You were family to him, you are special people. Thank you. Before Grant's dad died, he went a lot of places with the Senior Citizens, like Hawaii. Grant had many friends and always remembered the ; "oldies" of Pleasant Grove when they passed on. Grant set a great example for us all to follow, never complaining complain-ing and taking what he got in this life and doing the best he could. He was preceded in death by his parents and older brother, broth-er, Max Ellis.
