Dannielle Martine LeClair, affectionately known as Danni, left this world on August 14, 2025, in Cedar, Minnesota, at the age of 37. Born on May 30, 1988, Danni was a radiant soul who transformed the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. 

From the very beginning, Danni faced a permanent disability resulting from an illness in infancy, but lived under the guidance of God's blessings.

Danni leaves behind a loving family, including her father, Mark LeClair, and his wife, Robin Dionne. She is survived by her beloved siblings: Sophia, Brianna, Joshua, Samantha, and Lillian. Additionally, Danni's grandmother, Lynn LeClair, will remember her with fondness and love. 

Danni was predeceased by her mother, Adrienne LeClair, and her grandparents, Norman and Mary Kangas, Edward and Rae LeClair.

Danni journey was further supported by countless caretakers and professionals dedicated to nurturing her well-being, for whom her family remains profoundly grateful. Each doctor, social worker, nurse, and caregiver played a significant role in enhancing Danni's quality of life, extending kindness and compassion throughout her life. Special thanks go to Belinda Clarey, Laurie Maguire, Stephanie Hawkes, Danielle Johnson, and DD Zelin, whose help with Dannielle is immeasurable.

As we celebrate Danni's life, we honor her remarkable spirit, which continues to inspire us all. Though she may have left this earthly realm, her essence will forever remain in the hearts she touched, a reminder of the beauty found in resilience and love. We are comforted by the words of our savior in Matthew 19:14, which assure us of Danni's peace: "Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.""
