Daniel Benoit Obituary
He was born on July 12, 1952 in Manchester, NH a son of the late Armand and Anna (Cassell) Benoit.
Daniel was raised and educated in Manchester, NH and graduated from Manchester High School. He worked for many years as a communications specialist with Interactive Data in Massachusetts.
When he wasn't working, he was usually spending time with his beloved grandchildren, time that brought him immense joy. Daniel also had a love for animals, especially dogs, and he loved to cook. He could also be found tinkering with small engine repairs and listening to music. When he was younger, he joked that one day he wanted to be a D.J., although that wouldn't be in the cards for him as an occupation it is still something he enjoyed doing on occasion.
In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his sister, Sharon Gilman and a nephew, Tommy Benoit.
In addition to his loving wife of 36 years, Marleen Benoit, Daniel is survived by his sisters and brother-in-law; Jane LeClerc and her husband Roger of Londonderry, NH and Pat Hudon of Goffstown, NH, his children; Sara (Benoit) Wilson of New Ipswich, NH, Sherri (Benoit) Lamb of Jaffrey, NH, his stepchildren, Aaron Deshaies of Jaffrey, NH and Jennifer Deshaies of Concord, NH, his grandchildren; Corey Deshaies, Ashley Benoit, Tyler Benoit, Matthew and Dylan Wilson, Caleb Beausoleil, Braelynn Lamb and Felicity Burgess and his three children from his first marriage, Danny, Tracy and Chris and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Marlene and the rest of Dan's family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I feel like I know all you guys because of the time that I knew Dan he talked very highly of his family. Dan was such a great person. I had the pleasure of working with him for over 20 years. He was smart, kind and funny to name just a few things. He was someone that I could go to for help when I didn't know the answer or what to do... Dan knew what to do. Too young. I left IDC and I was actually thinking of Dan last week and that I really should reach out to him but didn't know how. I am very sorry that I didn't get to follow through with trying to connect. He was awesome and he will truly be missed. I am extremely grateful that I knew him and that I could call Dan my friend. RIP Dan. Heaven just landed another angel. Love, Barbara
