Grant Vaughn Fennessy

Grant Vaughn Fennessy Grant, "a gift from God". As parents, we are proud to say since he entered this world on September 16, 2002 Grant Vaughn Fennessy truly was "a gift from God" in every measure. Smart, quick witted, funny, and gifted, Grant was blessed with it all. Even as a small boy it was clear to see he was well equipped for anything he took on. Grant had a special spark that drew people to him. Charismatic and confident, he was comfortable in any situation from grabbing the mic at his Grandmother's 70th or commanding the podium at a student council election. He just had "it", a presence that made people tune in. From his love for music that he would upload for the world to listen or long conversations with his brother Jack about EVERY and all topics, he enjoyed them all and was mastering life. A cool big brother for his sister Danielle to laugh at and laugh with, Grant had an ease about him that welcomed people in and left them with a smile. His beautiful smile and his dazzling ice blue eyes were a great reflection of who he was on the inside, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. Since being diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2018 at 15 years old, Grant demonstrated to grown men what it meant to be a man. No matter the news, he brushed it off saying "not what I want to hear but what I'm I going to do about it" and he'd press on. Strength, perseverance and determination, Grant was the very embodiment of stoicism. A warrior, a fighter, a beloved brother and friend, Grant went home to the Lord on January 6, 2021. In addition to the aforementioned accolades, as parents, we couldn't be prouder than to simply call Grant, our son. Time will not heal the hole in our hearts of your passing, it will only numb us to the pain. We'll continue our daily conversations with you until we meet again for eternity together in heaven.
