ADDISON — Kyle Howard Grant, 25, of Addison, Vt., passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Dec. 31, 2021. Born on Oct. 1, 1996, he is the son of Scott and Betsy (Haven) Grant of Addison.

Kyle always faced his difficulties with a “can do” attitude. He was noted for caring for others and was beloved by many. He had a number of interests, including aviation history, model airplanes, as well as RC planes and boats. He also loved riding at top speed in his parents’ boat.

Kyle was a member of the Vermont Chargers Power Soccer team. He loved the competition on the court, the teamwork, and the joy of winning!

Kyle was an honorary member of the Addison Fire Department, following in the tradition of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sister, Lindsy (Rhys) O’Neill of Fredericksburg, Va.; Kristen Grant and boyfriend Ande Tasner of New York, N.Y.; his namesake and grandfather, Howard “Buster” Grant of Addison, Vt.; aunt and uncle Jennifer (Brian) Morin of Addison, Vt.; his special nurse/aunt/confidant, Kristie (Dan) Salter of Monkton, Vt.; uncle Chuck Haven of Salem, Mass.; uncle Bob (Connie) Haven of Charlotte, Vt.; aunt Sue (Bill) Tester of Barton, Vt.; nephew and nieces Waldo and Wynne O’Neill of Fredericksburg, Va.; cousins Courtney and Hunter Morin; Phillippa Haven, Chase and Kendra Haven; and Chris and Aaron Tester. He is welcomed into Heaven by his niece Emmy O’Neill, his brother, James Robert Grant, his maternal grandparents Kittredge and Janet Haven, and his paternal grandmother Elma T. Grant.

A celebration of Kyle’s life will be held at a later date this spring/summer.

In lieu of flowers, Kyle requested that donations be made to the Addison Volunteer Fire Department. ◊
