Grant, the news is incredibly surprising and feels unreal. It brings me profound sadness to convey this message. Your absence will be deeply felt, and I will fondly remember our collaborations, especially reaching out to you for UI-related matters. Your dedication, even working through weekends to resolve bugs, was truly commendable. Rest in peace, my dear friend and colleague. I am grateful to have known you in this lifetime.

Grant, you made my day at work more fun. It was refreshing to find someone alike. I remember laughing so hard like never before at our jokes. I also remember enjoying reading all your witty quotes. To me, you were a friend, a brother and a great colleague. I'm sorry to see you go man so unexpectedly. May God bless your family during this hard time. May you rest in peace in the presence of the almighty for ever.

Strength & Honor

Grant, you were awesome. Everyone held you on high at work, an ironclad who would work himself to the bone. I will always remember our back-n-forths with movie quotes, it brings a smile to my face just thinking about it, you were always on point! I want to teach my kids to have ethics and drive like you had. This is too soon... I truly hope you have found peace after a hell of a year. Already missing opportunities to chat with you, RIP Grant, hope to see you again someday.
