David Grant, 77, of Frankfort, passed away peacefully at his home on June 18, 2026.
Born November 6, 1948, in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, David was the son of the late Willard and Eulamae (Workman) Grant. He graduated from Rossville High School in 1967 and spent nearly three decades working at Brock Manufacturing, where he was known for his dedication and strong work ethic.
On June 29, 1986, David married Peggy (Merritt) Grant. The couple shared 35 years of marriage before Peggy’s passing in 2021. Together, they built a life centered on family, hard work, and caring for those they loved.
When he was able, David enjoyed spending time tinkering in his garage, always finding something to work on or repair. He also treasured the time spent with his family throughout the years.
He is survived by his step-son, Scott (Kristlyn) Merritt of Frankfort; grandchildren, Emily (Alec) Cummings, Grant Merritt, and Grace Merritt; great-grandchildren, Braylee, Christopher, and Skyler Cummings, and Tatum Merritt; sisters, Ruth Lambert and Esther (Richard) Nicholson; and several extended family members and friends.
In addition to his wife and parents, David was preceded in death by his step-son, Philip A. Merritt; step-daughter, Bonita Renee “Bonnie” Merritt; grandsons, David Allen Merritt and Nathan Merritt; and sister, Naomi Knicely.
David will be remembered for his quiet nature, strong work ethic, and devotion to his family. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Visitation will be held from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 25, 2026, at Day & Genda Funeral Home in Frankfort. A graveside service and burial will immediately follow at Bunnell Cemetery in Frankfort.
