David Claiborne Daigle returned to his heavenly home suddenly on May 30, 2020. His devotion to his wife and family, their dedication to him, and his unwavering faith in God supported him throughout his journey, and ultimately gave him peace. He was a true warrior and an inspiration to all around him; those who were blessed with his presence have suffered a great loss. David was born to the late Hubert and Grace Richard Daigle, in Donaldsonville, LA on February 12th, 1944. He was blessed to both be a part of a loving family, and to create one of his own. He is survived by his wife, Carol Childress Daigle; his daughters Dorothy Pak (Steve), Kimberley Daigle (Alan Pavy), Stacey Daigle and son David Daigle, Jr (Maria); his grandchildren Amelia Pak, Hampton Pak, Finn Pak, David Daigle, Daniel Daigle, Victoria Daigle, Ava Daigle, Gordon Pavy, and Ewan Pavy. David is remembered most often as a kind and gentle soul, and always a gentleman. His legacy is of his enormous love for his wife, Carol, who was the love of his life for 52 years. His devotion to his family as they grew and commitment to bringing them all together for vacations and special times at the lake has led to a very close-knit family who loves each other dearly.
David is also survived by his sister, Joy Dubreuil (David) and his sisters-in-law Inez Daigle, Gayle Ward and Cindi Fury (John), along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who loved him. He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Hubert Daigle, Jr. (Inez) and granddaughter Madeleine Grace Pak. Arrangements will be handled by Johns-Ridout’s Funeral Parlors in Birmingham, AL with a socially-distanced celebration of life for the family on June 2nd, 2020. David will be interred at the columbarium at the Cathedral of Saint Paul next to his granddaughter Madeleine. The family gratefully accepts prayers and condolences, and requests that you share your memories with them on the Johns-Ridout’s website, www.dignitymemorial.com. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Vincent’s Foundation at One Medical Park East Dr. Birmingham, AL 35235 or http://www.stvhs.com/give or to a charity of your choice.
