The resolution honors the life and legacy of Calvin Eugene Grant, who passed away on June 29, 2025, at the age of 81. Born on October 9, 1943, in Key West, Florida, Grant dedicated nearly three decades of his life to serving in the U.S. Navy, retiring as a chief petty officer. Following his military service, he had a fulfilling civilian career at Naval Station Treasure Island in San Francisco. He was a devoted family man, married to Geraldine for 28 years, and was a proud father and stepfather to six children, as well as a grandfather to four.
After retiring to Texarkana in 1996, Grant became actively involved in his community and church, serving in various capacities at Piney Grove Baptist Church and later at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. His commitment to his family, faith, and country earned him the respect and admiration of those who knew him. The resolution expresses heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends, and it calls for an official copy to be prepared for them, concluding with the Senate's adjournment in his memory.
