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.

He was born on November 19, 1989 in Stamford, CT, although he was a Pittsburgh boy always. He is the son of Alan and Donna Schaefer; brother of Drew Schaefer; nephew to John Harton and Cheryl Schaefer Harton of Phoenix, AZ; nephew to Keith Schaefer of Palm Springs, CA, and Larry Lucchesi of Newport Beach, CA; nephew to Anthony Santangelo of Manchester, NJ; cousin of Eric and Chandler Harton. He is also the loving grandson of Lee Santangelo of Manchester, NJ. The family will have a private service locally in the near future. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Cremation and Funeral Care, 3287 Washington Rd., McMurray, PA 15317. (724) 260 5546.

I will so miss Grant. He was a friend of my daughter Marina's. He was so happy and positive!! I only wished I had known of his struggles. He was so nice to my grandson. The world has really lost a shining star and it will be a bit darker now without him. :'(

Alan, Donna, & Drew, So sorry to hear about your loss. Grant was an amazing young man. He was such a good soul. He always had a smile on his face. He & Drew were always so kind to Reagan. I will never forget how welcoming they were when we first moved to Peters. RIP Grant. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.

I lived in the apartment below Grant at CalU... I'm very sorry for your loss. He was such a good dude and got along with everyone. He talked to me like he knew me for years instead of the short time we knew eachother. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family in this difficult time.
