A man who lost his brother suddenly to heart disease at just 26 years old has urged young people to get their hearts checked. Dan Mason’s brother Dean died in 2010, due to an undiagnosed heart condition which took the whole family by surprise.
Describing him as a "gentle giant with a placid temperament", Dan remembers his brother as a kind person who was very family orientated, as they spent much of their lives working together.
The pair ran the family business, the Mason Brothers Quarry Products. But outside of work, Dean was an active person with a passionate motor sports fan, interested in all things with cars, and car racing- and much like lots of people in their twenties, enjoyed spending quality time with his friends.
