Grant Nelson Ray Simmons, age 7 months, left this world way too soon on March 10, 2026. He was born in Canton on July 11, 2025 to Melissa and Brad.

Though Grant's time here was not nearly long enough, he touched the lives of all those who were lucky enough to know him. Grant was full of life and was always smiling. He enjoyed Cocomelon and his toy excavator. He will always be remembered as his mommy's little stink.

He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Don Bennett and Rick Simmons; brother, Remy Lee Simmons; and his uncle, Jerome Simmons.

Grant will forever be cherished and loved by his parents, Melissa Williams and Brad Simmons; grandmothers, Pamela Bennett and Rose Simmons; siblings, Chris (Mesha) and Cole Williams and Diem, Camila, Zeke and Leni Simmons; as well as many other friends and family members who were blessed by his presence.

Family and friends may visit at The Sanctuary Church of God (6535 Maplebrook St NE, East Canton, OH 44730) on Monday, March 23, 2026 from 10am until 12pm. Grant's funeral service will begin at 12pm with Pastor Steve Stewart officiating. Grant will then be laid to rest with his grandfather at Bethlehem Cemetery.
