A bodyguard who worked with celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton has died in a car accident. Mason Haynes was 52 when he died on July 4 in a traffic accident, two days before his birthday. According to a GoFundMe established to support his family with funeral costs and financial pressures, Haynes leaves behind his wife Fay, daughter Brooke, and son Noah. Haynes is described as a protector and mentor, as well as a prankster and a “giant in every sense of the word, with an even bigger heart.” In addition to the Kardashian family, Haynes had worked with such stars as Kevin Hart, Nicki Minaj, and Charlie Puth. Haynes’ employer, Trojan Security UK, shared a photo of Haynes working with Kris Jenner in tribute to him, writing, “We would like to pay homage to an absolute legend in the Close Protection game. Big Mason. Gone too soon. Rest easy and fly high Brother 🕊️” One friend quoted in the GoFundMe’s description said that “the world has been robbed of that rare thing… a genuinely good man.”
