At the age of 64, Grant Undershute was promoted into the presence of the Lord at his home in Victoria, BC on Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Grant was born on January 12, 1946 in Eston, Saskatchewan and grew up in Isham, where he discovered the freedom of adventure, which he applied all through his adult life. Those around him loved his spontaneity, humour and passion for life. Childhood sweethearts, Grant and Lenna, reunited in 1990 and married at the Isham farm July 3, 1994. As a mechanical engineer, Grant had offices in Calgary, Kelowna and Vancouver slowly migrating to the West, ultimately reaching his dream destination of Victoria, BC where he practised for 22 years. He was always an active member in various organizations such as Victoria Full Gospel Fellowship, ASHRAE, Cool-Aid Society, The Mood Swing Orchestra, Victoria Golf Club and the Sterling Men’s Group.
He is survived by his wife, Lenna; his children, Jolaine, Luraina, Jeremy and
stepchildren, Danton, Cheri and Twyla.
A Memorial Service is being held at l:00 pm on Saturday, December 4, 2010 in MCCALL BROS. FLORAL CHAPEL, Johnson & Vancouver Streets, Victoria, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations in Grant’s memory would be appreciated to Victoria Hospice, 1510 Fort Street, Victoria, BC V8S 5J2. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com.
We bid farewell to our loving husband, father and friend;
Generous, humorous, always having a hand to lend.
He will be missed but we know he is free
In Heaven by Jesus’ side now forever he will be.

Good day Lenna,
First – I must apologize for not writing sooner, I just heard the news about Grant.
Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
It’s been many, many years since I spoke with Grant but I remember him as a very kind and very nice man. I’m pleased you were able to share some wonderful years together.
Cherish your memories..
Kindest regards,
Irene Brown
The boys and I are shocked and saddened to know of Grants passing Leena and we send our condolences to you, your family, Grants family and friends. I shall miss chatting with Grant over the fence, and have and will miss his piano playing, which I enjoyed when I was in the garden many a morning.
Be comforted by all your great memories.
Susan
