Simon Krasnowski

Waunakee: Simon Krasnowski died unexpectedly on December 20, 2017, at the age of 19. Born on August 27, 1998 in Madison, Wisconsin, Simon was the son of Kris (Simonson) and Rick Krasnowski. He grew up in Waunakee, Wisconsin, and was a 2016 graduate of Waunakee High School where he played on the varsity tennis team. He was a sophomore at UW-Whitewater majoring in business.

Simon was a deep thinker with a tender heart. Always intellectually curious, he had a wide variety of interests from astrophysics to movies and loved engaging in a good philosophical discussion. An avid car guy, music-lover, long-boarder and outdoor enthusiast, Simon was most at home at the family cabin where we spent many happy days on the lake, around the fire, and in the woods. He worked at Milio's in Waunakee which he truly enjoyed and where he felt like a member of the family.

Simon is survived by his parents; loving brother Sam (Waunakee); grandparents Lynn and Ed Krasnowski (Waunakee) and grandfather Robert Simonson (Neenah); aunts and uncles Terri and Erik Simonson (De Pere) and Kaaren (Paras) Harrison and Ryan Harrison (Waunakee); cousins Kelsey and Riley Simonson, Sofia Paras, and Reagan, Nick and Lexi Harrison; and many other extended family members. He was preceded in death by his grandmother Shirley Simonson.

Simon was deeply, deeply loved and will be forever missed by his family and friends. He was a bright light and brought us so much joy. He lives on in our hearts in the arms of the Lord. We want to thank all of Simon's friends, work family, and the many others who have reached out to express their love and support. We are overwhelmed by your kindness and compassion.

A celebration of Simon's life will be held on Thursday, January 4, 2018 at Peace Lutheran Church, 701 S Century Ave, Waunakee, WI. Visitation will begin at 9:30 am with a memorial service at noon and a luncheon following. A memorial fund for Simon will be established. Please share a memory at www.CressFuneralService.com.
