Grant Oskar Arnett, age 79 of Dayton, TN and formerly of Banner Elk, NC entered into rest Saturday, November 2, 2012 in a Chattanooga hospital. Grant was born in Banner Elk, NC on April 27, 1933 the son of the late Wiley and Agnes (Warren) Arnett. Grant was of the Seventh Day Adventist faith.
He loved others and never hurt anyone. He had some problems to be sure, but he was a very intelligent person. If you wanted him to remember a date, he could tell you not only the date, but what happened.
He is survived by his two brothers, Lee (Josephine) Arnett of Dayton Mountain, TN and James (Joyce) Arnett of Banner Elk, NC, two sisters, Isabelle (Bruce) Grimm of Milwaukie, OR and Verna Mae (Tom) Sefranek of Shirley, MA.

He had one great hope and I would like to share that with you if I may.
“And behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man (person) according to his works shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Revelations 22:12, 13. My brother invites you to join him in that hope, will you?
