Son of: David Grant and Phyllis (Hoolihan) Grant. Mike attended Chippewa Hills High School, where he played football and served at St Michael’s Catholic Church throughout all four years. He graduated with the class of 1986. He was employed by Crawford Contracting. Mike married Kelly Ann McKinney on October 3, 1992.
Mike was a funny, loving man with a huge heart, a passion for everything he did, and a deep faith in God. He could strike up a conservation with anyone. He loved tractors, toy tractor collecting, tractor pulls, NTPA truck pulls and all things related to heavy equipment. He could drive anything. He was a diehard Lions and WWE wrestling fan. He enjoyed classic cars, doing burnouts, and watching his kids’ sporting events and band performances. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and volunteered at church, including helping at the fish fry’s and pancake breakfasts. He was very proud of his grandpa’s restored Farmall H, and his antique semi-truck “Hard Times”. More than anything Mike loved his family and friends and laughing with them.
Mike will be greatly missed by his wife of 27 years, Kelly Grant; his children, Danielle (Hunter) Koch, Theodore, Terrence, Courtney and Benjamin Grant; his Mother, Phyllis Grant; 3 brothers, Tim (Dana) Grant, Kevin (Tammy) Felix , Tom (Connie) Grant; his sister, Debra (Richard) Blodgett; 15 nieces and nephews, 13 great nieces and nephews; and his 3 dogs, Daisy, Lily and Odie who will miss him every day.
