Corey M. Daigle, a longtime member of the Fort Kent, Maine, community and former president of the Fort Kent Lions Club, has died.
St. John Vianney Parish in Fort Kent confirmed his passing in its current parish news and remembrance listings, identifying him as “Corey Daigle — Fort Kent (1984–2026).”
Daigle was well known locally through his involvement with the Fort Kent Lions Club. Official Lions Clubs International records show that he served as president of the organization during the 2016–2017 Lions year, reflecting a documented commitment to community service and local leadership.
At the time of publication, however, a complete family-authorized obituary had not been located, and his exact date of death, cause of death and funeral arrangements had not been publicly detailed through authoritative sources.
St. John Vianney Parish Confirms Corey Daigle’s Death
The clearest current confirmation of Corey Daigle’s passing comes from St. John Vianney Parish, which serves the Fort Kent area.
The parish’s current news page includes a remembrance notice identifying:
Corey Daigle — Fort Kent (1984–2026).
The same notice also appears prominently on the parish homepage among recent community announcements.
This provides direct local confirmation that a Corey Daigle connected to the Fort Kent community died in 2026.
Corey Daigle’s Exact Age Requires Caution
The parish lists Corey Daigle’s life years as 1984–2026.
That means he was approximately 41 or 42 at the time of his death, depending on whether his birthday had occurred before his passing.
Because an authoritative full obituary providing his complete date of birth and exact date of death had not yet been located, it is more accurate to avoid stating a precise age until those details are confirmed.
Corey Daigle’s Cause of Death Has Not Been Publicly Disclosed
No reliable source reviewed for this article has announced a specific cause of death for Corey Daigle.
There is currently no verified public information establishing that his death resulted from:
- An illness.
- An accident.
- A medical emergency.
- An occupational incident.
- Any other specific circumstance.
The parish remembrance confirms his death but does not provide medical information.
For that reason, any claims circulating online about how Corey died should be treated as unverified unless his family, a funeral home or another authorized source provides further information.
Corey Daigle Served as President of the Fort Kent Lions Club
Corey’s connection to community service is independently documented through Lions Clubs International.
An official Lions Clubs International officers list for 2016–2017 identifies Corey M. Daigle as Club President of the Fort Kent Lions Club.
The same record identifies the Fort Kent chapter as Lions Club No. 13680, chartered in 1938.
Corey’s presidency placed him in a leadership position within one of Fort Kent’s longstanding civic organizations.
Fort Kent Lions Club Has a Long Community-Service Tradition
The Fort Kent Lions Club remains an active service organization within northern Maine.
The club continues to participate in and support local community activities, including sponsorship of regional events.
Recent Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Race materials list the Fort Kent Lions Club among community sponsors, while Fort Kent’s 2026 Logger Fest also lists the organization as a supporter.
Corey’s earlier leadership role therefore connected him with an organization that continues to contribute to the social and civic life of the St. John Valley.
A Documented History of Community Leadership
Serving as Lions Club president involves more than carrying a title.
Local Lions chapters traditionally organize charitable projects, fundraising activities and community programs while supporting the broader humanitarian mission of Lions Clubs International.
The official 2016–2017 leadership roster shows Corey working alongside other Fort Kent officers including Justin Soucy, Michael Collins, Craig Caron, Lance Morin and Lloyd Soucie.
That record provides a snapshot of Corey’s involvement in community leadership nearly a decade before his death.
Corey Had Longstanding Ties to Fort Kent
Public records establish Corey Daigle’s connection to Fort Kent well before his Lions Club presidency.
A 2009 Bangor Daily News obituary for Dale Core identified Corey Daigle of Fort Kent as the husband of Dale’s daughter, Andrea, noting that the couple had recently married at that time.
That historical reference shows that Corey had established family ties in Fort Kent by at least 2009.
Because the current parish death notice does not provide a complete family listing, however, older records should not be used to assume the present status of every family relationship.
