Michael Nappa will be missed by those who loved him for their remaining lifetime. His charismatic and infectious ambition for fun, love, business, and adventure was one of the many attributes that made him such a sought-after friend and family member to spend time with, learn from, and be loved by.


His loyalty and unwavering dedication to the love of his life, Leila Peyton Nappa, was admirable. This November 11th, 2024 would have marked 52 years of marriage between the two.


Michael was a wise, daring, and hardworking man whose endeavors ranged from: partnering with his brothers in the printing industry (Congraf, Needham Ma), dealer at the Craps Table, Professional Craps player, Pit Boss, to other entrepreneurial endeavors such as Silverline Tours out of the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. He was dedicated and always wanted to help people. He worked with the Government and Hualapai Indians to bring tours to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon on the Hualapai Indian Reservation and created one of Las Vegas' first car rental enterprises on the Strip.


Michael was awarded the Governor Bob Miller Development Award for Mike Nappa's Silverline Tours in 1990-1991. This company's growth and success were amazing, but equal to that was the respect and trust Mike established with Native American Leaders as they allowed Silverline Tour Company greater access to their lands.


Michael was born in Boston's Beachmont Revere to his parents, Michelina and Gus Nappa, brother to Carmen and Frank Nappa, father to his daughter Michele Nappa. Beloved uncle, cousin, friend and to anyone lucky enough to know him... a Legend. "Here's to it and to it again once you get to it if you don't do it, you may never get to it to do it again." -Salute. Please visit Michael, his family, and his friends on his virtual page where we can all commemorate him forever. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564615812250&mibextid=LQQJ4d
