Daniel was born on April 16, 1953, to Roland and Marie (Dube) Larochelle in Lewiston, and was educated in Lewiston schools.

An avid hockey player and motorcyclist, Daniel loved playing goalie and riding his Harley Davidson. He also had a passion for theology and psychology.

Daniel is survived by his wife, Liberty Larochelle; both of his children; grandson, Mayson Larochelle; sisters and brothers Rachel Larochelle Olds, William Larochelle and Carol Larochelle Bilodeau; several nieces and nephews; and a large extended family in Australia.
