In Memoriam

Grant Solomon was an extraordinary young man. Despite the extreme difficulties at home, Grant was a vibrant, upbeat, and talented boy - a loyal friend and sibling who impacted many. He adored his mother and sister and considered himself their protector. Grant had a beautiful girlfriend, Hannah, and they loved one another deeply. A talented baseball pitcher, he was being recruited by Division 1 schools.

 

Hundreds gathered for his memorial and it was his peers who relentlessly pointed out the painfully obvious inconsistencies in his death.

​

According to his sister and his friends, Grant never had a good relationship with his father, who he said would abuse him regularly - mostly psychologically, but would also physically lash out at times. Despite his well-documented fear of his father, for years, he tried to get help. Just as Gracie was dismissed, Grant was often dismissed as 'just a kid'. Grant had hopes of testifying against in court once he turned 18. Once he was legally considered an adult, Grant hoped that his testimony would finally be heard. 

​

On July 20th, 2020, only 5 weeks after his 18th birthday, Grant Solomon died after supposedly being run over by his own vehicle. The only witness to this alleged accident was his father, Aaron. 

​

The incident was extremely suspicious, yet the entire "investigation" consisted of taking Aaron's statement. The Gallatin Police treated the tragic event like a parking lot incident - even though the truck and Grant were on government property - and closed the case. The case has not been re-opened.
