Grant Samuel Tipps, 25, of McKinney passed away on Thursday afternoon, February 25, 2021 in Plano, TX.  Grant was born on June 11, 1995 in Greenville to Eddie Dewayne Tipps and Rachel Annette Dawson.  Grant spent his entire life as an overcomer, having to make all the adjustments necessary for his special needs; which he did well. He loved anything dealing with the outdoors: hunting, fishing, and camping , to mention a few. Grant had an infectious laugh and sense of humor that often was displayed as he picked on people. He also enjoyed meeting new people and getting to know them.  Some of his indoor activities included his loving to watch the old westerns on TV. Another memorable thing about Grant was that you never had to guess where he stood on a topic; he would gladly speak his mind so that you would have no doubts about it!
