John ‘David’ Masten

John “David” Masten, 55 of Clemmons, passed peacefully at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center on May 15, 2020, after a long battle with substance abuse. Masten was born Oct. 10, 1964, in Winston-Salem, the son of the late Richard Kyle and Virginia Rutherford Masten. Left to mourn his passing are his siblings, Richard K. Masten Jr. (Pat) of Winston-Salem and his twin sister Martha M. Broadbent (Bryan) of Wilmington. His four nephews that he cherished as his own also survive him; Matthew Masten (Brooke), Thomas Masten of Winston-Salem, Harrison Broadbent (Megan Alexander) and Andrew Broadbent of Wilmington. Masten worked for Trim USA as a machine operator for 10 years and during this time earned his GED. He is remembered for his big heart, sense of humor and generosity for everyone. Masten was a big fan of the Grateful Dead. For those who tried to help him, the lyrics from “Box of Rain:” “Such a long long time to be gone, And a short time to be there,” resonate with them. In lieu of flowers, consider compassion and understanding for people who struggle with the family disease of addiction that is pervasive and can be all-consuming without treatment. The family is going to miss “Big Dave.” He was loved and cared for deeply and the family prays he is finally at peace. And from the Grateful Dead, “Fare you well…fare you well…I love you more than words can tell…roll, roll, roll….” A memorial service for Masten will be held at the Mastens’ home place in Oak Valley at 1 p.m. on June 6, 2020.
