Grover was the ideal outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing.  He had a tremendous heart for animals of all kind.  If he wasn’t playing jokes on someone then he was thinking about it.  His love for family, children, and the outdoors was obvious to everyone that he encountered.

Grover was the best example of a true friend and will be greatly missed by all that knew him.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Jimmy Lavender; and sister, Carolyn Jo Lavender.

Grover is survived by his wife, Lisa Lavender; step-son, Jason Wylie, both of Cleburne; sister-in-law, Kay Lavender; nephew, Chance Lavender and wife, Lacey, of Blum, Texas; great nephews, JC, Cooper, and Cutter; and great nieces, Katelynn Johnston, Kimberly Lavender, and Kennedy Spaeth; and many other family and friends.
