Donald Grant Obituary

I didn't see it at the time as a kid growing up with the Racquet Club crew, but looking back I realize Donnie had a big heart and would go out of his way to include EVERYONE in the group. A rare attribute for someone that age. He will be missed! Grant family - my prayers are for you.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Donnie passing on. Don as I called him, was a gentle soul. He was the first I met at Aud. I remember playing soccer at recess, I knew nothing about soccer, well ball went out of bounds, I thru it in the "mix" like a football. Of course everyone fell down laughing, doh I was from western KS, but Don looked down and grinned and said hey man that's a "sick bird" throw in. I looked at him and thought what? Then he grinned again and said ill-eagle. To this day if I hear sick bird or well illegal I always pictured Don in my mind. Donnie was always a good sport, if he won or lost he just was never mean. Another great memory is as the Aud. Toros I was goalie and it was windy as hell, we were down 10-1 at half , I told Donnie and Phil we only need 11 to win, since wind was on our side. Don said np just 11, and grinned. Well we/ he covered that.
I don't know the why or how's but a man with character lives forever, Donnie had plenty. We all meet in the end. Way too young, peace my friend. I picked a star in heaven so when I look up, I see your brilliance shining down.

Dear Grant family I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Donnie. We were always buds growing up at the raquet club. My heart goes out to you.

With Deepest Sympathy. I am so sad to hear of Donnie's passing. He truly was one of a kind. His laughter and presence made everyone feel welcome and glad to be there. He was a great sportsman who appreciated and loved the games as well as having fun playing them. As all of you know he will be deeply missed. I know he is smiling down and ready to poke fun at all of our quirks.
All My Prayers to the Grant family,

Mrs. Grant, Diane, Kim and Thom,
I was so sad to hear about Donnie! He was definitely one of a kind! His laughter and goofiness always kept a smile on my face. I know that this is a very difficult time for all of you but please keep in mind that the memories are always there to comfort you. Unfortunately I know this because 5 years ago I lost my brother as well. Time truly heals the pain. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
