David Grantham, age 73, resident of Phenix City, Alabama, passed away on Friday, April 23, 2021 at Piedmont Northside Regional, Columbus, Georgia. Memorial services are scheduled at the Chapel of Vance Brooks Funeral Home, 3738 US Hwy 431N, Phenix City, Alabama on Saturday, May 1, 2021, 3 p.m. with Reverend Rodney Mitchell officiating. Visitation will begin at 2:30 p.m. Due to COVID-19, the family requests appropriate distancing and face masks.
Mr. Grantham, son of the late Oscar David Grantham and Annie Maudine Boutwell Grantham, was born December 17, 1947 in Enterprise, Alabama. He was a member of Summerville Baptist Church and former member of the East Alabama Amateur Radio Club. Mr. Grantham worked faithfully at AT&T (formerly Bellsouth) for over 38 years, retiring as a Field Supervisor. Mr. Grantham enjoyed hunting, fishing, and storm chasing. He devoted many hours in coaching and developing young boys in the Phenix City Little League baseball program, and also coached youth in the Columbus Youth Bowling League. Mr. Grantham also looked forward to bowling, collecting Native American artifacts, watching NASCAR and Alabama football, but most enjoyed spending quality time with his family. The family remembers him as a great husband, father, and a friend to all.
Mr. Grantham is survived by his wife of 52 years, Deidra Grantham of Phenix City; two sons, Bryan Grantham of Dallas, Georgia and Matt Grantham of Pelham, Alabama; two grandchildren, Jordan Lee and Peyton Grantham; nieces; nephews; cousins; and numerous friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust at www.cst.dav.org.

It is still difficult to believe that David is gone. As young men, we served together in the Air Force, while we were stationed in England. It was a true pleasure serving with David, as he was an outstanding Airman. Later in life, we celebrated many service reunions together. Future reunions will not be the same, without David.
David will be missed but one thing for sure, David will never be forgotten. As we say in Jewish, David was a mensch. David, rest in peace, and looking forward to our next reunion, not on earth. Our sincere condolences to his loving wife Deidre and family. Pauline and Jerry L.

So sorry to hear of David's passing. Seems like all the memories of him was with that wide smile on his face. Bryan and Matt, the last time I talked with him at one of our past reunions he talk so much about his sons as I'm sure I did. Remember to think of him often and tell the good stories of him to all his and your friends.

David Grantham, simply stated a Super Guy. David and I were baseball teammates on the Colt League Pirates in Phenix City long ago when we were 15 & 16. This team was coached by David's uncle. David quickly became my best friend on the team. He was always of good humor and sported a contagious smile. Somewhat calm, easy going, optimistic, and pure fun to be around was his characteristics. The few times I have seen David since high school days are most memorable in that the joy I experienced each time. I hold David Grantham in the highest regard.I am truly saddened that David with all his pleasant attributes is no longer among us. I feel this loss.Condolences to my '66 CHS classmate, Deidra Gunnels Grantham & Family...Bill Blau, Evans/Augusta, Georgia
