Alex Stephen Mastey, 20, passed away on July 2, 2014. Born on May 23, 1994, in Shawano, he was the son of Joe and Karyn (Vargo) Mastey.
Alex was a 2012 graduate of the Shawano Community High School and was attending the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. He enjoyed playing tennis as well as the guitar and the saxophone, but his passions were photography and snowboarding. Alex was consistently a very kind and gentle person. A highlight in his life was when he traveled around the world with Youth with a Mission (YWAM), spreading the Gospel in seven countries. Alex’s love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ encouraged him to love and serve others, and this brought him much joy and satisfaction.
Forever in our broken hearts, Alex is survived by his parents, Joe and Karyn Mastey, of Shawano; a brother, Kevin (Jaimie) Mastey, Indianapolis, Indiana; two sisters, Sarah (Rory) Groessl, of Algoma, and Kelly Mastey, of Shawano. He is further survived by his grandparents, Donna Vargo, of Shawano, James (Mary) Vargo, of Indiana, Stan and Jean Mastey, of Indiana; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, July 8, 2014, at the Hope Community Church with the Rev. John Anderson officiating. Burial will be in the Woodlawn Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the church Tuesday from 10 a.m. until the time of services.
