He was born in Panama City on June 7, 1943 to Patrick A. and Sparta Grant. Jr graduated Crestview High School in 1961. He owned and operated Hartzog’s IGA with his family for 42 years. After retiring from the grocery business, he worked for many years with Helig Meyers and Ashley Furniture. His proudest accomplishment was working with his two sons at Rogers & Grant Septic and Johnny on the Spot. First and foremost, Jr loved Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior. He was a charter member of Emmanuel Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon and a Sunday School Director, and a Sunday School teacher. Jr loved the Lord, and he loved his church.
