Past RI Director and Past District Governor Grant Wilkins passed away Saturday afternoon, May 19, after courageously battling throat and neck cancer this past year and a half. He died peacefully at home with his loving, devoted wife of over 50 years, Marlene, at his side. He was 91 years old and would have celebrated 50 years with our Club in February.
 
Just hours before his death, President Rich Harris gave a touching tribute to Grant at the Rotary District Conference, highlighting just a few of his many accomplishments, commemorating the life of this very special man. Grant LOVED sharing Rotary with others. His passion was unparalleled, inspiring others to serve; to become better people, better Rotarians.
 
Please keep Marlene, his brother Jim and the entire Wilkins family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Notes of condolences can be sent to 5530 E. Euclid Ave, Centennial 80121 (Marlene) and 3333 E. Florida Ave, #59, Denver, 80210 (Jim).
