Grant Edward Schaefer

Grant Edward Schaefer, age 27 of McMurray, PA, passed away unexpectedly from a drug overdose in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 13, 2017. Grant was a kind, caring, witty and fun loving child and young adult. He deeply loved his family and friends, and he did so unconditionally. He was a bona fide car enthusiast, avid punk rocker, and a loyal fan of his two favorite ice hockey teams, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Peters Township Indians. He was a 2008 graduate of Peters Township High School and attended the California University of Pennsylvania. For those who knew Grant well, they knew he lived life at one speed and with few regrets.
