JUAN ANTHONY GRANT, son of the late Michelle Annette Grant and

Sherwood McEachen was born July 28, 1986 at University Hospital in

Baltimore, Maryland. He departed this life on Saturday April 27, 2019.

Juan received his education in the Baltimore City School System,

Matthew A. Henson Elementary School and Carver Vocational Techni-

cal High School. Later he received a certificate from National Center

F or Construction Education and Research.

Juan excepted Christ as his savior and was baptized at Liberty Grace

Church of God. Juan in his life time was an activist for community

rights. He would march with others for the rights of others, he would

speak out until he was heard. Juan was not a violent man, when he felt

something was wrong he would speak out on it.

Juan was a loving and caring person who always wore a smile. He was

playful and good natured, and could add levity to any situation. He was

a special person, and will be remembered by many.

Juan had a great love for his family, willing to offer the shirt off his

back. Some of his favorite past time activities was sports, football and

basketball. There was not a team name or player he did not know about.

He would get so excited when he spoke about his favorite team the

Eagles the veins would bulge from his neck. Juan would drive me crazy

talking about his football/basketball teams, I remember on Friday com-

ing home to the football draft line up station on TV, I'd watch it with him

until I could not take it anymore his favorite phrase was "THAT BOY'S

A BEAST".
