Grant was born on December 18, 1962 to Alphonse and Aurelia Kolbeck in Humboldt SK. He grew up in Lake Lenore, SK and went to school there. Grant helped work the family farm with his Dad just outside St James, SK., area until the passing of his parents in 1986. He met his wife Linda Langhorst in December 1984, they were married on July 12, 1986 and raised two sons and one daughter. Grant was a hardworking man, throughout his career worked most of his life in the Oil and Gas Industry in Alberta. He was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, who loved spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed travelling, working on his art projects and looking at the beautiful view of Lake Okanagan were some of his favorite past time. With his high level of wisdom and understanding of his own spirituality, he was able to guide others on their own spiritual journey and enrich other people’s lives. Grant will be lovingly remembered by his wife Linda (Langhorst), his two sons Greg Kolbeck, Michael (Heather) Kolbeck, their two daughters Sara and Anna; his daughter Kari Kolbeck (Mark Cuthbertson).
