Dawson is survived by his parents, John and Paula Ivanowski; his sister, Delayne Ivanowski; grandparents, Wes and Dianne Pence, Rich and Bette Ivanowski and many loving aunts, uncles, and friends. He was a member of the Kirkwood Hockey Stars.
Beginning in the fall of 2004, six-year-old Dawson Ivanowski learned how to play hockey and had a great time making new friends as a Mini-Mite in the Kirkwood Youth Hockey program. In the spring of 2005, Dawson was complaining that his chest hurt. A routine x-ray showed a ‘shadow' near his heart. A MRI confirmed that there was indeed a ‘mass'. Further testing confirmed Dawson had cancer called neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is a terminal disease that most commonly affects children under the age of ten. It begins as a solid cancerous tumor in the nerve tissue of the neck, chest or abdomen and can spread to organs and bone marrow. There are approximately 1,000 kids diagnosed with the disease each year in the USA.
Dawson never allowed the disease to bring him down and he fought to the very end. All Dawson ever wanted was to be a normal kid. He loved his friends, family, the great outdoors and most of all he loved the St. Louis Blues and the game of hockey.
