Name: Steve Travers CommentsGrant, I only know you through your Dad but a friend's pain is my pain. God keep you in His fretting hand. Name: Kirstin Fine CommentsI was in band with Grant from 6th to 8th grade. We never hung out but we talked during practices or on our breaks. He was a great guy, really down to earth and very very funny. He's one of those people that when you tell him something, you know that he's really listening to you. There arn't a lot of people like that out there, he was a very special person. He also was incredible at making anyone smile or laugh when they were upset. That's what made it so easy to talk to him about things. He could always make you feel better. I love you and miss you. You were amazing and I think about you a lot and wish that I could've known you more. I know you're in a better place but remember how everyone loves you down here and always thinks of you when an old memory comes up. RIP Grant. <3, Kirstin Fine Name: Hannah Richardson CommentsWe talked about you in class yesterday. We all wrote letters to your mom and francis and megan's mom. I told your mom about how in 8th grade you and chuck would always make ms. Rowe's class interesting and how you guys kept us laughing. I wish i had taken more time to know you better but i just want to let you know that everyone misses and loves you. ~R.I.P~ Name: Steve McCormick CommentsI have very happy memories of Grant. It seems like yesterday when Kim, Gerald and Grant were visiting in Huntington Beach and whenever I think of him I smile. During that visit, Grant taught me how to play Jack Johnson's "Banana Pancakes" on the guitar. Grant's radar sense for hot classic cars was always entertaining when we were driving around town. Somehow he could pick them out of nowhere. To my son, Sean, Grant was more like a big brother than a cousin. They had so much fun together and it was always comforting to see them together and hear them laughing. Grant had such a wonderful spirit about him. Whenever I was around him, I just felt good. I think he will fit in just fine as an angel in heaven, because he was already an angel here on earth. I dearly miss him, but I am honored to have known him and to be have been his uncle. His spirit is eternal and I look forward to more guitar lessons in heaven. Name: Brittney Knapp CommentsGrant was the best. He always new how to make me smile. I remember seeing him in the hall on B-days and him stopping to say hi to me and ask me how my day has been. I never really thought about him being the only person to actually take the time to listen to what I needed to say until I found out that he was gone and I would never get to talk to him again. I never thought I would lose a friend. The last thing I remember saying to Grant was hey and he said hey back then he walked with me to math and then he left to go to his class. I wish that I would of said more to Grant but he knows that we love him and that we miss him and he knows that he touched everyone some kind of way and he will always be remembered. ♥Brittney♥ Name: Spenser Dresser CommentsFrom elementary School until I left from Dutchfork Middle, Grant was always one of my close friends. I remember weekends when I would Ride my bike to his house and we would hang out; Swimming, Going on the jet skii, Paintball, and the many more great times. Grant always had us laughing and cutting up. Grant was always that sholder you could lean on, and He'd always help you along the way. If I could say one word about grant....I would have to be Ginuine...Grant man Those were the times man... Name: Becky Greene CommentsI remember the many years at Irmo Elementary School! Lets not forget the many great times he was in the talent show! I always saw him and his mom always working on something that had to do with it! Grant buddy i miss you so much! Its really weird not seeing you around, but your in a better place now! I called you today but you had to many messages so I couldn't leave one! How popular you are man!! I Love You and Miss you soo much!! <3 Becky Name: Taylor Nelson CommentsGrant and I met last summer at the movies. We started hanging out and talking and I came to find out real quick how funny he was. Some kid he was with started making fun of my hair [hahahah] saying they didnt like it or something. (i think it was logan) and i got really upset and stomped off and pretented to be offended. Grant ran after me yelling "YOU HAVE GREAT HAIR! IM JEALOUS!" and from that day on everytime i saw him thats what he would say. He ended up dating my cousin for a while and she was crazy about him. sadly she had to move to pennsylvania. The night of grants accident he was at the movies. I said hello but was a bit disstracted and didnt pay much attention to him. Several minutes later he came and asked me and the three people i was with if we wanted to hang out that night, and how he was going to go hang out with some friends. Two of the people i were with were completley down for the idea. They said yes immediatly but that night i didnt really feel like being out much to late so i declined and so he said that was fine and i gave him a hug before