Allan James Hanoski, 80, of Prosper, TX, passed away Monday, October 9, 2023 in Frisco, TX after a two-year battle with cancer. Allan was born September 28, 1943 in Milwaukee, WI to Chester and Evelyn Hanoski. He married Theresa May on October 4, 1969 and just celebrated 54 years of marriage while admitted at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Allan is survived by his wife, Theresa; son, Paul Hanoski; daughter, Jennifer Balodis and grandchild, Madison Hanoski; son-in-law, Erik Balodis; brother, Jerry Hanoski and partner Debbie Smith; five nieces, Denise, Lynn, Courtney, Heather, and Sara; aunt, Patricia Hanoski; and brother-in-law, Jerry Kallas. He was preceded in death by his parents, Chester and Evelyn; and brother, Dennis Hanoski and wife Sue. Allan served in the United States Navy. He enjoyed deer hunting and riding his BMW or Can-Am motorcycles for long trips with friends, family (son Paul), or with the Lone Star BMW Riders group. He enjoyed being an outdoorsman, building his next man cave in the woods with his friend Carl, stacking the next wood pile with Ray, or just helping out a friend with the next home project. He could be called Mr. Fix-It because he could make or fix anything. Allan would help anyone who asked, as his sense of community is how he was able to express his love for family, friends, and strangers alike when words were not at his lips. Allan enjoyed woodworking and upheld his father Chester’s tradition by making grandfather clocks for his two children. Allan enjoyed traveling in later years and was found walking the cruise ships hand in hand with Terry seeing the many sites of Europe and Alaska. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00AM, Thursday, October 12, 2023 at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in McKinney, TX with Fr. Felipe Vives officiating.
