It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brother Collins of Lubbock, Texas. An endowed member of Lubbock Lodge No. 1392 for over 63 years, he will be remembered for his gentle laughter, peaceful demeanor, and heartfelt prayers. His presence enriched our fraternity. 

A dedicated Mason, Brother Collins was raised a Master Mason on December 11, 1961. He served as Past Master from 2010 to 2011 and as Chaplain from 2012 until his passing. He was also an active member of the Hilltop Association and a recipient of the 25-Year Service Award (2014), the prestigious Golden Trowel Award (2015), and the 50-Year Service Award (2021).

Visitation will be held on Sunday, June 22, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Lakeridge Chapel, located at 82nd and Iola. A funeral service will take place at the same location on Monday, June 23, at 2:00 PM. Please note that there will not be a Masonic funeral service.

James A. Clark


For James, the journey of Masonry—which began in May 2000 at Clinton Lodge No. 23—is about more than just titles. Currently active in Lubbock Lodge No. 1392, Wolfforth-Frenship Lodge No. 1447, and various York and Scottish Rite bodies, he sees these affiliations as avenues for deep Masonic education. James advocates for a Craft where the bonds of the dining hall are supported by a dedication to our ancient truths. His mission within the District 93 MWSA and beyond is to harmonize social ties with reflection, moving the brotherhood from rote memorization toward the genuine pursuit of light.
