Charles “Louie” Luther
Daukei lived life by his
terms and made many memories
along the way. He never
stayed in one place too
long, but always considered
New Mexico his home. He was
considered a second father
to his nieces and nephews
and was a favorite brother
to his siblings. Louie was a
loving man, but also had a
wild side that would either
make you laugh or frustrate
you! Some may say that the
movie Urban Cowboy was
loosely based on his life.
For a man who didn’t have a
car, he sure got around.
Louie will be missed dearly,
but he can now lay his long
traveling feet to rest.
