Mason Haynes, a professional bodyguard who provided security for high-profile figures including the Kardashian family and David Beckham, died earlier this month in a motorcycle crash. He was 52.

The collision, which involved two Harley-Davidson motorbikes, a BMW X3, and a motorhome van, occurred on the A287 Farnham Road near Hook, Hampshire. Haynes was days away from his 53rd birthday.

His family has described him as a "gentle giant" and paid tribute to his devoted nature as a husband, father, son, brother, and friend. In a statement, they said, "It is impossible to put into words the void his death has left." They remembered him as someone who lived life fully, loved deeply, and had an indelible impression on everyone he met. They highlighted his generosity, loyalty, and willingness to help others, often traveling great distances to support friends.

Haynes's career as a bodyguard saw him protect numerous celebrities, including Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, and Sabrina Carpenter. He had also worked closely with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. His work took him to 115 countries.

During his time protecting Kim Kardashian, Haynes was present in October 2016 when armed men disguised as police officers robbed her Paris apartment of millions of dollars worth of jewelry. He later described the incident as a set of "unfortunate circumstances."

His wife, Fay Cameron-Clarke, 52, remembered him as her "best friend, my rock and the heart of our family," emphasizing his loyalty and the immense amount he gave to those around him. Their children, Brooke and Noah, were central to his life.

Following the crash, a motorcyclist in his 30s from Farnham sustained serious injuries and is receiving hospital treatment. The driver of the BMW X3, a 52-year-old man from Basingstoke, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving and driving while unfit through drugs. The driver of the motorhome, a 58-year-old man from Basingstoke, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and causing death by dangerous driving. Both drivers have since been released under investigation pending further inquiries.

The family has requested privacy as they grieve their loss while the investigation into the crash continues.
