George Donald “Don” Clapp, age 81, of Asheboro passed away on Friday, July 9, 2021. Mr. Clapp was born in Guilford County on August 25, 1939 to George and Mary Riley Clapp. Don moved to Asheboro in 1959 where he, along with his wife, ran Clapp’s Nursing Home. He was a founding member of the East Side Fire Department, serving as Fire Chief for two decades, and remained on the board for another two decades. Don was a former member of First E&R United Church of Christ where he served as a deacon. His hobbies include racing and farming and his favorite thing to do is ride the farm every day to check everything out. Don is a real family man, loves his community, and has never met a stranger. Everyone who knows Don knows that he is a character and he is also a straight shooter. He’ll give you an answer to any question you have, even if that’s not always what you want to hear. Don is survived by his sons, Eric Clapp of Seagrove, Keith R. Clapp of Seagrove, and Kevin W. Clapp (Lynn) of Seagrove; his daughters, Denise Clapp Campbell of Asheboro and Donna Clapp Crisco (Jeff) of Asheboro; 16 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; and his longtime girlfriend, Patie Styne of Asheboro.
