What terrible sad news to read! Grant was an absolute one of a kind superstar! I can’t think of Grant without thinking of Joey! I remember Joey coming to my house in Morwell and the once or twice Grant wasn’t with her was always a disappointment.. Kathy, Joey and Grant had a bond I always admired, closer than most families..

One memory that always comes to mind when I think of Grant is a song- one he of course made up about one of our school friends.. it went something like – “blue vein – junket – pumpers” .. the memory of him singing and dancing that song in the foyer of the Deb will always make me smile.

Rest in Dreamtime geee laaaa..
Thanks for the memories! X Fossy
Condolences to ALL of Grants family and friends.

Such great memories from our teenage years, your sense of humour and quick wit was second to none, so many laughs! You were definitely one in a million Grant x
Condolences to all of Grants loved ones.

Grant, I will always remember your kind heart and your humour
We laughed all through high school and I will cherish that forever!
Condolences to Grants family and friends,
Nyette & boys xox

Grant, you always managed to put a smile on our faces .. you certainly were larger than life, caring and generous .. we only knew you a short time but grateful you came into our lives .. RIP x Love The Thistlethwaites

I don’t even know where to start Grant,

My goodness have we had some awesome times and countless laugh-athons if you could call it that 😂

We met around 6 years ago, Jaxxy and I have had the absolute pleasure of having you in our lives consistently for the past 12 + months. I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you did for me and Jaxxy, you became a huge part of both our lives Grant and not only that but the things you taught us both from cooking recipes, to paint pouring lessons and resin work, wood burning the list is endless.

I love you so much Grant 💜

R.I.P my dear friend you will never be forgotten xoxo

My condolences to Kev & Chez, Angela, Ash, Charlotte & Amelia at this time xoxo

I’m still in disbelief that your gone! I remember the very first time I met you and I was in my first year and I was at the Tafe apprentice comps at the Italian club lol I was terrified of you! looking back now I know that it was a trademark look with one brow lifted lol and your personality was like nothing I had ever seen before lol.
Next you became one of my teachers at gippstafe and made the bar so high for me!you challenged me to be the best that I could when I finished my time at Tafe we became mates and that’s when I got to know the real you and I know that you will be forever missed mate and thank you for the time that we had

Forever your friend BigBird

Hey grant,
You made such a huge impact on me and we clicked straight away. You made me laugh so hard and taught me how to sing at the top of my lungs in the echo.
I will think of you often and love that I have an album full of photos to remember you by.
Sad to say good bye
Love Lisa

I’m missing you already mate , even though we were in and out of each other’s lives I just thought you would always be there . Who will I share my rare and old hair tool finds with , gossip with , discuss hair trends and fails and go op shopping . I was really looking forward to working with you again but your health didn’t allow it in the end . The last few weeks getting to spend time with you was bittersweet but I’m
Thankful for it . Rest easy buddy xxoo

My thoughts are with all Grants family and friends .

My favourite hairdresser always loved your positive vibe and all of our chats
Going to miss you dearly
Kristy

It was like we had struck gold when we lured Grant and his endless talents to Bendigo TAFE.

Every student that he ever taught is a better hairdresser because of him. And every one of his colleagues had a much better time because of him. Grant always brought the fun.

Grant’s creativity, his style, thirst for knowledge, his intelligence, quick wit and humour was incredible and infectious. The laughs were big and there were so many. Grant was the brightest star in every room.

Grant, I hope you knew the impact that you had and the imprint that you have left.

One of a kind. Forever you will shine bright. I love you. ❤️

My deepest condolences to Kev, Chez, Angela, Ashley, Charlotte Amelia and all of Grant’s friends.

Rest In Paradise Grant 🤍
