Lewis Russell Grant of Nackawic, born February 5, 1946, passed away peacefully at the age of 78 on February 3, 2025, at the Upper River Valley Hospital.
A passionate outdoorsman, Lewis found joy in fishing, hunting, and exploring nature’s beauty. His love for the outdoors was matched only by his warmth and generosity towards friends and family. He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, employed for 34 years as a Millwright at the Nackawic Pulpmill, unwavering loyalty, and the quiet wisdom he shared with all who knew him. Lewis leaves behind a legacy of fond memories, laughter, and the lasting impression of a life well-lived in harmony with the world around him. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
He is survived by his wife, Diane (Kimball) Grant; his children, Christopher Grant (Michelle), Nicole Grant (Robert) and Kelly (Grant) O’Donnell (Michael); five grandchildren, Zachary (Ali), Lucas, Zoe, Quinten and Ava; a great-granddaughter Gianna; a brother Phillip Grant; several sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law in the Kimball family; several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents, Russell and Bernice (Wood) Grant.
A graveside service will be held at a later date at the Lindsay Baptist Cemetery.
For those who wish to make a donation in memory of Lewis, the family has suggested the Lindsay Baptist Cemetery or the NB Heart and Stroke Foundation.
