Daniel Grant Fugate, 57, of Morristown, departed this life on Sunday, June 19, 2022 at his residence.
Grant was a die-hard Las Vegas (Oakland) Raiders fan – Silver & Black all day – Cause there is NO other way. Grant loved his dogs, as he, the “Dog Whisperer,'' trained several dogs throughout the years with great success. He coached rec-league basketball and football for several years and enjoyed sharing his skills with the youth of his community. To most, he was “Uncle Grant,” as everybody was “Nephew” to him. Grant loved the Lord with all of his heart and encouraged others to trust God just as he did! He always kept a smile on his face and a positive word, a true attribute of Christ.
Grant was preceded in death by his father, William “Pressy Noe” Fugate; mother, J. Aileen Yoe-Carter; adoptive parents, Catherine and Coby Fugate; brothers: William “Moses” Fugate and Jerry Houston; and sister, Tina Ann Blevins.
