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. He is survived by brothers, broth-ers, Louis Ellis and wife Bertha Ellis, Don Ellis and wife Arlene Ellis, nieces and nephews, Jimmy Ellis, Joy Ellis Sidwell, Cindy Larkin, Tammy Ellis Rowan, Carol Ellis Zierse and Becky Ellis Marshall.
