Born in Beaumont, Texas, on April 20, 1951, he was the son of Evett Daigle and Allison Crowe Daigle. Michael Daigle spent his life surrounding himself with the friends and family he loved dearly. He could often be found anywhere his wife was, and if not with her he would be goofing off with his best friends J.C. and David. He always made time for those closest to him but above all would do anything and everything for his grandchildren, never missing an activity or event they participated in. Early on he served in the Navy, earning Military Honors and later became a member of the V.F.W. Michael was an avid woodworker able to build anything while remaining humble. He enjoyed fishing and spending time outdoors. Michael made sure there was never a dull moment always making jokes and witty comments. He was very wise and always wanted to share his stories and wisdom with everyone he knew. He was deeply loved and loved just as deeply, he will be missed by everyone who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents Evett and Allison Daigle, of Beaumont; his brother Fred Daigle; and his brother-in-law Hugh Dean Ray.
He is survived by his wife of almost 19 years Wanda Daigle, of Orange; his daughter Christy Daigle, of Silsbee; and his daughter Kelly Francis and husband James, of Orange; his son Daniel Daigle and wife Lisa, of Mico; his daughter Sarah McNeil and husband Bo, of Orange; his son Billy Hale and wife Jennifer, of Orange; his daughter Kimberly Olivarez, of Katy; his sisters Ellen Ray, Patricia Richard, and Carol Maulson; his brother Steven Raynis; his brothers-in-law Ronnie Pickett, Michael Pickett, and Bud Pickett; his sister-in-law Barbara Marshall and husband Rick; his best friends JC Reeves and David Abrebo; his grandchildren Michael Francis, Jasmine Daigle, Kayla Watkins and husband Matthew, Zachary McNeil, Tyler Daigle, Zane McNeil, William Francis, Sophia Olivarez, Ethan Olivarez, Samantha Francis, and Ava McNeil; his great-granchild Kai Watkins; his nieces and nephews Adam Ray, Melanie Ray, Brooks Richard, and Allison Richard; along with several other loving family and friends.
