David Sapp Obituary
He was born June 8, 1950, in Keokuk, the son of Charles and Grace (Varner) Sapp.
He graduated from Keokuk High School with the class of 1968.
On March 5, 1977, David was united in marriage with Yvonne Allison. She survives.
In his early years, David had been employed at Ideal Ready Mix. He then was the owner of the Ten Pin Bowl and later the Arrowhead Bowl, until his retirement in 2015. He had also owned and operated the Lee County Speedway for six years.
David's favorite hobbies were bowling and NASCAR racing. Most of all, his grandchildren were the light of his life and he enjoyed attending all the sporting events that they participated in.
He is also survived by one son Derek Sapp and his wife Corrin of Hamilton, Illinois; and six grandchildren: Allison Sapp, Josephine "Josie" Sapp, Makenzie "Kenzie" Sapp, Kallie Harmon, Brodie Edwards, and Abbie Gunning. Other survivors include three brothers, Roy Sapp and his wife Pam of Keokuk, Melvin Sapp of Keokuk, and Charles Sapp of Edmond, Olahoma; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by several siblings: Betty Boyer, Rolene Fenton, Esther Kehler, Mary Moellerif, Ruth Gooding, Lewis Sapp, James Sapp, and Bob Sapp. He was also preceded in death by two sisters, and one brother in infancy.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
