Mike Grannis was called home on March 12, 2018 after a long, brave battle with cancer. There to greet him were his grandparents and his twin brother, Todd. Mike will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Jessica, mother Sharon, sister Stacy, brother Ryan, his nieces and nephews Tyler, Megan, Justin, Makenzi, Lindsay, Jadin, and Maci, as well as his aunts and uncles.
When Mike wasn’t trucking around the country with his beloved dog, Molly, he could usually be found outdoors listening to music, watching football or baseball, enjoying his many cruises, or munching on a taco, washed down with a cold beer.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, March 23rd at 4:00 pm, preceded by a viewing at 3:00 pm at Bunker’s University Chapel, 3529 E. University Dr., Mesa.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Hospice of the Valley for their tireless, compassionate care during Mike’s last months of life.
Stacy & family we are so sorry your brother Mike was called home at so young an age. We can take comfort in knowing he is with his Savior, our lord Jesus, in paradise.
I am so sorry for your loss. May the ‘God of all comfort’ be with you during this time. I have personally found comfort in the promise at 1 Corinthians 15:26 where it states that very soon ‘death will be brought to nothing’. Then, we have the prospect of being reunited with our loved ones right here on Earth (John 5:28,29). I truly hope this brings you comfort and peace. With deepest sympathies, Gwen and family.
May the God of Tender Mercies (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort the Grannis family. When the last enemy death (1 Corinthians 15:26) strikes grief may be great. God Almighty gives HOPE and PROMISE. All those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus’ voice and COME OUT (John 5: 28,29). God will wipe OUT every tear from their eyes and Death will be NO MORE. Revelation 21:4
Mike was a very good friend and more, albeit for too short a period of time. He will forever hold a very special place in my heart. May he Rest In Peace, painfree, with those he loved who have passed before him and may I be fortunate enough to be with him again in a future life. He will be forever missed.
My deep condolences to the Grannis family,
I was really touched by the loss of your loved one. When a precious loved one falls asleep in death, it brings to mind God’s precious son Jesus. It is comforting to note how he viewed death. I would like to share it with you from the gift that the Most High God has given to each & everyone of us. Yes, His written word the Bible. In the Book of John chapter 11 verses 11-14 please, notice that Jesus viewed death as one Sleeping. He viewed death in such a comforting way. And, the Most High God promises that we can have the opportunity to see our loved ones again in perfect health (Psalms 83:18, Acts 24:15, & Isaiah 33:24). He even says where: Psalms 37:11 and for how long Psalms 37:29).
I really hope that these promises were as comforting to you as they were to us when our daughter died and also when my precious husband of 50 years fell asleep in death due to cancer. I truly understand the pain that comes from losing someone so precious to us.
Written to you in deep sympathy,
Sissy
Remember Sharon….I am sitting next to you hugging you tightly. Be strong sister and be grateful to God that Mike is out of pain now. ❤Love you..Linda
