After high school, he attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University, where he laid the foundation for his career and life ahead. In 1971, Grant married Donna Dahlem and together they welcomed two beautiful daughters, Evie and Kyla.

In the years that followed Grant married Machelle moved to Ft. Worth and started his own business, Buxton's Appliance and Repair in Ft. Worth, which became a great success. He was a hardworking and determined individual; known for his strong work ethic and his ability to build lasting relationships with those he served.

Grant was a lifelong sports enthusiast. He was an avid fan of the Oklahoma Sooners, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Texas Rangers. His passion for sports was matched only by his love for golf and fishing, activities he loved to do during his free time. For many years, he enjoyed taking his children on a yearly ski trip, a tradition that created lasting memories.

Though Grant is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the love he shared with his family and the many lives he touched.
