August 21, 1948 – February 16, 2024
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Grant Alfred Purpur of Edmonton at the age of 75; he was surrounded by his wife and children.
Grant was a loving husband, a caring and supportive father, grandfather, uncle, son and brother. Grant is survived by his wife of 43 years Lynn, his son Christopher and his daughter Jaclyn, son in-law Martin, granddaughters Brynn and Jamie, sister in-law Deborah and niece Chelsea, brothers Larry, John and sister Cheryl. Grant is predeceased by his parents Alfred and Gunnvor Purpur, brother Ronald and sister Nadine.
Grant enjoyed the company of his dogs Ben and Bailey and spending time in the yard by the fire. He appreciated nostalgic cars and collectors’ items, old western movies, listening to oldies music, camping, fishing, spending time in the mountains with his family. An avid Edmonton Oilers and Eskimos fan, Grant rarely missed a game and enjoyed watching sports highlights and replays. As a former salesman, Grant was known to have the ‘gift of the gab’ and could chat and connect with most anyone. His jokes, sense of humor and charming personality will be greatly missed.
The family would like to extend our sincerest appreciation for the care that Grant
received. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Leave a Condolence
