Bradley Eugene Klapperich, 45, of Mercer, formerly of South Dakota, passed away Sunday, November 7, 2021, in his home.

Brad was born November 5, 1976, in Aberdeen, SD, a son of the late Thomas and Patricia (Clemensen) Klapperich. He received his GED in 1997 from the US Job Corps.

Currently, he was employed as a production technician at WoodCraft Manufacturing, Greenville.

Brad's hobbies included wood working, tinkering with anything that had an engine (cars, trucks, motorcycles), RC cars and raising dogs.  He was a very social person and loved meeting and talking to a variety of people.  He enjoyed sharing stories and laughing with others.  He was a genuine person, you always knew where you stood with him, and very kind hearted as he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed one.

He is survived by two brothers, Brent (Leah) Klapperich, of Salem, MO, and Brock (Sara) Klapperich, of Conde, SD; his companion, Demetria McNeish, of Mercer and his children Jessica (Dakota) Lee of York NE, Jamison (Raylynn) Reil of Redfield, SD, Tatum (Jesse) Honetschlarger of Watertown, SD, Victoria Klapperich of Rapid City, SD and Xander Klapperich of Watertown, SD.
