He married in 1957 he and his wife had 4 children. He discovered he had cancer after falling from an oil rig in Texas. After a long illness he passed away

"Grant Wixson was the greatest man I have ever known. In just thirty three years he impressed the lives of all he knew. His intrest was everything and his hobby was life. He is probably the the only person I ever knew who woke up singing. He was roaming the woods alone before most boys were out of diapers and his love of nature was magnificant. He was as brave as a stormy sea in places where courage was needed, although he was a quiet, gentle, and sensitive man. Grant lived a further richer life than most men who lived to be very old and he appreciated everyday granted to him. He prepared his family as one would prepare a long trip, and each day, they pay tribute to this great man." ACJ -1968
