John Grantham

(From Sisco Funeral Home)

John Scott Grantham of Rogers, AR was found at rest at his residence November 8, 2026 at the age of 53.

John was born on April 27, 1973, in Artesia, New Mexico, to the late John and Suzy Grantham. He grew up in Dexter, New Mexico before his family moved to Northwest Arkansas in 1989. He graduated from Rogers High School in 1992. After graduating high school, John went to Cape May, NJ where he completed training for the United States Coast Guard as a fireman apprentice in 1992.






Later in life, John would return to school and complete many technical certifications for ammonia refrigeration. He utilized his education and worked as a maintenance technician in poultry manufacturing until his passing.

John was known for his sharp wit and humor. When he wasn't working, John enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren, reading, sudoku puzzles, cryptoquips, and watching the history channel. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of many topics and loved to share that knowledge with anyone that would listen.

He is preceded in death by his parents John Samuel Grantham and Suzanne Othelda Grantham.

John is survived by his children, Edward Smith of Pea Ridge AR, Jade Grantham of Exeter MO, Jonika Miller (Adam) of Monett MO, James Lewis (Lea) of Cassville MO, John Carter (Allison) of Webb City MO, Jasmine Fletcher (Kolt) of Cassville MO. A bonus son, Jeremiah Smith of Pea Ridge AR. Eight grandsons, Daxton Miller, Blaise and Jett Lewis, Brody Canady, Myles Fletcher, and Adrian, Elijah, Bentley Carter.

Three nieces, Julia Kimbell of Pea Ridge AR, Shay-Lee Krannichfeld of Rogers AR, Sydney Grantham of Goshen AR. Five Nephews, Hondo Billips of Artersia NM, Caden Wallace of Santa Fe NM, Chandler Drain of Pea Ridge AR, Stetson Grantham of Goshen AR, and Shalako Grantham of Rogers AR. 13 great-nieces and great-nephews.

John was a brilliant, complex soul who walked his own quiet path, he carried a depth few could fully know – and leaves behind a fierce, enduring love that will miss him beyond measure.

A memorial service celebrating his life will take place at 1pm on Sunday, November 29, 2026 at Hickory Creek Cemetery 13248 Schoolhouse Dr, Lowell, AR72745. All who knew and loved him are welcome to attend.