he left. the next morning i heard the news of the accident and broke down because even though i didnt know him as well as some might have, it was so scary that just a few hours before i was sitting with him and talking with him and i couldve just as easily been in the car as anyone else. Grant changed my life that day though. in a really big way. he was so young and had such a good spirit. He showed me that things can go unnoticed but life will live each day as long as your ready for the journey. so thank you grant. youll always be in my heart. love always, taylor nelson Name: Alissa L CommentsGrant I didn't know you like many. but your story touched me in many ways. Not once did i ever think that someone so popular and known would ever leave us this early. I am leaving this message just to let you know that we are all thinking about you, me included. And even though i may not know you as much as others, i grieve your loss as much as everyone else. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Hope you are having a good time up there. :] Name: Lauren CommentsGrant <33 - - you were the best. the greatest guy the greatest friend. the funniest person. you were all around the best. i cant believe your really gone. i really cant believe it. you used to always tell me it would be ok or when i needed someone to talk to you would always be there for me. i dont have anyone like that anymore now that your gone. you were the only person i could really trust. you were the only person that i knew wouldnt change. you would always keep something a secret if i told you too. you were always there. always. i cant think of one time you didnt help me or just talk to me. ill never forget all that we went through. from 7th grade when i first met you and all we wanted to do was hangout. i remember going to logans and when i would sit in the car i would just listen to you play your guitar. you were amazing. the best i knew. i wish i could just have one wish that could come true.. i would give up anything and everything just to see your smile again and tell you that i loved you and get a huge hug like you used to always give me. the last thing i ever thought about doing was writing in a memory book. i didnt want to have to write them down. i wanted to live them. live them with you in them. i wanted to grow up and you still come over and hangout with us. drive away really fast out of our driveway for the first time and hope my mom didnt see. hah you were so funny and would always put a smile on my face. and on anyone elses. no matter who the person was you would always make them smile. i still see you in my dreams sometimes. ill wake up and think all of it isnt true. i think its all just a dream till reality hits me and i know its true. all of it happened november 18th is only going to be a memory of reliving something that no one ever wanted to happen. now its only a memory everything is. but i know one thing ill never forget you or anything you did. all i would want is for you to come back just one more time. if i could trade places just for you to come back i would. but i know i cant.. and it sucks. i just cant wait till the day i get to you see you and your smile again. you said that if anything happened to you wed probably forget well i can tell you one thing your wrong.. its what i wake up thinking about and go to sleep thinking about. because every night before i go to sleep or when i wake up the first thing i see is your picture. i think when i went to the wake. that was the first time id never seen you not smiling. it was soo hard looking at you grant. i miss you so much buddy. you were one of the greatest gifts i could of ever asked god for. and i cant wait till i get to see you again grant. i hope your going good. i love you soo much grant michael gallagher.

Name: Tawny Gaites CommentsGrant was the sweetest person in the world. He was very kind and loving.All he wanted to do was make whoever he knew happy and he did make many people happy. I cry just looking at his pictures I miss him so much.Grant we love and miss you always. You will be in our hearts forever. Name: Jacob CommentsGrant,you were always the crazy kid that i loved to hang out with. There was never a dull moment when we would chill. I miss you so much. I love you bro. Name: Robin Keller CommentsAll of the friends of Grant's parents here at the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California, Irvine, share your sadness. Name: Sarah Proctor CommentsIf I began to talk about all of the amazing times that Grant and I had.. I would be sitting here for the rest of my life. Grant is honestly the most amazing person that I ever met. The first day that we met we started going out & even though we didn't date that long we became best friends. I only got in one fight with Grant & it lasted for 5 minutes before he called me and said that he had no idea what he was thinking. He always knew how to make me smile.. which wasn't unusual because he brought a smile to everyone's face. He was the only person that I could tell everything too, the only person that I could just sit there and talk to on the phone for hours