill out was Mexico Beach. He frequently talked of the day when we could retire and that was our #1 location. Our family has some peace knowing he is resting peacefully and permanently at Mexico Beach.
Everyone I have talked to and encountered with the MBARA has been wonderful. I truely appreciate all the extra details you helped me to arrange. I look forward to frequent visits to Mexico Beach and hopefully will be able to retire there in the future." - DEBBIE MASON.
