David LaMoine Rapp
June 29, 1958 – November 1, 2025

David LaMoine Rapp passed away unexpectedly on November 1, 2025, at the age of 67. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, on June 29, 1958, David was a man of quiet strength, quick wit, and deep love for his family.

He was predeceased by his parents, Earl Lamoine Rapp and Shirley (Bradley) Rapp. David will be lovingly remembered by his children Ashley Miller (Dave), Elijah Rapp, and Kristin Ellefritz (Robbie); and his grandchildren Isla Rose Miller, Malachi Rapp, Gavin Jansen, Sidney Seckman, Jaxon Ellefritz, and Laaken Ellefritz—each of whom brought him immense joy and pride.

He is also survived by his sisters Karyn Buxman Godek and Susan Rapp, and his brother John Rapp; nieces Gisella Rapp-Defriese and Lupe Rapp-Defriese; and nephews Moises Rapp-Defriese, Victor Rapp-Defriese, David Buxman, and Adam Buxman.

David graduated from Hannibal High School in 1976 and went on to attend the University of Missouri, Columbia. He later became a certified electrician and worked for many years at American Cyanamid and McDonnell Douglas/Boeing, where he was respected for his skill and dedication.

Outside of work, David’s passions were simple but deeply felt. He loved his family, found joy in music, and remained a lifelong fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. Whether he was sharing a laugh, a story, or a song, David’s easy humor and kind heart left a lasting imprint on everyone who knew him.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to FeedingAmerica.org, honoring David’s generous spirit and his desire to help those in need.
