With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved David Dudley Grant, who departed this earthly life on September 10, 2026, at the age of 50.

David was born on April 5, 1976, to the late Vernon P. Grant Sr. and Theobyrda Grant. He was one of six children and shared a special bond with his family.

David joined the church at an early age and sang in the choir at St. Paul AME Methodist Church, where he expressed his love for God through music and worship. He later joined Greater Rising Son Missionary Baptist Church, continuing his journey of faith and fellowship.

David had a passion for sports, especially basketball and baseball. During his high school years, he proudly played varsity sports at Central High School. He graduated from Central High School in 1994, carrying with him cherished memories and lasting friendships.

David had a larger-than-life personality and never met a stranger. His kind heart, infectious laughter, and love for life made him unforgettable to everyone who crossed his path. Whether he was laughing, dancing, or simply enjoying the company of family and friends, David knew how to make every moment special.

Intelligent, fun-loving, and full of energy, David enjoyed traveling, making memories, and living life to the fullest. He loved the Lord and held a deep love for his family and friends. He had a special way of connecting with people and left a lasting impression on countless lives.

David also took great pride in his work. He was a dedicated employee of KFC for many years, where his strong work ethic, warm personality, and genuine love for people made him a cherished member of the team. He loved to work, and his coworkers and customers loved him in return.

Above all, David will be remembered for the joy he brought into the lives of others, the love he shared so freely, and the countless memories he leaves behind.

David found love with Constance Monique Gregory Grant, and the two were united in marriage on August 11, 2012. Although they did not have children together, they shared a loving family of four children.

David loved his wife deeply and wholeheartedly, cherishing her until his very last breath. He also shared a deep and special love for his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Gregory, who held a cherished place in his heart.

During the final chapter of his journey, David made meaningful changes in his life. He embraced a new direction, drawing strength from his faith and his love for his family. His journey was one of growth, love, and renewed purpose.

Though his earthly journey has come to an end, the love he shared with his wife and family will remain a lasting part of his legacy.

David was the proud father of four children: two sons, Joseph Landry and David Grant Jr.; and two daughters, Osha Grant and Kiara Cameron.

He was also blessed with three beloved grandchildren: Josiah Pascal, Dream Esprit, and Zamariah Grant.

David leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife, Constance Monique Gregory Grant; his four children; his three grandchildren; his surviving siblings; and his beloved nieces and nephews.

His surviving siblings and their children are:

Althea Grant Martin (Brittany, Ashton, Blake, Alyssa, Brett, Aiden, and Bryce)

Vernon P. Grant Jr. (Kevon, Prentice, Rihanna, Amyia, Landon, and Theo)

Napoleon Grant Sr. (Napoleon Jr., Natalie, Nakoa, and Nia Rose)

In Loving Memory of His Sister, Vernita Grant Hunter and her children, Kane, Asia, and Chyna, also remain among those who cherish David's memory.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Vernon P. Grant Sr. and Theobyrda Grant, and his beloved sister, Vernita Grant Hunter.

He also leaves behind a host of extended family members, friends, coworkers, and loved ones whose lives were touched by his warmth, generosity, and unforgettable spirit.

David's passing leaves an emptiness that words cannot express, but his love and legacy will live on through the many lives he touched.

His laughter will echo in our memories, his love will remain in our hearts, and his spirit will continue to inspire those who knew him.

Though we must say goodbye, we find comfort in knowing that his earthly journey has come to an end, but the love he gave will never fade.

"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."

2 Corinthians 5:8

Rest peacefully, David. Your love, your laughter, and your memory will remain with us forever.
