Daniel (Danny) Francis Trenski, Jr. died on July 4" 2025 at St, Peters Hospital, Olympia, Washington, of heart failure. Life as a Juvenile Diabetic for 45 years was a challenge, especially in 2021 and 2022 when both legs were amputated below the knee and changes in his sight were a concern. The following years required more of the courage, innovation, creativity, determination and passion he used everyday of his life. As his brother, David, stated, Danny died on July 4" declaring his Independence from disease, pain and suffering.
Danny displayed his talent as a builder, mechanic, renovator and carpenter at an early age. This, plus his desire for adventure, lead to varied work experiences throughout the country. Returning home to Oceanside, California, he began his home renovation business, NO JOB TOO SMALL.
After the death of his father, Major Daniel F. Trenski, USMC Retired, Danny and his mother, Karen, moved to Silver Hawk Community in Lacey, Washington, 2 streets from his brother David and his family. Life was busy. With the assistance of family and special friend, Jon Paynter, Danny enjoyed target shooting, landscaping, gardening, riding his bike, shopping and building anything and everything out of plywood, 2x4s and Home Depot paint sticks.
The 3 sided patio at the back of the house became his Man Cave. In Summer he stocked the refrigerator with Gatorade to keep everyone hydrated and healthy. The garden, in 6 standing planters, produced tomatoes, hot peppers, cucumbers and blueberries. The mastery of the Traeger grill gave him special joy, His lighting design for the backyard gives the evening and night a peaceful experience in every season.
In Winter it was the Bills. His room is filled with Buffalo Bills Memorabilia. He was born in Buffalo, NY, on July 29, 1968, so of course, he belongs to the Bills Mafia. Every game was viewed with extra LOUD, nail biting passion.
Life with Danny was a daily adventure...we won't run out of "Danny Stories. He was a rollercoaster personality with a rollercoaster disease, get in, sit down and hang on! He will always be missed, admired, and deeply loved.
Danny's last gift was to donate his eyes. Both Corneas were accepted and now enable 2 people to see A 68 year old in California and a 69 year old in Maryland are again enjoying sunrises and sunsets. Did you feel Danny SMILE?
