​​We are so grateful to have known Grant and thankful to him for bringing such joy to [my son’s] life. His wonderful example of friendship, kindness and selflessness will always be remembered.
— PALS Parent

Grant was a treasured member of the PALS family. He volunteered at over seven (7) PALS Programs and was known within PALS for his welcoming personality and supportive nature. Grant gifted PALS with his love for others, genuine kindness, and joy for life.  We are so appreciative of Grant and his siblings' continued commitment to PALS. His presence within PALS furthered our mission of inspiring a world of belonging, and our community was better because he was a part of it.

Grant’s generosity to PALS continues after his passing. In lieu of flowers, PALS Programs is honored the family seeks gifts in memory of Grant. If you’d like to find Grant’s page, visit here. We send our thoughts and PALS love to the McDermott family.
