Grant E. Moraga, 21

November 17, 2017

Grant E. Moraga, 21, passed away on Friday, November 17, 2017 surrounded by his loving family and friends at Lancaster General Hospital after a courageous battle against Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
Born on October 22, 1996 he was much loved and wanted. Grant was the son of Dr. Richard A. Moraga and Alice A. (Modzelewski) Moraga. He brought them much joy!
Grant was a 2015 graduate of Warwick High School. He was a New York Yankees Fan and enjoyed listening to music. Occasionally, Grant was known for over-cooking his food and smoking up the house. Most of all, Grant enjoyed smoking on the porch and playing video games with his brother.
In addition to his loving parents, Grant is survived by his much loved and adored little brother, Micah Moraga, grandparents; Victor and Marie Romero, tons of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, and his God-Mother; Mary-Lynn Lavender. Grant was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents; Edward and Mary Modzelewski.
A service celebrating the life of Grant will be held on Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 1PM at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. A visitation will be held at the funeral home on Saturday from 11AM-1PM. Interment will be held privately and at the convenience of the family.
Per Mom’s request, wearing a favorite hoodie is required attire. For those who smoke, smoke a Newport in honor of Grant!

Dear Moraga family,
I am so heart-broken to hear of Grant’s death.  In my classroom, Grant demonstrated such intelligence, patience, and kindness.  Praying for healing and strength for all of you in such a difficult time with two profound losses in your family.

To the family of Grant E. Moraga.
It saddened me to hear about the death of Grant. I am truly sorry for the loss and pained that the family and friends are feeling because of Grant recently in death, way too soon. I offer my deepest condolences. It’s never easy to bury those closest to us. The distance enhances all the memories.  This scripture at Revelation 21:4 -“ And he wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I hope it offer the family and friends comfort. 
-O. Hicks
