Grant Alan Douglas I, age 67, of Sheldon, Mo., passed away at his home, Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2021.

Grant was born April 30, 1954, in Warrensburg, Mo., to Larry Allen and Elsie Jeanne (Bixby) Douglas. He was a graduate of Shawnee Mission North. He was employed by Timken Belts, in Fort Scott, Kan.

In his free time, he frequented flea markets and thrifts shops, hunting for treasures. Grant was a wonderful grandfather.
