Daniel (a master story teller) held a passion for being outdoors whether it was hunting, fishing or just sitting at a camp fire sharing old stories well into the night keeping the attention of everyone young and old. He was a true inspiration to every young hunter that crossed his path always ready to show them the hunting basics and celebrate their successes.

He proudly served in the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office rising to the level of Lieutenant with 44 years of service and as Constable for both Wards 6 & 7 of Terrebonne Parish for 42 years.
