Grant, you're an amazing person and now you're an even incredible angel. Your life will always be remembered and lived on. You and your family mean a whole lot to me, and I struggle everyday to find a bit of happiness. But I know that you're just loving every bit of what you got right now and watching over everyone that loves you and who you grew close to. I love you Grant, please watch over me always.
Sawyer family, you are the most incredibly loving family I have ever met. Being even the slightest part of your family means the world to me. I hope that you find peace when live becomes hard and you think there might not be an end. Please know that there are people who would love to be there for you and always will be an extra shoulder to cry on. I love you guys.

Grant was the love of my life. He will remain in my heart for as long as I live. He was so special to me, and so was his family. Grant touched my world. And it's hard to face the fact that hes gone. I miss him more than words can say.

Sawyer Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. It breaks my heart. Grant was definitely one of the greatest guys I have ever met. He had the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen! I loved how his face would light up when he talked about all of you, he loved you all SO much. He loved talking about his nephews and neices too, always with a big smile on his face. I will never forget him. I will carry his memory with me always. He will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I love you Grant and I miss you every day <3

Well bud, your mind, body and spirit is at peace. I was so happy to.have shared in your young life so many years ago... You and your family forever changed my life. I pray that your mighty spirit of protection will cover your loving family's hearts.. Give them assurance of your happiness at the throne of God.. Comfort them now as they feel all too well the pain of your passing. You roared through this life with excitement and a yearning for freedom and passion so i pray that same spirit invades our hearts... Help your family to grab a hold of everything good in your spirit and flood this world with the same love they changed my life with. My heart longs for their happiness and understanding in both your passing and what it is that can be learned. I envy you for being with our heavenly father and being able to sing those angelic chorus's. Be with your family and thank you for bringing everyone together in love. Love you bud and look forward to meeting you at those pearly gates. :*)

Grant & Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot stop thinking about you guys since I have heard. I know Grant is in a better place now, with the Lord watching over all of us. Grant was my most cherished, best friend. He had a huge heart and you knew he really cared. His smile was so contagious. I know that he touched the lives of so many people, and his memories will live on. Grant would always call just to tell me how his life was going and what was new. He would always talk about his family and friends. I know his family meant so much to him. My heart aches for you, but may my thoughts and prayers be with you.

Grant Sawyer- I am going to miss you like crazy, words cannot explain. Please know that you were true to me and I thank you so much. My life will never be the same without you, but I know that I have the BEST angel watching over me. I Love You

Grant was a true friend. He was such a kind and lovable guy. I know he is walking with the Lord now looking down on all of us. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family!

Grant will be deeply missed. He was a wonderful young man; sweet, kind hearted, generous, and very loving. He always took time to chat when he stopped to visit our sons. We heard the love and appreciation for his family whenever he spoke about you. We distinctly remember numerous times he would be talking to you on the phone and he would always end the conversation with “I love you.” From talking with him, we know he was a believer; and we know he is walking with Jesus now; our hope is this will comfort you.
God bless you and keep you during this difficult time. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