without ever having a dull moment. Grant was always there for me whenever I needed him.. if I ever did anything stupid or dumb that a friend would normally get dissapointed at.. I knew that I could always call Grant and get him to reassure me that everything was all gonna be okay. We used to sit on the phone some nights without even talking and I would just sit there and listen to him play the guitar and he would play me any song I wanted to hear. We would go to the mall for hours and just walk around and totally lose time & even though there would be nothing to do he could always find a way to make it fun and not boring. I remember that I used to always call Grant whenever he went out to remind him to buckle up and make him promise me that he would be safe. I remember when he got in the wreck a little bit before the night he left us and I got so scared when I heard that he got in a wreck. I thought about what I would do without him and it just scared me so bad. I also remember when Megan Preston passed away we talked on the phone about how horrible it would be if that happened to one of us and bad we felt for her family and friends. I remember so much the Thursday night before he got in the big wreck.. It was raining so hard and the wind was blowing so hard and there was a tornado warning. I remember all of my other friends all went to bed and left me up even though I was so scared. I called Grant and he told me he was on the phone but he got off right away to talk to me. That night Grant told me that I was like his little sister and that he had no idea what he would do without me while I told him that he was like the big brother that I never had and how much he truly meant to me. We talked about how we were still going to be best friends even when he was a freshman in college and when I was a senior in high school. That phone call was the best phone call that I have ever had in my entire life. I felt like God knew that we needed to tell each other how we really felt about each other before he left. I'm so glad that I got to tell Grant how much he really meant to me. He was my everything. My best friend, my hero, my big brother. I know that no one will ever replace him and that no one will ever be like him. I am always going to feel empty because Grant was a huge part of my life but I have to live my life on like he would because I know he would want me to be happy and I owe it to him because his life had so much more to go. So I'm gonna live my life not only for myself but for him too. Grant Gallagher was my best friend and I know that even though he's not with me I will always have him in my heart. I love you so much Grant & my life will never be complete because it won't involve you. The day I get to see you though, will be way too amazing for words. Love always, Your Little Sister <3 Name: Ron Ryan CommentsSorry to say I have no memories of Grant, but as I believe we all have a common link in our love for music, please allow me to sign this book. I also firmly believe that death is not the end, but it is a new begining, the saddest part is leaving loved ones, and feeling their grief. My thoughts are with you. Ron Ryan. Name: Kirsten Hulon Commentsha i love you grant : ) you were an awesome friend, and i remember the last time i talked to you we were just talking about how we needed to hang out again soon. and i wish

Commentsu know we never hung out alot..and we werent "best friends", but the times we did hang out we had a blast. like the time u and andrew came over to my house when courtney was over in the summer..that was great. and when me and kirsten went to the dodgeball tournament and like half of yalls team just sat in the bleachers and chilled lol. the day we got back from school after that crappy weekend..me and courtney and like everyone didnt go to class. we were just driving around town haha talking about you and stuff, even though it was sad..all the stories they were telling us were hilarious. you were a great guy and you shouldnt have left this early. im going to miss you for sure. <3 Name: Laryn Rodgers CommentsI remember many of things about grant. he was honestly my favorite person. no matter what he could always put a smile on my face. and even with no makeup on..hair a mess. and pj's on. he would tell me that i was beautiful...not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. he was an inspiration to sooo many people. he touched my life in so many different ways. from the first moment that i saw//met grant. i loved him. and yeah, we argued sometimes and disagreed on certain things. but that's what makes friednships stronger. no one could ever replace my feelings for him, pictures could never replace actually being there. but my memories of him will last forever. he was my hero, my strength, and my pride. only god will know "why"..but i know that with his memory..he will last forever. i know that i will go on, and that i will live my life. but i will not just do it for me. i will do it for him as well. i remember him calling me while i was in florida just to tell me that a good movie was on, and he would sit there and watch it with me over