Along with his parents, Mr. Grainger was preceded in death by a brother, J. R. Grainger; 3 sisters: Cecil Grainger, Linda Grainger, and Betty G. Brown.

Memorialization was by cremation and a memorial service was held for Mr. Grainger on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 11:30 AM at Gracepoint Church with Rev.
