Michael James Daniot

In the fair city of Detroit, where we lay our scene, Michael James Daniot, known to kin and comrade as Mike, hath taken his leave from this mortal coil on the fourteenth day of January in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-five. Born under the waning autumn leaves of 1962, Mike was a soul of mirth and vigor, whose life's journey began and concluded in the very bosom of Detroit, Michigan.
A man of robust spirit and hearty laughter, Mike was a beacon of light to all who crossed his path. With a quick wit and a generous heart, he traversed the avenues of existence, leaving an enduring mark upon the tapestry of many a life. His days were spent as a steadfast subcontractor in the realm of home security, a vocation through which he ensured the safety and peace of his fellow citizens.
Mike's earthly education was earned at the school of hard knocks, where he gleaned wisdom not from tomes and scrolls, but from the very essence of life's trials and triumphs. His was a mind ever eager for knowledge, and he pursued his passions with hustle. The waters knew him as a master of boats, the wilderness as a companion in camping, and the roar of engines as a brother in motorsports.
In the quietude of his own abode, Mike found solace in the turn of pages, the flicker of the silver screen, and the camaraderie found in a deck of cards. His love for the fairer sex was matched only by his love for laughter and the joy of turning strangers into steadfast friends.
Mike's legacy is carried forth by his beloved progeny: daughter Lisa Daniot, son Ignasio, known affectionately as Danny, and stepdaughter Laurice Goodman. Each, a living testament to Mike's boundless love and the unyielding support he bestowed upon them.
In the hearts of those he cherished, Mike was celebrated as a man of humor, a soul of boundless generosity, and hands skilled in the art of repair and collection. He was a man who lived not for himself, but for the joy and betterment of those around him. To know Mike was to know the embodiment of life's true riches.
As we bid farewell to Michael James Daniot, let us not don garments of sorrow, but rather don the cloak of gratitude. For his was a life that taught us to seize each day with fervor, to laugh in the face of adversity, and to extend our hands in friendship to all.
Mike's tale is one not of finality, but of enduring spirit. Though his voice is stilled, his laughter echoes through the annals of time, and his essence remains a guiding star to those fortunate enough to have basked in his presence. We commend thee, dear Mike, to the ages, and hold fast to the love and memories thou hast gifted us.
Let us then, with a gentle heart and a fond remembrance, release our beloved Mike unto the realm of everlasting peace, where the toils of this world are no more, and the soul's voyage is serene. Rest thee well, Mike, until we meet again in yonder celestial shores.
A Celebration of Life will be held 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at Grace Memorial, Clinton Twp. with 2:00 p.m. visiting. www.gracemem.com To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Michael, please visit our floral store.
