The morning Grant was born was the greatest day of our lives. He made us young parents who needed him more than anything else in this world. Growing up he was such a happy, smiling little boy with the sweetest little giggle. He loved to swim, fish, play baseball, football, even a basketball for a little bit. Grant loved the outdoors and also enjoyed bowling. He had a huge heart ♥️ and a strong work ethic. He loved to do whatever he could as a child and a young man to help others who needed him. He loved building things with his own two hands. Grant was a hard worker, loved his kids and would give his shirt off his back to help anyone. He loved his baby brother since the day he was born and he never stopped. We know he loved his kids so much; you could see it in everything he did and the smiles on his face.
We know we will be together again one day in Heaven with Gods forgiving Grace.
