With unimaginable sorrow, we mourn the loss of Dawson Rapp, a bright and beloved 13-year-old boy who tragically passed away following a golf cart accident on Sunday afternoon, September 21, 2025, in Lincoln County, Kentucky.
The accident occurred on South Fishing Creek Road. Dawson, a passenger in the cart, was taken to the hospital with critical injuries and sadly did not survive. The Lincoln County Coroner confirmed Dawson’s passing, and the case remains under investigation.
Dawson was a 7th grade student at Lincoln County Middle School, where he was known for his kind heart, joyful spirit, and the light he brought into every room. He had a smile that could lift others and a gentle soul that made him a friend to many.
He loved life, his family, and his friends, and he lived with a curiosity and energy that made every day an adventure. Though his time with us was far too short, his impact was deep and lasting. He will be remembered for his laughter, his warmth, and the love he gave so freely.
As we grieve, we hold Dawson’s family, classmates, teachers, and friends in our hearts. This tragic loss is felt deeply across the entire community. May we surround one another with compassion, strength, and support in the days ahead.
Rest peacefully, sweet Dawson. You will forever be missed, never forgotten, and always loved.
