GRANT KAEGI

GRANT KAEGI  It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Grant Kaegi at the age of 69. Grant passed away peacefully at home after a long battle with COPD. Grant was a loving husband, devoted dad and grandpa, a passionate nature enthusiast, and a loyal friend to all who knew him.  His greatest joy came from spending time with his family. He had a great ability to make everyone smile and his sense of humor will be missed. He loved to teach others how to find wonder in the world around them. A lover of the great outdoors, Grant hiked many mountains and enjoyed his time working on the landscape in his yard. Grant was passionate about giving back and donating his time to a variety of organizations including the Boy Scouts of America. Grant also had a true love for live music and enjoyed many concerts with his family and friends.  Grant is survived by his wife of 43 years, Tami Kaegi, his children Megan (Patrick) Leiker, John (Amanda) Kaegi, and Rachel (Daniel) Green and his nine grandchildren, Edison, Charlotte, Pierce, Kennedi, Lincoln, Kaden, Lucy, Sloan and Emilia. He is also survived by his sisters Gail (Greg) Haywood-Tucker and Chris (William) Kaegi-Stephens. He is preceded in death by his parents, Gial and Marge Kaegi and nephew, Kyle Clark Haywood. His memory will live on through the lessons he taught us about love, humility, resilience, and the importance of appreciating life's simple pleasures.  In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to The Arbor Day Foundation in Grant's name. Rest in peace, Grant. You will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
