Jeffrey Wayne Grant, 60, of McDowell, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, February 19, 2022 at Sentara RMH Medical Center.

A man of great faith, Jeff was a member of Word of Faith Church and managed the Word of Faith Food Pantry.  An outdoorsman, he loved hunting, monitoring wildlife with his game cameras, spending Sunday afternoons riding his 4-wheeler on Bear Mountain and was an accomplished woodworker. Above all, Jeff will be remembered as a loving husband and steadfast provider, who maintained a close relationship with his children and was an exceptional grandfather.
