Grant Walker Seaver, (2002 - 2016) - ForeverMissed.com Online Memorials

Help us celebrate Grant's short but full life by sharing your memories of him

13 years old
Born on November 17, 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Passed away on September 11, 2016 in Park City, Utah, United States

Grant Walker Seaver, beloved son of Debbi and Jim Seaver and adored younger brother of Luke, died unexpectedly at his home in Park City on September 11, 2016.

Grant was born on November 17, 2002, and was in the eighth grade at Treasure Mountain Junior High School. Grant was a kind, creative, accepting boy whose beautiful smile brought joy to everyone he met. Grant had a zeal for skiing and this past spring had finally executed a backflip! He loved dirt biking, trampolining, canyoneering, karate, drumming, travel, speaking Spanish, wearing a suit, cuddles and, most of all, his family and friends. Luke and this “happy cool dude” shared a passion for music, especially the Beatles and the Eagles.

Grant will be deeply missed by his parents and Luke, his grandmothers Betsey Skudder and Mary Louise Seaver, his many aunts, uncles and cousins, and special buddy Keith Brown.

The family would like to thank the amazing Park City community for their love and support during this sad time.

Debbi, Jim, and Luke,
We will forever hold Grant close to our hearts and remember him fondly for all the great memories of sleepovers, allergic reactions, Halloween carvings, camping/boating, and many many dinners together... Even that time when Grant and Cole we hiding in the bush at McPolin when we searched frantically for them... (Infuriating right Deb?) Grant, you always had a smile on your face, and we'll forever smile when we think of you. Rest in peace, our dear friend... In our hearts you'll always be... With much love, Hong, Connor, Cole...

My heart goes out to Debbi and Jim. Grant always had light in his eyes. Seeing you a few weeks ago at the climbing gym was a happy moment in a hectic day. I have fond memories of after school French class and you all coming in to hang out and learn some French. Our thoughts are with you at this time and always. Annie

Jim, Debbi, and Luke,

My heart aches for the loss of your beautiful boy, Grant. I will always remember the days when our kids were babies- such special memories. Grant's beautiful baby face and precious, soft eyes is an image that has been etched into my mind. He was a bright light and a sweet soul. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Much love,
-Jen

Oh Debbie and Jim My heart goes out to you and your family with so much love. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

This past spring I was visiting with Debbi, her beloved mom Betsy and a host of lifelong friends in Pelham. When it came time to pick up Luke at the train station I volunteered to go and asked Grant if he wanted to come along. With his usual enthusiasm and infectious smile he said yes. So off we went with the windows down, sunroof open and tunes cranking at top volume. He and I laughed and sang and chatted. I felt like I was hanging with an old friend, he just had that way about him. I will cherish those 30 minutes forever. The sky has a new and vibrant star in its midst. I will look up everynight and think of him.

My acquaintance with Grant was only passing, but I am well acquainted with his mom's smile when recounting his latest accomplishment or telling tales of a recent trip. That was one loved boy who will be missed by those who knew him. Sending love and good thoughts to those he left behind.

My 11-yr old son has been a recent recipient of Grant's hand-me-downs. We received a call from Debbi on Fri night saying she had some to pick up. We were excited as they are always stylish and hip. Sat night I happened to snap a pic of my wee guy wearing most of Grant's clothes, including his funky sox. I sent it to Deb, captioned "a mini Grant." What timing. His spirit lives on....

I only got to meet Grant once when I spent some time with him and his family at his aunt's home, few year back. I was impressed by what a kind, cool, thoughtful kid he was at the time. My recollection is that he could roll with my bad joking around and throw it back at me in a sweet, smart, and playful way. In other words, he could hang - which is the highest praise in my book. My heart cracks at this news. I send my deepest sympathies and all my love to his whole family in this time of leaving and farewell. You will be sorely missed by us all, Grant. I hope that wherever you are, you're pulling multiple back back flips right now on a pair of perfect skis. You are alive in our memories and shall be always. To quote one of your favorites: "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom - let it be. And in our hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom - let it be." Godspeed, Grant - godspeed.

Grant, Shortly after moving into the 'hood' I went to your house for my first visit. You, appearing as an extremely polite boy, met me at the top of the stairs and instructed me in perfect elocution English ..'Go back down the stairs and remove your shoes'....I have followed that rule since !!....I will miss seeing you crossing through our garden and most of all that rogueish smile. Keep smiling down on us please.!!....Veronica.

We have good memories of you chasing us with water guns and squirting us. We hid in the back of my Dads truck, You found us and climbed in and sprayed us. We just screamed and laughed. We jumped on the tramp with you, your flips were so cool...We will miss
you!!...From Grace and Lucy

It suddenly dawned on me how much alike Grant's cat Homer and my childhood cat Timmy were! Just as suddenly we bonded! The distance between Providence RI and Park City Utah and Heaven itself seemed to blur. And the way Grant held Homer captured for me as it did for all of us his radiant happiness and openness to life. Would that I, his eighty-six-year-old priest-uncle will have touched as many lives when I join him beyond.

September 16, 2016

I remember just last week asking Grant, "How's your cat Homer doin,? He replied in his cute little way, "He's fine, you can go over to the house and visit him if you want." You'll be missed little buddy.
I'll see you on the other side.
Jimmy, Debs, and Luke, you guys stay tough. I love you all very much.
Uncle Rocky

My heart is heavy with the news of Grants passing. I regret that I have not taken the opportunity to stay in touch more over the years, but please know that you are all in my heart and prayers.
Much love and light to Grant, a beautiful bright star and his loving family.

Granty-Lou how do you do? I can hear Deb from the kitchen now. What a sweet, polite young man. A favorite memory of Grant is a camping trip my sons and I took with Debbi, Luke & Grant in the Uintas. He was the first kid to come up to me and offer help from setting up camp & tents to collecting firewood or cleanup. Grant always said please and thank you and was patient too. He never interrupted. We hiked to Cliff Lake and he fearlessly jumped off that cliff. Like his parents, he had a huge heart. We will miss that young man. Love to you all & Godspeed to you, Grant.
