Mikel William Danielson
December 26, 1990 — October 27, 2019
Mikel William Danielson passed away on October 27, 2019 at the age of 28.
Mikel was the third child of Bill and Carol Danielson of Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, born on December 26, 1990 in Washington, DC. Mikel was born with a genetic disorder that prevented his ability to walk or talk. Despite his reduced abilities, Mikel imparted on his parents, siblings, and those around him a joy and humility that changed their lives for the better. Mikel loved music, clapping, exploring the world in his wheelchair, and being surrounded by familiar faces.
In 1997, his family started The Mikel Foundation, a charity in his name that raises money for families of children with genetic disorders and for genetic research. The Mikel Foundation has raised nearly a million dollars since its inception and it lives on as his legacy. Mikel’s life has truly made a difference.
Mikel is survived and forever remembered by his parents, Bill and Carol, his siblings, Kyle Danielson and Jackie Bowers, his beloved caretaker, Tomeko Jenkins, his grandmother, Georgianne Danielson, his nephew William James Bowers, and his many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Mikel was preceded in passing by his grandfathers, Carmen Scarpellino and Don Danielson, his grandmother, Eleanor Scarpellino, his uncles Mike Scarpellino and Jack Scarpellino, his aunt Susan Tiernan, and his cousin USMC 2nd Lt. H. Alex Senopoulos III.
A celebration of his life with family and friends will take place at his parents’ home at 2302 Atlantic Avenue, Sullivan’s Island, SC on All Saints Day on Friday, November 1st at 5:00 PM.
