Grant passed from this life Friday, May 10, 2024, following an extended illness.


He was born May 26,1955, in Nashville, Tennessee, to the late Buford "Rudy" and Georgia “Bloss” Wilken Sasser. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Grant "Will" Wilken Sasser, Jr.

A graduate of Overton High School in Nashville, Tennessee, Grant began work at Averitt Express, in 1971, and continued there for 50 plus years of service. He retired in December of 2023.


Grant enjoyed time spent with his family, especially his 3 grandsons, and the many trips with them to 30A. He enjoyed working in his yard. He also had a great love for his time spent at Center Hill Lake with friends: Captain David Henry, Jack Barton, James “JT” Threadgill, Mike Sirls, Mitch Sirls, Keith Judd, Nate Maxwell and Steven Flatt. They will serve as honorary pall bearers. Sadly, his friend Ronnie Volpe passed away unexpectedly.
