John R. LaGrant, Jr.

On Tuesday, December 22, 2020, John R. LaGrant, Jr, loving husband and father of two daughters, passed away at age 77.

John was born on June 28, 1943, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, to John and Lillian LaGrant. After graduating from Henry Ford High School in 1961, he joined the navy as an Aircraft Carrier Shooter before the Vietnam War. On June 29, 1967, he married his bride of 53 years, Sandra. They raised two beautiful daughters, Beth and Amy.

His life's work was to provide for his family. He spent 40 years inspiring, motivating, and supporting the hundreds of people he managed. John had a passion for all that was outdoors. He loved to fish, hunt, and play golf. For the last ten years of his life, he suffered from Lewy Bodies dementia. Even during the disease, John's wit, infectious smile, and kind and compassionate spirit never faltered.

John was preceded in death by his father, John, his mother, Lillian, and his sister, Susan. He is survived by his wife Sandra, his two daughters, Beth and Amy, his sister Wendy and her wife Megan, his nephew, Jeff and his wife Katie, and many dear friends.

Services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Alzheimer's Association in his memory.
