Dave Clapper Obituary
David “Dave” Clapper, of O’Fallon, MO, passed away Monday, March 17, 2025, at the age of 79. Beloved husband of Rebecca Clapper; cherished son of the late Alonzo and Leona Clapper.

Dave proudly served in the United States Army, demonstrating his dedication and commitment to his country. He shared 48 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Becky, building a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