Faith Community Remembers Corey
The inclusion of Corey’s name in St. John Vianney Parish’s remembrance announcements also demonstrates his connection to Fort Kent’s Catholic community.
St. John Vianney Parish serves Catholics across the greater Fort Kent area and regularly publishes notices for deceased members of the communities it serves.
Its current remembrance for Corey is brief but significant, marking his life as extending from 1984 to 2026.
For friends and fellow parishioners, the listing provides a public acknowledgment of the loss while fuller memorial information may still be forthcoming.
Fort Kent Is a Community Built Around Local Connections
Fort Kent is a relatively small northern Maine community where civic organizations, churches, businesses and family networks are often closely intertwined.
In communities of this size, people who volunteer through organizations such as the Lions Club frequently become familiar beyond their immediate social circles.
A former club president may have interacted with residents through fundraisers, community events, charitable projects and other local activities.
Corey’s documented service therefore forms an important part of the public record of his life.
Community Service Forms Part of Corey Daigle’s Legacy
The most clearly documented aspect of Corey’s public life is his service through the Fort Kent Lions Club.
His presidency during 2016–2017 demonstrates that fellow members trusted him with leadership responsibility.
Such positions usually require organizing meetings, coordinating members, supporting service projects and representing the club within the community.
Although a full obituary may eventually reveal additional accomplishments, his Lions Club service already offers a meaningful picture of someone engaged with the place he called home.
Complete Family Obituary Has Not Yet Been Located
At the time this article was prepared, searches had not located a detailed current funeral-home obituary for Corey M. Daigle of Fort Kent.
As a result, several personal details remain unavailable or incomplete.
These include:
- His complete surviving family.
- His occupation at the time of death.
- Educational history.
- Personal hobbies and interests.
- The exact date of his passing.
- Funeral and burial arrangements.
Those details should come from Corey’s family or the funeral provider responsible for his services rather than being reconstructed from unrelated databases.
Funeral Arrangements Have Not Been Publicly Confirmed
No authoritative public announcement reviewed for this article provided current visitation, funeral Mass, memorial-service or burial information.
St. John Vianney Parish currently confirms Corey’s death but does not provide service details in the publicly indexed remembrance notice.
Family members may release those arrangements separately.
Anyone hoping to attend a service, send flowers or make a memorial contribution should rely on an official funeral-home notice, parish announcement or information shared directly by Corey’s family.
Respecting Corey Daigle’s Family
The period immediately following a death can be difficult for relatives.
Family members may still be notifying loved ones, preparing funeral arrangements and deciding how much personal information to make public.
That is particularly important regarding Corey’s cause of death.
Unless his family chooses to provide those details, speculation should be avoided.
His documented years of community service offer a more appropriate focus for remembrance.
Remembered Through Service Rather Than Circumstances of Death
An obituary should represent more than the final circumstances of a person’s life.
For Corey Daigle, the available public record shows someone connected to Fort Kent through family, faith and community service.
His tenure as president of the Fort Kent Lions Club provides concrete evidence of his willingness to participate in local civic life.
That record deserves greater emphasis than unanswered questions surrounding his death.

Fort Kent Community Remembers Corey Daigle
Corey Daigle’s death marks the loss of a relatively young member of the Fort Kent community whose history includes documented civic leadership.
From his family ties in northern Maine to his service as president of the Fort Kent Lions Club, Corey became part of the network of people who contribute their time to keeping a small community connected.
The parish notice remembering him may be brief, but the years between 1984 and 2026 contain relationships, friendships and experiences far beyond what can be summarized in a public record.
For fellow Lions, parish members, relatives and friends, those memories will ultimately form the most meaningful account of Corey’s life.
As additional obituary and funeral information becomes available, it may provide a fuller picture of the man Fort Kent is now mourning.

This report is based primarily on St. John Vianney Parish’s current remembrance notice confirming the death of Corey Daigle of Fort Kent (1984–2026) and official Lions Clubs International records identifying Corey M. Daigle as President of the Fort Kent Lions Club during 2016–2017.
