Mark was born on May 28, 1962, in Baytown, Texas to Charles Louis Daigle and Annette Lemmon Daigle, who preceded him in death. After the family moved to Jefferson, Texas, a teenaged Mark wore many hats in the local community, including in the grocery store, the feed store, the Excelsior House Hotel, and Daigle Construction.
Mark attended the University of Texas before starting a thriving and fulfilling career in homebuilding. He spent the majority of his homebuilding career with Tilson Homes, before starting M. Daigle Custom Homes, his own custom homebuilding business. He spent his entire life maintaining a passion for building homes for the communities that he lived in; for some time, he acted as Vice President of Codes and Standards of the Greater Houston Homebuilding Association. He had a stellar reputation in the homebuilding community for “doing things right” for his clients and turning their visions into reality. He took great pride in his craftsmanship, and it meant a lot to him to help people live in their dream homes.
Mark was a man of strong faith and an active member in the Catholic community by way of his church, St. Joseph’s in New Waverly, Texas.
Mark is survived by his beloved wife, Josette Daigle, whom he married on April 17th, 1993. He is also survived by son Mark Allan Daigle, Jr. and daughter-in-law Ashly Michelle Daigle and granddaughter Madilyn Grace Daigle; daughter Amy Janell Itzel, along with son-in-law Brandon Michael Itzel and granddaughters Juliet Elise Itzel and Alison Kate Itzel; son Adam Lee Daigle and daughter-in-law Nadine Ona Daigle; sister Elizabeth Anne Dickson and family; brother Charles Louis Daigle, Jr. and family; and beloved pets Purl, Bounce, and Biscuit.
