Todd was born September 6, 1960, son of Bob and Immogene (Weber) Grant. He was the 5th of 6 boys in the family.
Todd was born with Down's syndrome and was affiliated with ARC for most of his life. His handicap did not stop him from becoming a dynamo that had a flair for drama. He loved to laugh and talk about John Wayne. He also loved his family and frequently would say "all boys" and name each of his siblings. He also had a love for food and would often talk about "pie, ham, and pop". He would remind us that 'mom and dad are in heaven'.
Todd was a very affectionate person who liked to give and receive hugs. He loved attention and enjoyed bowling and swimming among other recreational activities. He was often content to watch TV or go for a ride and get a treat. He...[more]
rticipated in Special Olympics for many years. In his later years he developed dementia but his spirit was strong to the end. He would let others know if he did or did not like something.

The family wants to especially thank Kim Hedrick of Luther Manor and Omar of ARC for their many years of dedicated connection with Todd. We would also like to thank the staff at Luther Manor for their good care and especially Melissa and her staff from Hospice of Dubuque.
