Daniel Edward Draper's Obituary
Daniel E. Draper, 58, of Crawfordville, FL, spread his wings and took his final flight on December 30, 2023. He was born on September 18, 1965, in Chicago, IL.
Danny was a modest and big-hearted individual. Quick-witted and clever, he had a nimble mind that allowed him to excel in his career and pursue his hobbies. With his trusty wrench and a dash of wit, he conquered the world of plumbing and building contracting. From fixing leaks to constructing marvels, he had a knack for turning drips into dreams. In his leisure time, Danny was an aviation enthusiast. Whether he was in the cockpit taking flight or in a garage putting together experimental aircraft with his friends, he found joy in all of it. Being able to spend time with friends and family over shared hobbies was something he cherished.
Danny will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his son, Craig Draper, and daughter-in-law, Heather Shiver. He is also survived by his prior spouse and lifelong friend, Sharron Chattin, as well as his brothers, Brian Draper and Michael Draper. Danny touched the lives of many with his kind and generous spirit and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Please join us as we honor and celebrate Danny's life on February 4, 2024. We will gather at the Wakulla Shrine Club from 2-4pm, located at 4141 Crawfordville Hwy, Crawfordville, FL 32327.
