Mr. Daugherty was born in Saint Louis, Missouri on October 10, 1943 to the late Virgil E. and Anna Mae Bray Daugherty. He retired from Clemson University, and was a U.S. Navy Veteran, serving on Nuclear Submarines. Throughout Mr. Daugherty's life, he had many hobbies and interests, including golf, the outdoors, working with his tractor, singing, playing guitar, and "tinkering". He was very proud to have graduated from the Citadel with a degree, despite being an adult that was married with 3 children.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Daugherty was preceded in death by his step-mother and father: Grace and Ed Becker.
