Kevin Dapper, a resident of Salt Lake City and originally from Draper, Utah, has passed away, leaving behind a legacy of friendship, compassion, and generosity that touched countless lives. A devoted husband to Altee Ainsworth Dapper and blessed with a daughter. He was the co-owner of MyHealingWorks.com, Kevin was widely known not only for his professional work, but for the enormous heart he carried into every relationship.
Since news of his passing, an outpouring of love has flooded social media from friends, family, and those whose lives were changed by knowing him.
Mike Hardle, one of Kevin’s closest lifelong friends, shared a deeply personal tribute:
“Yesterday I lost one of my best and oldest friends, Kevin Dapper. Over 30 years of friendship through so many eras of life. He was the kind of friend who made life better in every way.
From junior high basketball, high school, missions, late-night Halo games, bowling, the gym, to watching him finally become a dad—Kevin was always there.
My big friend with the big laugh, big muscles, big truck, and the biggest heart. I love you, buddy. Peace out.”
Nick Peck also remembered Kevin’s powerful presence and kindness:
“The world lost a great one. Kevin was one of the most loving and caring people I’ve ever known. Larger than life in every way, his presence filled every room. My prayers go out to his family.
‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.’”
Julie Hansen reflected on Kevin’s quiet strength and compassion:
“We are heartbroken over Kevin’s passing. Even in his early twenties, he had a wisdom and empathy that many never reach. He once came to support my husband and me during a very painful time in our lives, and I will never forget his kindness. Our deepest condolences to his family.”
Those who knew Kevin remember him as a man of deep loyalty, humor, and integrity — someone who showed up for others in their hardest moments and celebrated them in their best. Whether through his work, his friendships, or his role as a husband and father, Kevin had a way of making people feel seen, supported, and valued.
Kevin Dapper will be remembered not just for what he did, but for who he was — a big-hearted, steadfast, and loving soul who made the world brighter for everyone lucky enough to know him. His memory will live on in the many lives he touched.
Kevin Dapper obituary and funeral arrangements will be made available by his family at a later date.
