Grant Michael Ausley

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son, Grant Michael Ausley, who left this world far too soon at the tender age of two on July 27, 2024.

Grant made his grand arrival into this world on October 22, 2021, and was an instant bright light in our lives. He had an infectious giggle and an insatiable curiosity that led him on countless adventures. He lived life OUT LOUD and with no fear. Grant had many loves; among them were fire trucks and cars, time spent playing in the best mud puddles, playing with the most wonderful big sisters a boy could have as well as their friends, and many adventures with his best friend, Buddy the Doodle, who was with him until the Lord called him home. Our dear boy had a remarkable way of turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, and his boundless energy reminded us all to embrace life with enthusiasm. Grant attended school at First Baptist Church and Little Ladders Christian Center where he was dearly loved by his amazing teachers and was the life of the party.

Grant is survived by his loving parents, Cheyne and Jennafer, who cherished every moment with their precious boy. He will also sorely be missed by his big sisters, Sophia Paige and Ava Hope, who will always remember him as the fastest, smartest, and funniest baby that they loved playing tag with; grandparents Charlie and Nancy Ausley, Janet and Monte Reinhardt, and Craig and Kelley Foster, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and an abundance of friends, all of whom adored him deeply.

Grant was warmly welcomed at heavens gates by his grandparents Rebecca and Scott Richardson, John (Dadad) and Carla (Gran) Foster, and many more loving relatives and friends.

The family will receive visitors on Sunday, August 4, 2024, from 4:00-6:00 pm at Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home, 3800 N. Big Spring St, Midland, TX. A celebration of life will be held on Monday, August 5, 2024, at 11:00 am at Stonegate Fellowship, 6000 W. Wadley Ave, Midland, TX, with graveside service to immediately follow at Resthaven Memorial Park, 4616 N. Big Spring St, Midland, TX. *In honor of Grant’s favorite color, the family would love everyone to wear their favorite shade of blue.*

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Little Ladders Christian Center, 1708 N. Fort Worth St, Midland, TX  79701 to help fund a new slide for the playground in memory of Grant.

Pallbearers will be Ethan Hammons, Chris Foster, Aaron Brooks, Greg Wells, Charlie Troxell, Baltazar Martinez, and Danjel Watson. Honorary pallbearers will be all of Grant’s CA Electric family.

Each day spent with Grant was a blessing and his absence leaves an unimaginable void in our hearts, and though his time with us was brief, his impact on our lives was immeasurable. We are forever thankful that God blessed us with Grant’s sweet spirit and his overwhelming joy; we will forever carry his memory with us.

Grant’s family and friends would like to send the most sincere thank you for everyone’s outpouring of love, support, and above all else, prayers.

Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory in Midland.  Online condolences may be made at www.npwelch.com.
