Fiercely loyal son, brother, friend

Grant was a multi-disciplinary artist whose passions were painting and tattooing (@nightmare_tattoo). He worked tirelessly to make his dreams his reality. His incredible motivation was surpassed only by his extraordinary creativity and talent.
Some of our favorite memories of Grant are of his goofy antics and wicked, some would say warped, sense of humor. No one was more fun to be with than Grant. Whether he'd just shown up for Thanksgiving dinner wearing a silly wig or was eager to share the newest crazy video he'd found online, wherever Grant was, there was sure to be lots of laughter.
We miss Grant's energy and passion for life. He lived life big and to the fullest. He lives on in all the fellow artists he encouraged and inspired. He lives on his every piece of art he committed to skin or canvas. He lives on in every story shared about his big, generous, compassionate heart and hilarious sense of humor. He lives on every time someone says, "That reminds me of Grant" or "Grant would love this." We will keep saying his name and telling his stories every day, forever and ever.
Grant's legacy is his extraordinary artistic talent, his fierce loyalty and incredible kindness. Grant was a different type of person -- the best type of person. No one had a bigger, more loving heart. He was always going out of his way to help others and make connections. So many of his friends have shared stories about the wonderful impact Grant had on their lives in ways big and small. He is known for the immense support and encouragement to other artists pursuing their passions.