the phone. i always feel him with me. he is the wind in my hair, the breeze throughout the trees, he's the happiness that i feel, and he is the sadness that i feel. but what i am really thankful for is his parents mr. and mrs. gallagher. because you two created something so perfect, something that i will cherish forever. and i know that he lives on. throughout everyone. i mean if you look up the definition of perfect in the dictionary. there would be a picture of him right there. and i know that he is happier than we will ever imagine of being, he is up there with the big man. and i know that when the time is right. he will be there waiting for me...with arms wide open..and a big smile on his face. i know that i never thought that something like this would ever happen to someone that i cared about so much. but i know that everything happens for a reason. and grant lived a wonderful 16 years on this earth. i will never forget him...ever. grant i love you and i miss you. and i hope that you will watch over us. rest in peace sweetie. you are never to be forgotten. <3 Name: Martha Contreras Commentshey champ. how's heaven? u don't know how many times i have tried to write

I remember how me and my friends used to be on the dance floor and you would always come and join us. You were always so friendly and nice. lol and you had some great moves...i'll miss those moves <3 daria Name: Louis Clements CommentsI know Grant didnt know me that well, but I hung out with him and his friends at the Carolina game one time. He made me laughed the whole time we were there! I knew his girlfriend very good. Shes a good friend of mine and love grant alot. A couple weeks later I herd of his death. It gave me a shock. How could a kid die at such a young age? Sixteen is too young. But like they say "Only the good die young!". Two weeks earlier I was talkin to Grant and two weeks later i find out hes in a better place now. Grant buddy roe!! Everyone will miss, even Irmo!! rest in peace, Louis Clements Name: TINA CAMERON CommentsI met Grant a few years ago after taking him and some other friends of my sons home from his birthday dinner/movie. I remember joking with him on the way to his house about his "big shaggy hair" as I called it! My son Corey had the same haircut and it drove me nuts but it fit Grant perfectly with his personality. My son was very good friends with Grant and I use to talk to him occasionally on the phone, he was always very polite and just a great kid. We miss him very much and he will always be in our hearts. Name: Ryan Commentsall of those times friday nights and saturday nights wasted sitting at the movies laughing and walking back and forth between 2 stores and the stupid black rentacop kicking all the kids off the property and all of the times bumping into you and logan and the most random places. you kept a smile on everyone's faces and kept a good head on everyone's shoulders. we'll run into each other sometime again before we both know it.

Name: Ernest J. Corrigan CommentsIt is always a sad time to lose someone you love dearly but espically when that one is so close to you.

I mean like..wow Name: Lexi Nye CommentsMy story It was my birthday. I turned sixteen. We were all dancing at headliners, our usual routine on those summer Sunday nights. My friends dedicated a song to me for my birthday, and I watched everyone pile out on the dance floor. You came up to me, and asked me if i wanted to dance in your 'romantic voice'. We both laughed, and i agreed. When we were out there you were singing to me, and I just laughed as we went across the dance floor. I was so glad I got to share my birthday dance with such a special friend and person. The laughs we always shared, the smiles, the jokes. That night became my favorite of them all, one that I will remember and cherish the most. I love knowing that you are in a better place, touching more hearts and lighting up heaven with that great smile and charm. You touched me in a special way that no one has, or ever will. You taught me that the road in life is high, and that each turn you take leads you to another, greater journey. Your journey is not over Grant, but just beginning. You were my friend, who became my guardian angel. Your picture lies on my mirror, that I love, and look forward to seeing everyday.

Now everytime I walk through those doors and look at your seat, my heart breaks.. You touched my life Grant Gallagher. You helped me through a difficult time and you don't even know because I never got a chance to tell you.. or thank you. I'm saying it now, thank you Grant- for every smile, for every laugh, for taking the time- just for everything. It means more to me then you will ever know.. Life will never be the same without you.. I will never forget you, or how you helped me. I will never forget the way I would walk into class and you would ask how I was and I would say "I'm having a horrible day" and you would just look at me and say "I know" and give me one of your gorgeous smiles I couldn't help but return. We lost an amazing person, but heaven gained a very special angel.. I love you Grant, I will always miss you.

