Every life matters and every life has value. Dwight Grow lived a life of value that truly mattered to all those around him. His life will continue to have a lasting impact in the legacy he has left behind. His legacy is one of faith. He established this foundation of faith for his family years ago and built on that foundation every day. He was a seeker, a follower, a disciple and a teacher. He was a student of the Word and loved to share with others the treasures he found in God’s Truth. Everything in his life centered around his relationship with Jesus. This love relationship fueled his belief and hope for eternity. Thursday evening his faith became sight. All the difficult roads traveled, storms weathered, trials, faults and failures of this life have long been forgotten as he now stands in the presence of Jesus, the Love of his life. He has been welcomed with an embrace and with the words every child of God longs to hear; “well done, good and faithful servant....enter into the joy of your Master. Private funeral services will be held at the Good Shepard Wesleyan Church with Pastor Steven Bolin officiating. Burial will follow at McCune Cemetery.
