I (Ira) was shocked to learn about Grant’s passing.
May you find great comfort in Jesus Christ who has conquered death. He is Lord of the dead and the living; all are alive to Him. He is the resurrection and the life.

Dear Kathy, Paul and Kaleb,
Grant will be missed by so many people. He’s at peace. No more worries, or feeling alone at times. He fought a hard fight. He won, he proved he could get back on his feet after that horrible accident. He loved his sons and step daughter and his family. Grant will be waiting for all of his loved ones and everyone will be together again. You and Paul are the best parents. Grant depended on you and you were always there by his side. All of the tears may vanish with time, but the memories and love for Grant will go on forever. Prayers go out for you, Paul and certainly Kaleb.
Love you friend,
Joyce Rowe

Dear Walt and Kathy,
I am so very sorry for your loss. He looks like such a beautiful, fun person. Looks like his dad, too, as I remember.
I’ll be thinking of both of you and your family and Grant’s family. How very sad.
Love,
Bobbie Carlson
Though we have not spoken in years my heart breaks for your family. We have so much history and memories. Looking at old photos of us growing up together bought a laugh and smile of old memories but tears and sadness because you are no longer here. My thoughts and prayers will be with your family I won’t need to pray for you because you are now with god in heaven. I will always look back at memories. You will never be forgotten. Dear Grant you are gone way to soon. 🙁
My condolences, thought, and prayers for the family.
Love always
