Mark Thomas Grant

Mark Grant, longtime resident of Grand Terrace, CA, passed peacefully at home surrounded by family. Mark was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mark Grant is survived by his soulmate, Peggy Merryman, his loving canine companion Molly, son Aaron (Angeliene) Grant, step sons Josh (Elvira) Zink, Jeremy (Alaina) Zink, brother Jerry (Lou) Grant of Cincinnati, sisters Julie Hurts of Cincinnati, Toni Arnsperger of Ft. Mitchell, KY, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his brother Tony Grant of Loma Linda.

Mark was attracted to the area after visiting his brother Tony who was stationed at Norton Air Force Base. He was convinced the California sun was calling him. Mark started at a young age working for a fire protection company in Cincinnati. Moving to the Inland Empire, he secured a job within the industry, later owning and operating Constant Fire Protection for over 30 years with many loyal clients spanning those years. He was highly regarded as a man of integrity.

Mark loved the outdoors. He enjoyed golf, but his passion was baseball. His father Tony started him at a young age playing. Baseball was in his blood. He was an avid Dodger fan who eagerly awaited baseball season to start. He loved cruising in his ’67 Chevelle, participating in Route 66 Rendezvous and hanging out with the “Old Farts”. Mark was a member of the SB Elks Lodge #836.

Mark was the most caring, compassionate, sensitive, and funny man you could have ever known. He will be missed dearly by family and so many friends.
