I lost a friend to cancer in December of 2009, it was two days before christmas and she was only 18. She was initially diagnosed at 15. She started a charity as well for teens living with cancer and her charity has since gathered around 1million.

My condolences to Grant's family and friends. Losing someone so young is extremely difficult. His memory will live on with his friends and family and with the Big Fun Foundation.
RIP

If the license plate is BIG FUN 2--that's his.

God bless you and your foundation in Grant's memory....

We received it yesterday and so appreciate it. Now knowing its source, it's even more special. You'll get an email acknowledgement that you can share with the others.

Thank you. Grant is smiling on you right now and I think I just heard the Bimmer's engine rev!

What a legend.

RIP Grant, while I never saw any of your posts, from reading the article about you it is clear you're one of a kind.

Grant's 2009 death

Most of these recent posts were responding to my message of appreciation for their condolences and encouragement. I just came upon the messages a little over a week ago.
Jo Anne McKinney, Grant Prather's mom.
