Grant is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, having led the Vikings to four Super Bowl appearances and 11 division championships during his tenure from 1967-1983. He is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, inducted in 1994.
In lieu of flowers, the Grant family has requested that memorials be made to either the Minnesota Vikings Foundation or the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Foundation. Both organizations align with Grant’s passion for supporting veterans and their families.
