Daniel loved going to church and attended New Hope Fellowship in Clinton, OK where he built his foundation for life through Christ. He loved reading his bible, listening to God’s word, and being a deacon of the church.  He loved God and building relationships with those around him.

Daniel was also very competitive.

He is survived by his wife, Nimid Leigh; his son, Logan Leigh both of Arapaho; his father, Robert Leigh of Arapaho, two brothers, Nathan Leigh of Oklahoma City, and Matthew Leigh and his wife Emily of Clinton, three sisters, Rachel Leigh of Elk City, Hannah Weldon of Oklahoma City, Jessica Vinson and her husband Kaleb of Apache, OK.
