It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the passing of David Grant, a beloved friend, family member, and one-of-a-kind soul who left an indelible mark on everyone lucky enough to know him. David passed away peacefully last night, leaving behind countless memories, endless smiles, and a legacy of love that will never be forgotten.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
David Grant was someone who truly lived life to the fullest. He was loved by all and feared by many — not because he was intimidating, but because he had a way of commanding a room with his larger-than-life presence, his mischievous grin, and that unforgettable twinkle in his eye. If you ever heard the words, “I’m calling David Grant,” you knew something was about to happen — and it was probably going to be unforgettable.
There are so many great memories that flood our minds when we think of David. From birthday parties and weddings to holiday gatherings, camping trips, snowmobiling adventures, or just casual afternoons hanging out in the backyard — David was the life of every gathering. He brought energy, laughter, and a spirit of fun that could lift even the heaviest hearts. He had a way of making everyone feel welcome, important, and part of something bigger — part of a family.
David wasn’t just a friend to many of us; he was family. Over the years, he became woven into the fabric of our lives, always there with a smile, a joke, a helping hand, or a slice of homemade pizza. And oh, how he loved pizza — both making it and sharing it with the people he cared about most. We can only hope they’re making incredible pizzas in heaven today, because if there’s a kitchen up there, David’s already found it.
To know David was to know loyalty, laughter, and love. He showed up when it mattered — whether you needed a friend to celebrate with you in good times or a brother to stand beside you in the hard ones. He didn’t just talk about being there for people; he lived it. Through thick and thin, through every season of life, David remained a constant presence — steady, strong, and true.
David Grant Potsdam, New York Obituary: Potsdam High School Class of ’94 Graduate is Dead
It’s hard to put into words just how much he meant to so many people. His loss feels like a wound that won’t easily heal, and yet even in our grief, we find comfort in the countless memories he leaves behind. We remember the campfires where he told stories that had everyone doubled over with laughter. We remember the snowy trails where he raced snowmobiles with a fearless grin. We remember the backyard barbecues, the fishing trips, the spontaneous road trips, and all the moments in between where David’s laughter was the soundtrack to our lives.
The Grant family — Jen, Darian, and the entire clan — has suffered an unimaginable loss, and our hearts are broken for them. David was fiercely proud of his family, and he spoke of them often with deep love and admiration. His bond with them was unshakeable, a reflection of the values he held dear: loyalty, love, and unity. To Jen and Darian, we send our deepest condolences, our love, and our unending support. We are so sorry for your loss. David’s spirit will continue to live on through each of you, just as it will through all of us who had the privilege of knowing him.
David Grant was a proud graduate of Potsdam High School, Class of 1994 — a class that has now lost one of its brightest lights. Those school days feel like yesterday: the football games, the hallway laughs, the small-town moments that turned into lifetime friendships. David carried that small-town loyalty with him wherever he went, and anyone who crossed his path was better for it. He never forgot where he came from, and he never let us forget either — always reminding us that no matter how far life took us, we were always connected.
Even though David’s time with us has ended, the impact he made is eternal. His was a life lived fully and generously. He taught us that true wealth is not measured by what you have, but by the people you love and the memories you make. David left us all richer — in laughter, in love, and in unforgettable moments.
As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the incredible life he led. We celebrate the fearless way he lived, the unwavering kindness he showed, and the boundless joy he spread. We celebrate every inside joke, every high-five, every late-night conversation, and every memory that will now serve as a precious reminder of the gift he was to us all.
Rest in peace, David Grant. Thank you for being our friend, our family, our confidant, and our fearless leader on so many wild and wonderful adventures. Thank you for every laugh, every hug, every slice of pizza, and every moment of joy you gave so freely. You were truly one of a kind, and we are all better for having known you.
We love you, we miss you, and we will carry your spirit with us forever. Until we meet again — save us a slice in heaven.
