ThinBlueNews remembers Deputy Sheriff Devin Mason of the Darlington County Sheriff's Office in South Carolina on the anniversary of his End of Watch, Tuesday, July 1, 2025.
The Officer Down Memorial Page records that Deputy Mason was shot and killed while responding to a call on Old Timers Court in Darlington County. ThinBlueNews is summarizing ODMP's public memorial record and is not adding investigative claims beyond that source.
ODMP lists Deputy Mason as 27 years old, with three months of service with the Darlington County Sheriff's Office. ODMP records that he had completed field training one week earlier, and that he was survived by his son, mother, stepfather, and fiancée.
This anniversary remembrance is offered with respect for Deputy Mason's family, his Darlington County Sheriff's Office colleagues, dispatchers, first responders, and the South Carolina law-enforcement community that continues to carry his name forward.
Anniversary memorials matter because a fallen deputy's name should not fade after the funeral, the headlines, or the first year of grief.
