Keith Robert Clapp

SEAGROVE — Keith Robert Clapp, age 55, of Seagrove, NC, departed this life at his home on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026.

Keith was born on Aug. 5, 1970, in Guilford County, to the late George Donald Clapp and Libby Rose Clapp.

Keith lived life with a full heart and an engine always running. He loved racing at Caraway Speedway, working on cars, and making sure things were done the right way — he wasn’t afraid to tell you what needed fixing, and he wanted it fixed right. 

He enjoyed deep sea fishing, spending time on the farm, and riding around with his best friend and longtime canine companion, Johnny.

Keith loved his family deeply — especially his children and grandchildren — and he showed it by being present. He rarely missed a ballgame and was known for being the loudest (and most opinionated) voice in the crowd, often getting a little too loud. 

He enjoyed sitting down to watch The Andy Griffith Show, grabbing coffee with friends, going on the annual family beach trip, and spending time in Fancy Gap, Virginia, a place he truly loved.

He is preceded in death by his parents, George and Libby Clapp.

He is survived by his children, Hayleigh Faulkner (Reid Faulkner), Jacob Clapp (Kayla), Amber Clapp, and Tito Clapp (Lileigh); grandchildren, Cameron Faulkner, Clara Faulkner, Crue Faulkner, Cohen Faulkner, and Bodie Chavez; siblings, Eric Clapp, Donna Crisco (Jeff Crisco), Denise Clapp-Campbell, and Kevin Clapp (Lynn Clapp); his significant other, Cindy Lowe; and several nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 5-9 p.m. for visitation at Pugh Funeral Home.

A Memorial Service will be held Thursday, Feb. 12, at 2 p.m. at Vintage Church, 650 W Academy St., Asheboro, with pastor Charles Moses officiating. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Ronald McDonald House.v
