Mason Danoski

Mason Murat Danoski, age 23, passed away on April 28, 2025. Born in Pyatigorsk, Russia, on February 6, 2002, Mason joined the Danoski family through adoption on April 2, 2003—a moment that forever changed the lives of those who loved him.

Mason was a brilliant, kindhearted young man who embraced life with a unique spirit and unwavering individuality. He was someone who joyfully marched to the beat of his own drum, always curious, always exploring. As a child, he had a deep love for Legos, and that creative passion grew into a fascination with tinkering—especially with cars. Mason had a mind that never stopped working and a heart that was just as full.

He is survived by his loving parents, Derrick and Jenny (Janssen) Danoski; his sisters, Grace Danoski and Lillah Danoski; his grandparents, Ed and Deb Danoski, and Linda Janssen; Aunts and Uncles Dave and Dawn Janssen, Wendy and Andy Allar, and Sarah and Greg Pieper. Preceded by grandfather David Janssen. Mason’s presence brought joy, curiosity, and compassion into every room he entered. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, May 21, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Holidays in Appleton with light hors d'oeuvres. Friends and family are invited to come and share memories, laughter, and love in honor of Mason.