It didn't matter how bad my day sucked, or how much I thought i hated life, you always cheered me up. Everyone knew how much you loved life. You lived it to the fullest and i envy you for that. I'm jelous of pretty much everything that had to do with you: talent, ability to make anyone smile, great friend, honest, caring, and everything i've always wanted to be. I looked up to you. Although i didn't know you all that well, it feels like i've known him my whole life. He was a really great guy. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you. Name: Chris Brinkley CommentsGrant was the kind of person you didn稚 have to know very long to love. I had only been good friends with Grant for about a year and yet I felt more comfortable talking to him about life than I did with friends I had my whole life or even my family. Every time Grant and I hung out, it was a memory that I will keep forever. I never hung out with Grant once were he and I just sat around bored. He would never have let me. He always knew what he wanted to do and he would make sure we did it. He was always head butting things (hard things) or doing something crazy to make me laugh. Whether we were having a good time or getting into trouble or both, Grant was always there to back me up. Life now can never be the same and I don稚 know what to do with all the time that I usually would be and should be spending with Grant. But I am sure he is up in heaven thinking up something crazy we can do as soon as I join him. Grant was honestly the most amazing person that I have ever met and no one else in the world can ever be like him. Name: Morgan Foote CommentsHey champ, you would be blown away to see how many lives you've touched. Disregard anything anyone said bad about you, it's just jealousy talking. I had the BIGGEST crush on you, you were my buddy! It's so sad sitting in Rowell's class and you not being there to make us laugh and to annoy Ms.Rowell, but she truly misses you! I think that everyone learned a good, but hard, lesson through all this. You will be an example to us all. It's just sad it had to be you. You were perfect. I just wish you could come back. I love you. I miss you. Did I forget mention you were the most adorable baby EVER? Name: Matt Bedenbaugh CommentsGrant. What a character in life. Probly one of the best people I have ever met in my life. When i first met grant i took one look at him and thought, "Oh joy, other preppy kid." But oh how i was wrong. Grant was funny, fun, enjoyable.. I could go on. I whatched the slide show and look at this site and it makes me cry and smile. Grant was the man. I used to call him lucky charms. And he was a lucky kid. to have touched and fulfilled so many peoples dreams. I look up to that. I remember some of the great time we had together.. Like when I ran Full speed and he came outta nowhere and drop kicked me. haha. Or when Grant, Francis, Logan, Shane and me got kicked out of the Mall for playing invisible football. All the good times we had hanging out in Ashford Park. Or when we got in trouble the friday before the 18 in engineering class and we had to stay later and the last thing i did was smack his butt laugh and tell him id see him later. Something i plan on doing. I truly did Love Grant. I looked at him as a bestfriend and still do. I miss him so much tho that it hurts. everyday i see something and it remindes me of him and i wanna cry and laugh. At the visitation i reached down and grabbed his hand, and said outloud, "Grant, I love you soo much man and im going to miss you, but i promise ill see you soon. Keep an eye out for me okay?" I meant what i said. I love you Grant Gallagher. -Matt Bedenbaugh Name: Jay Poston CommentsGrant was the most memorable person i have ever met. He always had a smile on his face and always put on a smile on my face with his sense of humor. It didnt matter what kind of attitude I had he always cheered me up. I remember one day in science class he sprayed Axe in his mouth for a quarter. That is one of many memorable things i remember of Grant Name: Kailey Porter CommentsGrant was amazing..no matter how sad you were, when you saw him he just always made you smile. he made me so happy when i was around him, it was the best thing ever. he was the best guy ever, and one of my best friends, i miss him sooo much and i will never forget him. nor will anyone else. He was so much fun to be around. like for reall. i would see him in the mornings and after school, and he would just make you laugh, he was such a dork =]. i miss him like crazyy, but i know he's in a much better place. Grant Michael Gallagher. I Love You, you might be gone, but your memories will live on forever<33 Name: Taylor Commentsfreshman year: grant you told sarah shedd in ms. strothers class that you had a prarie dog named jonathan. we laughed about it ever since then, since she believed you. Jonathan stayed in your "golf course" back yard when you lived in shedfield ahaha. it was great. you were always so happy. i'm gonna miss you. hell i already. and i have ever since i heard the news. <3 Name: Brittany Degnan CommentsWell, dang there are so many. It all started in ms.rowells class this year. We were watching super size me and it soon became mine and grant's favorite movie. espesically the