Obituary for George Daniel Dapper
George Daniel Dapper, age 41, died unexpectedly in Austin, TX on Tuesday December 17, 2020 from a heart attack.
George was born in Edison, New Jersey on April 23, 1979 to Joanne and George Dapper. He graduated from Wardlaw-Hartridge High School and continued on to receive a degree in Finance from Arizona State University.
George was a spiritual young man, and described as always uplifting and always smiling, a kind hearted friend and always able to put a smile on someone’s face. His smile lit up the room. As a kind friend said, there is no aura or energy that can possibly match the mood he inspired in every room he inhabited. He was always a leader, on and off the field. He was able to connect with many as a team mate, coworker, confidant, and devoted friend.
George was an avid sports lover, and participated in many intramural teams, as well as being a devoted New York Yankees and San Francisco 49ers fan. He had a passion for travel and had lived throughout the US.
The world is a less meaningful place, containing less good humor, fewer moments of greatness with George’s passing. He was a beloved son and brother. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.
He is survived by Joanne Dapper, mother and Carli Joy Dapper, sister.
He is preceded in death by George I. Dapper, father.
Viewing will be held Tuesday, December 29, 2020 at O’Brien Funeral Home 2028, Hwy 35, Wall, NJ from 2-5pm. A Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, December 30th at 10:30am at Sacred Heart RC Church Bay Head, NJ followed by burial at Greenwood Cemetery Brielle, NJ.
