Mason Lenz Obituary

Mason Joseph Lenz, 39, passed away on February 10, 2026 in Denver, Colorado. Born on October 22,1986 in Moscow, Russia. At the age of 5, he was adopted. Mason grew into a person whose kindness, humor, and steady friendship left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

A graduate of Evergreen High School, Mason carried throughout his life a strong sense of loyalty, compassion, and dedication to those around him. He worked at King Soopers for 15 years before becoming an officer with the Department of Corrections where he remained until his passing.

Mason was known for his warm heart, thoughtful nature, and the ability to lift others' spirits with his humor and genuine support as both a friend and coworker.

Mason found joy in the outdoors and in simple, meaningful moments. He loved hunting, fishing, and spending time at the shooting range. He also had a passion for cooking healthy meals, often sharing his creations and encouraging others to enjoy good food and good company. Whether outside in nature or gathered with loved ones, Mason valued connection and lived life with sincerity and generosity.

He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Rita Lenz; father, Brad Lenz; stepmother, Elvira Thomas; his siblings, Reana Vincent, Breezy Lenz, Trevor Lenz, and step sister Diana Thomas. Mason was deeply loved by many and touched countless lives through his laughter, kindness, and unwavering presence.

Family is planning services outdoors in the summer. Details will be posted as soon as they are finalized.

Mason was one of the funniest and the greatest friend!! We worked together at Kingsoopers and when he left we always met once a month for dinner at places we have never tried! He taught me allot about friendship and keeping in touch. He will truly be missed. My heart is broken and I know he is cooking for all the angels above!

I am at a loss for words as we again lost another great Officer, and friend. I met Lenz when I transferred to DWCF. He was always at the lobby greeting staff with a smile and a little chuckle here and there. Then he left me there to go to med trans. I told him, "That was not Cool Man lol" When he moved to Med Trans he was a lot more happier and you can tell he was ready to go. I am sure going to miss that smile and personality. Lenz you were an amazing friend that will be missed by all. RIP My friend!! We got it from here.

Mason Mason Mason. How my heart shattered when I was told about your passing. You were so kind and caring and such a giving person. I will always be greatful for your friendship and so appreciative that you were always there and held my hand when I needed somebody the most. Your kindness meant more to me than you ever realized. Thank you for all the late night talks, words of encouragement, the swift kicks when I needed it. The long drives just enjoying our random conversations.
Thank you for being you. I love you.

Please accept my deepest and most heartfelt condolences during this incredibly painful time. The sudden loss of Mason has been felt deeply by our entire team; he was a dedicated professional and a true brother to his fellow officers. To lose him so unexpectedly and so soon is a tragedy that leaves a profound void at the Denver Complex and in our hearts. On behalf of myself and all who served alongside him, our thoughts and prayers are with Mason’s family and friends. We will forever honor his memory and the dedicated service he gave to our Correctional community.

Rare is the ability to make a significant, positive impact so quickly. Officer Lenz possessed that gift. Both professionally and personally, he became part of our CDOC family from the start. Known for his genuine, subtle personality (and that amazing smile), he drew people in easily as only a quality person could. He had a knack for the business of corrections, but more importantly the people in it. Mason will be missed greatly.
