Gary and family; We are so saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Josiah. Gary, we remember you coming into our lives as our satellite guy and immediately we became friends and soon you had me homeschooling our children as you & Lynn had done. I can still remember Lynn bringing Josiah out here to Glen Tay to ride bikes with Nicolas and going to SmithsFalls to visit. We have ran into each other several times over the years but we never did get together like we spoke of and we regrefully missed getting to know Josiah even better and getting to know the amazing young man he became. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. I am sure Josiah is smiling upon you all along with his mother. Much love to you all. Rest in peace Josiah.

Josiah, and family; My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Although Jo has moved on to a place we all hope to one day reach, he is forever in our hearts. His smile and contagious laugh will always be remembered, as well as his goofy blue shoes. I love you Jo, I'm going to miss seeing you everyday, hearing you laugh at your own jokes in attempt to make others smile, and having to rush you home because you forgot your football equipment or a homework assignment that was due that day but you decided to leave it on the kitchen table. You were such an amazing friend, and your passing has taught me to live each day like it's my last. You certainly changed my life for the better, thank you <3 "Chin up, keep smiling" I love, and miss you Jo.

Josiah: You are an awesome friend and I am never going to forget the times we've had, such as throwing banana peels down the halls to see if someone would slip on them, then you yelling at me to pick them up before someone seriously got hurt. You're an amazing Person and I'm never going to forget you. Let your spirit be uplifted, spread your wings and fly! Watch down on us. But most importantly keep that huge sky shining with your smile.

I believe that you have a great family who will stay close together for each other and will give the support that each of you will need.

Hey Jo, It has been a while but I still vividly remember your big smile. Your happiness and joy was contagious. You have such a big heart and were a "tropper" (good old CCA days). Playing in the school yard, playing sports like soccer and track, you were always active and outgoing. You will be missed! Never stop smiling. Janel

It is with deep sadness that I mourn the loss of one our young swimmers, Josiah Grant. Josiah swam at Technosport with his parents, Diane and Gary Grant and his sister, Stephanie over the last few years. Swimming generally in lane 6 and 7, Jo exemplified commitment to sport and self -improvement. He was a hard working athlete with a winning personality. Jo is remembered as a fine young man who never complained and always wore a smile. Excited about his first swimming competition, Quebec Provincials next week, Jo also had his eyes set on his first triathalon later in the spring. He trained because of his love for sport and for his health; Jo was successfully battling cystic fibrosis. The Grants are to be commended for their commitment to family and Josiah. Living in Smiths Falls, they made the effort to drive over an hour to swim, knowing it was good for Jo and everyone's health . There are not too many teenagers willing to get up before 4:00 a.m. to swim with their parents. Jo was a very special boy who was happy. He embraced life and loved people, especially his three older siblings: Steph, Simon and Kenzie. Look for Josiah Grant's name on each of our teams relay listing at the Quebec Champs-in his honor.

hey Jo, where you goin with that gun in your hand? this has all happened so fast I'm still only just reacting to everything, it just feels like last week you and Cory were helping with the sound and light for the musical, and just yesterday when we were all hanging out in the music room. Don't worry about us, we're all sad that you're gone, but our memories of you will make us laugh and smile for years to come; just enjoy yourself up there in the great beyond and know that we all love you and care about you very much....oh and say 'hi' to God for me will ya? peace out Jo, you were one cool dude. <3

Unfortunately we never had the privilege of knowing you as well as others. But I had a few conversations with when I was in HS. You have taught us and others that we will take with us for the rest of our lives. That SFDCI students can put our differences aside and join together as a family. As well you taught that life can be change in a second and that we should live life to the fullest. As I look through your pictures you showed that we should face the world with a smile as you did. For this I thank you. R.I.P Josiah you will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Seeing the flowers, candles and messages by your locker the other day when I can to see my SFDCI school it made me proud to see how my SFDCI family came together as one for Jo, RIP! You were clearly a treasure to have in a persons life <33
