Grant’s joy for life, love for the Lord, determination, and kind heart will be remembered by so many friends and family who loved him.

What a wonderful friend Grant was to all of us at OBU@NLC. I don’t know that he stopped smiling once the entire two years we were there together. No matter what came our way, Grant was a continual source of joy, laughter, and encouragement to his peers. He will truly be missed in the here and now of earth, but I cannot wait to see him smiling again in Paradise. Love you, my friend.
SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS, ALLEN.
