William J. Grant

Feb. 12, 1958 - Jun. 2, 2026

William J. “Bill” Grant, age 68, of Rupert,Idaho passed away at his home on June 2. Bill was born on February 12, 1958 in Rupert to George O. and Ellen Grant. He was a son, brother, father, grandfather and friend whose life was marked by both hardship and love. Like many people, he faced struggles that were difficult to overcome, including personal battles that affected him deeply.

Those struggles were part of his story, but they were not the whole of who he was. Those who knew Bill will remember his kind heart, love of music and riding his Harley. Beneath the pain and challenges he carried, there was a person who mattered deeply and who was loved. His life reminds us that every person is more than their battles, and that compassion, forgiveness, and understanding are gifts we can offer one another.

Bill is survived by his daughter Chantel Grant and grandson Jordan Gilbert, siblings Leonard Grant and Michaelene (Dan) Rowe and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by brothers, George R Grant, Timothy L Grant, Dan Grant, infant brother Gregory Allen Grant as well as his parents, George and Ellen.

A gathering of friends and family will be held at a later date to share in the hope that Bill is now at peace.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Walker Center https://www.thewalkercenter.org/ or another addiction recovery organization of your choice.
