It is with great sadness and a broken heart that we share that on August 28th, Grant J. Christianson passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family. For the past three years, he courageously battled chronic Lyme disease and ALS with determination and grace. Grant chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and as a family, we did our best to honor his request. He wanted people to share thoughts about his life and character rather than about a disease that robbed his body of strength. A service remembering Grant will be held at 11:00 am, Friday, September 22nd at Vinje Lutheran Church in Willmar. Visitation will be from 4-6:30 pm, Thursday, September 21st at Harvey Anderson Funeral Home in Willmar with a Time of Sharing at 6:30 pm. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the service at the church.
