Douglas "Dougie" Grant Jr.

Douglas “Dougie” Grant Jr. Pickens, South Carolina Douglas “Dougie” Grant Jr., of Pickens SC, met Jesus on Friday, May 2nd, 2025, surrounded by a room full of love. Doug fought a brave fight with health issues and remained hopeful and amazingly strong through the very end. Born in Pickens County on September 15, 1965, to Douglas and Mary Grant Sr., Doug began his life of being a loving son and a baby brother to Karen, his very first friend. Those two roles remained of importance to him throughout his whole life as he shared precious bonds with each of them. The best daddy there was, Doug spent his life ensuring his children were always taken care of and that they knew his love for them. He did an amazing job doing so. A proud “Papa Doug” to his grandchildren, he attended all sports and special events for each that he could. He always enjoyed the time he could spend with each one and they never had to question his love for them. Doug was a friend to many. A true, genuine friend. Many of his lifelong friendships began as a child with his cousins. Doug began working for Cryovac Sealed Air in the 90’s and remained a dedicated employee until health issues forced him to rest. Many special friendships came about throughout the years employed here, turning several coworkers into brothers. He cherished the friendships he made throughout his life and spoke highly of each one. His family would like to extend their appreciation to all of his many friends as well as their deepest condolences to each one. The family acknowledges the huge loss each friend is feeling as well. Doug is survived by his parents, Doug and Mary Grant; his children Travis Grant (Molly), Amber Grant (Kelvin), Brandon Grant, and Courtney Grant; grandchildren Blake, Kaylee, Niyonna, Londyn, Kash, and Brentley. He is also survived by his sister Karen Grant Winchester (Rick), niece Erin (Stewart), nephew Jesse (Rachel), and special great nieces and nephews whom he loved. “Uncle Doug” was another role he had in life and he did it well. Doug received the gift of salvation when he was younger and recently professed his faith again where he also expressed how well the Lord was gifting him peace and comfort in his mind and spirit. All the broken hearts that Doug left behind are devastated by his passing, while equally comforted knowing that he was welcomed into Heaven after his final breath. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, from 2:00 PM until 3:00 PM in the chapel of Mountain View Funeral Home in Pickens, with a funeral service to follow at 3:00 PM. Burial will follow the service at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Pickens. Mountain View Funeral Home is serving the Grant family.
