I did not know Grant personally, but it is obvious what an outstanding young Christian man he was! This entire tragedy has touched many hearts, and I feel certain that many lives have been changed for the better, not only because of who, and Whose, Grant was but also His Mom’s and Dad’s witness. God bless your entire family as you walk together on this journey.
