3.24.2005 until the end of time......
* Funeral service begins at 4 p.m. on Monday, July 15th at Rivera Family Funeral Home followed by burial at Santa Fe Memorial Gardens.
Born on March 24th, 2005, Radlee David Daigle entered the world as a little firecracker. Rad was his nickname. He was an adorable little boy with long, blonde hair, a great smile, and trademark eyebrows. As a toddler, Radlee loved Legos, swords, Batman, snakes, and his big sister, LouLou.
He grew up as a Santa Fe kid and loved hot green chile. He completed his entire elementary education at Wood-Gormley Elementary, 7th grade at Milagro Middle School, half of his 8th grade year at St. Michael's before finishing up the year at Milagro Middle School. Rad enjoyed sports like football, basketball, baseball, and golf. He was looking forward to beginning high school at Santa Fe High this fall and maintained high hopes for excelling in an athletic activity.
Radlee was always upbeat and rarely backed down from a challenge. His brave spirit and witty sense of humor will always be remembered, cherished, and missed dearly by his friends and family. Radlee is survived by many including his parents, grandparents, lots of friends, and his two loving sisters, LouLou and Lily.
From dad:
"There are no words to express how much I miss you. I kept you on my sleeve as fathers do with their sons but now you are in my heart. I have let a piece of my heart go with you but kept just enough so that I may take breaths to remember you. Fourteen years is very short, your spirit will live with me and others until the end of time. You were the best thing I ever achieved in this world. A living reflection of myself but much better. I love you."
From mom:
"Dear Radlee, mamma knows how much you loved your body, life, and all of us. You remain in me always and me in you, my love. We all hold you up high, and will continually celebrate your magnificence. I will take good care of Lou Lou."

After going through some old photos I was reminded of Radlee again. He was the first real friend I made when i moved to New Mexico in 6th grade. He made me feel welcomed and gave me someone to talk to and have fun with. He was my rock when we started middle school, I always knew I still had a close friend to be around if I ever had trouble meeting more people. Every time I’m reminded of him I think of how much fun we had together; I’d think of the time he made me feel better about losing my first fight with a kid named Adrian, or the time we had gone fishing together, or when we repainted a pair of his shoes together. They were red and blue to prepare for the 4th of July. I miss you, Radlee I hope to reunite with you someday.

I can just see Radlee with his contagious smile traveling the halls of Wood Gormley, fun and laughter in the air when he was near. I loved his comfort creating in the art studio. Radlee was a joy to have in class. His sister, Lou Lou inspired us and I believe she planted an early seed in the power of expression with drawing, painting, sculpture and more.
It is hard to imagine this world without Radlee.
In times of great loss I revisit this quote on allowing our sorrow to flow forth with family, friends and community.
"How do you wear your grief these days? I wear it open, so the wind can fan the flames of love beneath it."
Holding you all very close.... always, mary olson/art teacher

Radlee, you will always be in our hearts! Ben will always remember hanging with you and your dad on the golf course, when you were small enough to ride in the little gear basket behind the seat on the golf cart. You grew into a thoughtful, caring, respectful, and charismatic young man, and that’s how you’ll always be remembered. Your spirit will shine on forever, Rad.

I can't began to express how much you are missed! I will always remember that sweet smile, how polite you were and the memories we made. We are so blessed that we got to know you, and your memory will live in our hearts forever.
"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"

I love you and miss you very much Radlee. You are a wonderful soul, so imaginative and smart and funny. We loved spending time at your mama’s house and you showed us everything wonderful about your family. Your love was big and loud and I will always remember your energy and spirit. I promise to be a good friend to your mama and take care of her too. All my love to the family, Noah was so honored to share his friendship. Thank you for sharing your boy with us.

I taught Radlee in kindergarten at Wood Gormley Elementary School, and have many fond memories of his interactions with his school mates during this time. Radlee had an easy going attitude, filled with lots of smiles and laughs. To me, his facial expressions revealed the essence of his life. Yes, he was a cutie in kindergarten! After viewing the photos in the gallery, it appears that this love of life continued as he grew older. I also remember how his older sister made sure Radlee was well taken care once he was dropped off at school, and how his mother and father worked together to support his educational success. May Radlee rest in peace, and may his gentle spirit touch the hearts of those who grieve his passing.

So incredibly sorry for your loss. I was Radlee's 7th Gr. Science teacher. He was a very bright young man with such an easy going positive attitude. Gone too soon.

RIP Radlee. Jacob sure did enjoy your company at school, and while playing football. My son often came home with stories that started with a giggle, and proceeded with “mom, today Radlee...”. My condolences go out to the entire family.

I met Radlee for the first time a few weeks ago and could say , a very handsome boy! I could surely see how athletic he was by his shot and dribbling skills. He was so kind! He will be missed and will change lives forever. I give my prayers to the family!

We knew Radlee for a short period when he would play football and baseball with our son Joaquin. We will always remember his love of sports and his smile when he was playing. Our deepest condolences to all his family.

How witty you were! Fear was something you didmt have. I remember us joking and trying to figure out card tricks together. We may or may not have lit fireworks, roadside, on Route 66. Ok we did. I love you forever. Tell Zoe hello from Mommy. You and her are in each others company now. Love you so much little guy. Love all of you very much. Always will.
