June 14, 1930 — May 2, 2020
S. Grant Huckabone, age 89, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 2, 2020 at Rose Senior Living in Novi, Michigan.
He was born June 14, 1930 in Dearborn to Edward S. Huckabone and Margaret S. Grant. Grant was a 1948 graduate of Fordson High School. While working for the County of Wayne, Grant joined the U. S.

He enjoyed spending time with his family, going to horse races at the track, playing poker, a bit of travel, and telling “Bapa jokes” (“Bapa”, a name endowed to him from his first grandchild).
In 1961, Grant met, who would become his wife of 57 years, Rowena “Bunny” Bunch. Together they would raise four children whom they doted over to this day.
