Stephen Louis Grant's Obituary
Stephen Louis Grant of Fort Myers, Florida passed away suddenly due to a tragic accident on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. He was 73 years old.
Mr. Grant was born in Westport, Indiana on November 4, 1947, the proud son to Pearl (DeHart) and Melvin Grant. He was a Veteran of the United States Army who served in combat operations during the Vietnam War. Stephen retired from the Indianapolis Water Company in 1999 where he had worked as a civil engineer. He enjoyed photography, fishing and golf and used his spare time volunteering to help fellow veterans through support and service organizations. Of greatest importance in his life, however, was being the loving father to Jennifer Stacy (Bob) and Kimberly Grant (fiance, Greg Price) whom he leaves behind to cherish his loving memory. Also surviving is his grandson, Patrick Nelson.
