Remembering John Grant, Webster Student and Navy Veteran

The Webster University community mourns the passing of John Grant, a graduate student who was pursuing a master’s degree in Management & Leadership through Webster's Naval Support Activity campus location in Memphis, Tennessee. He was a retired Chief Yeoman from the U.S. Navy.  

The community extends condolences to his family and friends.

“John inspired those who had the honor to know him. He was a fighter, a genuine, and kind person,” said Connie Southall, director of Webster’s Memphis location. “We are all better to have known him and are deeply saddened by his passing.  Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.”
