Obituary for Donnie Lynn Masten

Donnie Lynn  Masten
Donnie was born on January 8, 1960, in Levelland to Donald and Margaret (Hodges) Masten. He died in Lubbock, Texas at the age of 58 years, 9 months and 21 days. A 1978 graduate of Morton High School and 1982 graduate Texas Tech University, he farmed at Morton and was employed by Blattner Energy.
History fascinated him so he was a library patron. He was somewhat of a trivia buff and enjoyed old cars. His talk of gold and bitcoin drove his mother crazy. As a faithful member of Eastside Church of Christ in Morton, his bible is well worn.
He broke his nose playing Little League baseball, had chicken pox as a child, pneumonia in college and broke his ankle when he tumbled over his dog. He took no medicine, nor did he have a cavity. He did notice a tender, swollen leg on October 8. A clot coming loose on October 14, led to valiant efforts by staff at UMC to save his life. Too much damage had been done and he died October 29, 2018. Donnie was predeceased by his father Donald Masten in 2001.
Donnie is survived by his son Cayson, mother Margaret Masten Powell (Houston), sister Susan Merritt (Keith Coats), brother David Masten, nephews Colton, Chase, Crey and Bronson, a niece Jordon. We appreciate the dedication and compassion shown us by everyone at UMC.
