Danny grew up first in Henderson and again in Loreauville and was one of twelve children born to Lionel and Lula Latiolais. Danny was a kind man who enjoyed the simple life of country living. He liked being outdoors, especially if it meant he was fishing. Danny loved being out in the basin or on Lake Dauterive with a line in the water, always waiting for that next bite on the line. He was an amazing cook and liked to share his cooking with friends, family, and neighbors. Danny was also very proud of his yard and kept it looking good. A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, Danny will be truly and deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him. He will be missed and remembered by so many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and fishing buddies.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Patin Latiolais; daughters, Elizabeth Latiolais Landry (Cory) of Broussard and Sarah Latiolais Vickery (George) of Dayton, TX; grandchildren, Emily Claire Landry and Carly Elise Landry; brother, Tony Latiolais (Geralyn) of Henderson; and sisters, Laura Bossenberry of Royal Oak, MI and Clarine Flaherty (Michael) of Cecilia.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Lionel and Lula Devillier Latiolais; brothers, Albert “Gooyou” Latiolais, Lionel “Mickey” Latiolais, Jr., A.J. “Dahling” Latiolais, Warren “Bob” Latiolais, Leroy Latiolais, and Darrell “Darro” Latiolais; and sisters, Georgia “Jo” L. Thibodeaux and Evelyn L. Kidder
The family ask that in lieu of flowers, please preform an act of kindness, make someone laugh, or teach a child to fish.
