John Grandon Obituary
John was born on June 9, 1940, in Hundred, West Virginia, to the late Glen Edward Grandon and Virginia Lee Main Grandon. He grew up in Charleston, graduating from Charleston High School, Class of 1958, where he helped plan class reunions for the 1950's classes.
John loved sports. He was the place kicker for the Charleston High School football team, played catcher on the Marshall University baseball team, played golf on the Dupont Chemical plant's golf league, played softball for his church league team, coached the basketball and baseball teams that his children played on, refereed high school football for the WVSSAC for over 35 years, worked the finish-line at the Charleston Distance Run for decades, and was a season ticket holder for WVU football for more than 40 years.
John was also a hard worker. In his high school years, he would deliver newspapers, and then as a father, helped his children do a Sunday paper delivery route. His career was with the Dupont Chemical Company, retiring from the Belle plant.
John was blessed to meet the "love of his life" - Sharon "Bunny" Eads -to whom he was joined in marriage on January 24, 1959, and enjoyed 57 anniversaries with her.
John was preceded in death by his parents, Glen Grandon and Virginia Grandon; and his beloved wife, Sharon "Bunny" Grandon. He is survived by his children: Mark Grandon, Kim Heath (Ron), and Mike Grandon (Shelley); grandchildren: Joshua (Brittany), Lindsey, Dylan, Haley, and Colin; great grandchildren: Alex, Bentley, Anthony, James, Piper, and Brooklyn; and his faithful, furry companion, Luci.
A Service to Honor the Life of John will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 19, 2025, at Snodgrass Funeral Home, with Rev. Cindy Briggs-Biondi officiating and Rev. Monty Brown bringing the eulogy. Family and friends may visit one hour prior to the service.

Dear Grandon Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I met and got to know John while working as a Sales Rep for O´Neal Steel and calling on the Belle plant. John was always willing to see me to discuss business. He was very helpful in getting our company set up as a vendor for DuPont. It was a pleasure to get to know him. He lived a wonderful life giving a lot to a vast number of people. Cherish the blessed memories of John.
Respectfully/Sincerely ....
