His wife Leanne told mourners at 11am Mass at the Holy Family Church in Waterford on Saturday that she had spent 24 years with Michael before his premature and unexpected passing. “His favourite place was at the sideline of a hurling or football pitch either coaching or supporting not only our children but the other kids. His voice could be heard a mile away. We will miss that voice from the sidelines.”
Eoin Fanning of Mount Sion GAA Club said Mr Grant was a “rare soul” who had a magnetism that made people want to be around him. He noted that one mourner onhad stated that Michael “took the weight out of life” and that was a sentiment that all at the club shared.
