Don Grant Obituary
Don Morrison Grant
In 1986, the Grant family moved to the great state of Washington, where Don attended school in Marysville, WA, concurrently graduating in 2000 from Marysville Pilchuck High School and Everett Community College.
An avid skateboarder and creative entrepreneur, Don founded Fucko Skateboards a company designing and producing custom skateboards. Following several years working in the mortgage lending industry, Don continued his studies at Western Washington University, studying Business Finance. During his time at Western, Don met his future wife, Teegan Diamond, traveling to Ireland several times in an effort to win her affection. In December 2010, Don married Teegan in her home town of Sydney, Australia. Following the wedding, Don and Teegan were apart as immigration formalities were finalized. Don died only weeks before they were able to reunite.
Don is survived by his wife, Teegan Diamond; his father, Robert Grant; his brothers, Ralph and Christopher Grant; his mother and father-in-law, Peter and Deborah Diamond; and brothers and sisters-in-law, Sheay, Paige, Laen and Keehan.
A memorial service will be held at the Free Methodist Church, Marysville, WA on Friday, September 16, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. Donations to cover memorial services can be made to http://www.gofundme.com/7wmig.

Although we didn't know Don, it's possible that we saw him and greeted him and his friends along the trail since we,too, climbed Mt. Pilchuck on Sept. 6th. We were grieved to hear of his death. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you. May God comfort you as He alone can.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my Cousin Donnie. I will miss him dearly. We had so much fun growing up together. I will never forget all of the wonderful memories we made. Don and I were partners in crime when we started Kindergarten together! I love you so much Don! You are in a safe place now, back in the arms of Aunt Gayla.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Uncle Robert, Ralph & Chris. Big hugs to each of you.
All my love,
Kally
