Granger Norwood Vester

Georgia - Granger Norwood Vester was born to Norman and Nancy (Norwood) Vester in Springfield, Massachusetts on February 25, 1960. He passed away on March 9, 2025, after a well fought battle with cancer. His loving wife, Sara Nye Vester attended to his every need with grace and dignity in his final days, and his many devoted friends and family were by his side.
Granger died at home, the place he loved as much as the fields, woods, the mountains, and the lake and sea. Oh, and his garage! He was an avid hunter and fisherman, a hard worker, a craftsman, jack of all trades, and an honorable and trusted husband, brother, uncle, son, and friend.
He is survived by his wife Sara of 35 years, his mother, Nancy Norwood Vester, his siblings, Vaughn Vester, Heidi Silman (Joshua), Gretchen Maskell (Greg), Ric Nye, Jill Martin (Ron) his nieces and nephews Brooke Grisgraber (Fred), Benjamin Bombard (Jessica), Sadie Waskow (Alex), Sam Bombard (Holly), Eli Silman, Calypso Martin, Levi Martin, Ryan Maskell (Brandi), Kyle Maskell (Sadie), Aristotle Nye, Jordana Bronson, Lexi Aaron, as well as his cousins, Nancy, Deborah, Guy, and Jennifer Norwood, and many great nieces and nephews.
Granger was predeceased by his fathers, Norman Rohde Vester Jr., and Eric Nye, Sr., and his brother, Norman Rohde Vester III (Rohde), and his mother-in-law, Pauline Cline Nye.
