A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF DEACON JESSE WRAPP OF GREENWOOD COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS LARGE AND LOVING FAMILY AND HIS MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Deacon Jesse Wrapp at the age of ninety on Wednesday, February 5, 2020; and

Whereas, born in Greenwood County on June 24, 1929, he was the son of the late Eugenia Rapp, and he and his twin sister, Carrie, were the third and fourth of six children born to her; and

Whereas, at an early age, Mr. Wrapp joined Second Damascus Baptist Church where, as a faithful member, he served as Sunday school superintendent and was recently serving as chairman of the deacon board; and

Whereas, in the patriotic tradition of sons of the Palmetto State, he joined the United States Army at the age of eighteen and served with distinction for three years during the Korean War; and

Whereas, in 1954, he became an employee at the Harris Plant of Greenwood Mills and remained there for thirty-eight years. He also provided custodial services at Harris Baptist Church for over fifty years; and

Whereas, he married his beloved wife, June Carroll Wrapp, in 1953, and together they reared fine children: Jesse Anthony Wrapp and Stanley Wrapp of Greenwood; and Sandra Harris of Stockbridge, Georgia; and Jimmy Holloway of Charlotte, North Carolina. His children blessed him with the affection of four loving grandchildren; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for the life and legacy of Jesse Wrapp and for the example of service and kindness he set for all who knew him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Deacon Jesse Wrapp of Greenwood County and extend their deepest sympathy to his large and loving family and his many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Deacon Jesse Wrapp.
