Joshua P. Dansicker, 21, St. Mary's College student
Services for Joshua P. Dansicker, a senior at St. Mary's College of Maryland who was killed in an automobile accident Sunday, will be held at 10 a.m. today at Eline Funeral Home, 11824 Reisterstown Road in Reisterstown.
Mr. Dansicker, 21, of Reisterstown was majoring in anthropology and sociology.
Born in Baltimore and raised in Reisterstown, he was a 1993 graduate of St. Paul's School in Brooklandville, where he was remembered yesterday by the Rev. Donald P. Roberts, Episcopal chaplain at the school, for his "intense exuberance and zest for life."
He played football and basketball and was a member of the Upper School Vestry at St. Paul's, where a memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday in the school chapel.
Mr. Dansicker, who played guitar and performed in several rock 'n' roll and jazz bands, was undecided about what he wanted to do after he graduated from college.
"He had an interest in history and last year worked at the Piney Point Lighthouse as a guide," said his mother, Mary Dansicker of Reisterstown. "He hoped that it would lead to a job with the Smithsonian."
Recently, during school vacations, he worked with his father, Arnold Dansicker, in the family business, Cox Auto Parts in Dundalk.
He enjoyed sailing and swimming and was a "real river rat," according to his mother. He was active in Sons of the American Legion Post 116 in Reisterstown.
He also is survived by a brother, Jonathan "Skeets" Dansicker of Reisterstown; his paternal grandparents, Stanley and Shirley Dansicker of Owings Mills; his maternal grandmother, Mary C. Simmers of Reisterstown; and aunts, uncles and cousins.
Memorial donations may be sent to St. Paul School Development Office, P.O. Box 8100, Brooklandville 21022-8100.
