Grant Edwards Jagelski

Grant Edwards Jagelski was 22 when he tragically passed away on May 12th, 2024 having lost control of his motorcycle and going down an embankment. He passed suddenly and instantly without pain nor time to realize what was happening and was immediately with God. Grant was born on July 19th, 2001 in Vancouver, Washington but spent the majority of his life in Battle Ground, Washington. He is survived by his wife, Hailey, his unborn son Oliver, his parents Rob and Joani, and his sister Ashley. Grant is in Heaven with Sarah, his oldest sister, who passed away in 2022 at 29 years old. He loved being a short drive away from nature and waterfalls as well as still within "civilization". Grant was a proud Eagle Scout who wanted to leave places better than he had found them and was stuck in the habit of roasting a marshmallow whenever there was a fire around. He believed in helping people whether they were broken down on the side of the road, stuck in the snow, or needed to be towed. Grant would also stop on the side of the freeway to run out and pick up large pieces of debris so that people wouldn't run over them. Since Grant was a boy, he had such a love for aviation which transformed into a love for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and basically anything with an engine. His thirst for knowledge transcended vehicles though, he loved the history of the world and our country, he greatly enjoyed space so much so that he not only had posters but also an app on his phone to be able to check which constellations were which when he was in a new place. These past few years he had taken up the love of country living whether that was taking care of his cowboy hats or oiling his leather boots. Grant had a sense of humor which was another prominent personality trait. Everything could become a joke in his eyes and had numerous inside jokes with many people. A good deal of his vernacular had come from jokes that he and his friends would say. Grant married his high school sweetheart and best friend, Hailey Jagelski, on September 10th, 2021. This was an important date for the both of them, having it be the 6th anniversary of the day they had met back in middle school. They were married for two years before Hailey became pregnant in autumn of 2023 with their first son, Oliver Jagelski, being due at the end of June 2024. Over these past recent months, Grant became very excited to become a dad. He had been researching all sorts of new-father-related things and was asking the men in his life who were dads for advice. Grant was always in full support of Hailey no matter what, offering to be a bigger advocate for her and Oliver's health than even she was, and was involving himself in every aspect whether it was going to appointments, setting up baby items, or taking anti-colic bottles apart to find out how they worked. Grant Jagelski was truly one of the good ones and his loss hits so deeply with so many people, but his family and friends know that he is currently spending time with Oliver, up in heaven, before he is born. And, that he is with God watching down on all of the love and support that the people in his life are getting and is incredibly happy.