theme song (loved that thing). Well as everybody know that movie is suppose to make you want to stop eatting mcdonalds but oh no, not me and grant... no no no we're the different ones. So we decided we wanted mcgriddles that saturday morning. So i got his cellular device numbre and i called him up that morning. He was with Drew Brawner and i was with amanda. They actually bought mcdonalds for us and brought it back to amanda's house for us to eat. at the time me and amanda used to say "i mean i guess" "i mean i know" and it was our first time hanging out with grant and i guess we said it so much that one of the times i said "i mean i guess" grant goes "i mean i know". gosh it was the funnest thing. i guess you probably had to be there but it was pretty dang funny it you ask me. and we ended the day with grant dancing to black music like he did. that was a fun day. i think it was the next time maybe the time after that that we went to "the tree". that boy made ME climb all the way up a hill to see this WAY COOL tree that he and his friends had found. granteed it actually was a really really cool tree you could like sit in the branches and stuff. and Grant actually did offer to carry me up the hill but i was nice and walked. And then me and matt dent and grant drove all around harbison for pretty much no reason. and that was the last of grant's car. he came back that monday morning.. "guess what happened to me this weekend... i got in a car wreck...yada yada yada" who hasn't heard that story haha. anyways, i will never ever forget the day he told me he got mased. dang, he came into school so excited because he had like the best weekend ever and he really didn't though. some people that aren't half as exciting as grant would think of it as a bad weekend maybe they'd give it an okay. but not grant no way. he'd give the worst situations THE BEST reputations. He'd tell me how hilarious it was that some big black lady mased him and really being mased like hurts. he like showed me pictures and everything. that boy he is a crazy one. i'll tell you one thing. i definitely love him for his mind. this kid. gosh do i miss him so much. but anyways, there are a lot more of memories i have of this boy. like he was my lab partner in science but i dont think people wanna read an essay. Name: Lindsay Cooper Commentslol. im sorry my email is a little umm.... loud? i really couldnt think of anything else at the time. Dear Grant, it still hasnt set in that youre gone. i just keep expecting to see you the next time i go to the movies you'll be there. ive only known you for about a year but i feel as if ive known you for forever. i cant look at all the places we've been together anymore. it hurts too much. like the time you, logan, kayla and i went to kroger and watched the dude go around and clean the parking lot and poked fun at him, and then we drove out of the parking lot and past a cop and you acidentally forgot to put your lights on. we couldnt stop laughing because he didnt even notice. and then we went to the lepark elm. playground and you and i played on the swings while kayla and logan did their own thing, us laughing the whole time. kayla and i still make fun of the way you said this: "i'm game. where to?" and then you started doing cartwheels and back flips down the hill in little clothing so we took your clothing and ran and then u tackled me. that was the funniest thing and i would give everything i could to share at least one more moment like that with you. or any time at all. i miss you so much. and i cant believe you called me right after you had your first wreck. but you were always so calm about things. you could never be mad or sad, and you would never let anyone else feel that way, either. i loved that about you, grant. everyone did. and i could come to you and talk about anything. if it was bad, you would make it good. if it was good, you would make it even better. im so glad i ran into you at k-mart. but i wish that it wouldve have been the last time. but im glad that we cleared things up about what happened. and i wish that i couldve been at the movies that fri. and i wish that you were still here and francis. i had so many good times with both of you and its so unreal that i cant have more. and the wierd thing is that im just now getting into the types of music that you listen to. lol. i wish that we could listen to it together. but when i do come up there and visit you, ill bring a whole bunch of cd's... ur guitar... and some kool aid and we can have the best reunion ever. i love you grant. and i miss you like crazy. but i know that you would want me, as well as everyone else, to not be sad, and to just live our lives to their fullest. so ill try. you may be gone now, but you will never be forgotten. Name: Elliott Reeser CommentsI didn't know grant that well but he was good friends with my sister and a loyal boyfriend to a really good friend of mine. when i heard of the accident it hurt me because one day about a few weeks before it happened he was hanging with my sister at my own house and i just couldnt believe it. knowing how it felt to lose someone close (lost my dad 7/28/06)i knew the pain everyone went through and then i went to his myspace and saw that 2 pages of comments were filled with upset people.
