Grant was a loving husband for 16 years to Karin, whom he met in college and with whom he had two beautiful, loving, fun, children. More than anything, Grant was a proud and loving father to his two boys: Rex, 14 and Chase, 11. He found his greatest happiness in being with them on their annual trips to various MLB stadiums, watching sporting events together, trying new barbeque places, and watching them grow. His love, guidance, and fandom as a loud and proud Jaysker will live on through them.
