Michael Anthony Lanouette, 64, of Hamden, passed away peacefully on May 8th, 2023 at the Houston Methodist Hospital, Texas with his loving family by his side. He was the beloved husband of 29 years to Angel Conte Lanouette. They were together 40 years since Angel was 19 years old true soul mates in life. Michael was born in New Haven on November 9, 1958 and was the son of Regina Lanouette and the late Edward J. Lanouette, Jr. and the late Lucille G. Ardolino Lanouette. A graduate of West Haven High School, Michael was a dedicated and loyal supervisor at the FJ Dahill Company, Inc. for the past 45 years. In 2003, Michael became the Co-owner of Dahill Energy Systems. He also was a proud business owner of Art’s French Fries, The Dough House, and World’s Best Sundae, attending fairs since 1990. He enjoyed taking long walks in the neighborhood, was an avid reader, and was a big believer in the power of conversation. Michael enjoyed spending many family vacations at his favorite place, Walt Disney World, in Florida. He was a devoted parishioner of St. Paul VI Parish/Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Hamden where he served on the parish council. His faith in God was unwavering, and he drew on that source of strength his entire life. Michael was the epitome of a family man. His family was his world, and he made that evident throughout his life. He put everyone before himself and never thought twice about it. Michael will forever be known as the kindest, generous, most loving man who touched the lives of many. His most virtuous quality was his humility, he gave without pause and that was his gift to humanity throughout his life.

Angel, Reggie and Family – there are no words to express this loss. Michael was such a friend and comfort during my darkest hours. Stephen thought the world of Michael and vise versa. All of The Lanouette Family holds a special place in my heart. Find comfort in your faith and those that love you. With heartfelt sympathy I love you all. Michael my friend Rest In Peace-Roberta
Reggie sorry for your loss
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family
May the perpetual light shine upon him
This is a heavy hit to me. I will always cherish the times I had making trips to your residence for “on site computer repairs” just to end up having deep conversations with Michael between a huge bag of pistachios. He will be missed dearly by many.
My sincerest prayers of comfort and love goes out to you and your family.
Angel and your lovely family; Paul and I are totally heartbroken to hear of the loss of Michael; a finer gentleman not to be found. We feel so lucky to have been a very small part of his beautiful life. His kindness, understanding and spiritual manner touched out lives beyond words. We hope somehow you can find some comfort knowing he is safely home in our loving Savior’s arms now, free from pain or harm. Blessings, peace and mostly love from two very honored friends, Peggy Limosani and son, Paul Tosetti. We are here for you always. God Bless!!!
My sympathy to Michael’s family. May fond memories sustain you during this difficult time.
My deepest sympathies for Angel, Alexa, Arianna, Michael III, Aunt Reggie, and all the family grieving this terrible loss right now. My cousin Michael was a big hearted man who adored his family and was a genuine person. He will be missed and remembered as a loving family man. I regret that I am unable to attend the services. Michael may have left this life, but he is with the Angels now and in a much better place. I will remember him and all his loved ones in my prayers.
My deepest sympathies to Michael’s family. My prayers are with you.
