    I am so sorry for your loss. You don’t know me, but I was one of Grant’s roommates in Bellevue before he left back to Mississippi. Him and I were planning to be roommates again in Portland, OR just last month. I’m going to miss him a lot. He was one of my favorite people, and I speak well of him often when I tell stories to my friends and family of times up in Washington. I’m so sorry.

    Dearest Laurie and Dean, Your hearts are crushed and I can only imagine losing one of my children. I love you and your family very much. I'm so sorry. Please know in my heart I grieve for y'all but also for the loss of my cousin. I remember the night he was born and how Dean liked the name Grant that was one of our cousins husbands name. My arms are around y'all and I weep with y'all. Our grand Creator will be with you. Pray as you can. Revelations 3: 3&4 are verses that help me during loss. I know it will y'all too.

    You may not remember me, but my name is Nason. I played soccer with Grant my junior and senior years of high school in Brookhaven. A fun and great guy to be around. I hate that we lost him at such a young age. It’s not often that you meet a person that had such a wonderful and profound impact on your life. He will be missed.
    Rest well Grant. We will start a pickup game as soon as it’s my turn to head up to the big field in the sky. Don’t start without me!
