Ian Donald Grant, 37, passed away July 24, 2026 surrounded by people who loved him dearly.
Ian was a hard-working man with a big heart. He loved to fish and had a true passion for worming, but more than anything, he loved spending time with his family. Ian was the type of person who would do anything for someone in need, always ready to lend a hand without being asked. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
Ian is survived by his wife, Kristen Grant; daughter, Kyana Grant; stepson, Ayden Preble; his mother, Molly Grant; grandparents, Richard and Paula Grant, and Mary Carter; brothers, LJ Powers partner Gina Follette, Larry Peters, and John Grant; sisters, Jennifer Grant, Nichole Blanchette, and Tiffany Gallagher; in-laws, Timothy and Anita Adams, Rose Adams, and Melody Bishop; along with several aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and many cousins.
He was predeceased by his grandfather, Milton Carter Sr.; his father, Kenny Grant; mother, Linda Pinkham; his brother, Phillip Carter; and his uncles, Lenny and Mac Carter.
Ian also leaves behind very close and dear family friends, Tony and Lia Bohannon, and Larry Smith, who were like family to him.
Ian will be forever remembered for his generous spirit, his love of the outdoors, and the deep love he had for his family.
A Celebration of Life will be held 11am, August 8, 2026 at Jordan-Fernald, 113 Franklin St., Ellsworth.
