MEET DANNY

Danny Mansour was a big kid at heart with a gift for making life brighter. He loved nothing more than bringing joy to the people around him — family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers. He was the one who could turn an ordinary moment into laughter, whether by making a silly face for a photo, cracking a joke, or finding a playful twist to lighten a tough situation. His big heart and playful spirit made everyone feel welcome, cared for, and loved.

Danny also had a strong connection to the disability and special needs community. His father lived with partial paralysis, and his nephew was born with Down syndrome. These personal connections inspired Danny to dedicate time to volunteering with organizations that supported children and adults with special needs. Giving back was second nature to him — helping people, lifting them up, and making them smile was simply who he was.

And then there were the dinosaurs. Danny was known for showing up in the popular blow-up dinosaur costume, whether at family gatherings or kids’ events, just to make people laugh. He loved entertaining children, dancing around, or acting silly to brighten the day. Dinosaurs became part of his signature fun — a symbol of his humor, playfulness, and his love for making others happy.

But Danny’s giving spirit went far beyond laughter. He was always ready to lend a hand. Whether it was giving a ride to the airport, chopping down a tree, or taking an elderly friend of the family shopping, Danny never hesitated when someone needed him.

When Danny passed away in 2025 at just 49 years old, his family knew they wanted to carry forward the love and joy he spread so effortlessly. That’s why Danny’s Dinosaurs was created: to honor his memory by supporting children and adults with special needs, making sure they feel included, celebrated, and cared for — just as Danny always made people feel.

At Danny’s Dinosaurs, once you are a Dinosaur, you are always a Dinosaur. Just like Danny’s love, the herd is forever.
