Grant A. Torfin

Grant Allen Torfin, beloved father, husband, and friend, passed away on September 5, 2025.

Born on May 27, 1952, Grant grew up with a love for the outdoors and a passion for learning. He was a graduate of Villard High School and the University of Minnesota School of Pharmacy. Born with a deep appreciation for nature, Grant found joy in every season growing up and working at Torfin’s Lake Resort. The same resort where he met his eventual wife Patty during his teen years. Whether casting a line on the lake, skiing through fresh powder, or trotting up the fairways of a golf course, he embraced each moment outside as a gift. He will be remembered as a man who lived life to its fullest, seeking adventure outdoors, dancing to live music, and above all, time with those he loved most, his family.

While Grant’s passion for fishing, skiing, and golf brought him many happy days, it was his family that anchored his heart. He treasured every moment spent together, from simple family dinners to holidays and adventures and was devoted to making memories together. To his family, Grant was not only a source of strength and love but also a role model who showed them the importance of kindness, laughter, and making memories together.

Grant’s legacy will live on in the lessons he shared, the long elaborate stories he told, and the love he gave so freely through his beloved family survived by sister Nancy (Ron) Reichmann; sons Aaron (Christine), Adam (Suzanne), and Andrew (Jessi); grandchildren Mikayla, Ashton, Louden, Laney and great granddaughter Evelyn; James and Juliana; Arlo and Maeva. Grant is preceded in death by parents Russell and Ruth; wife Patricia Ann (Boerboom).

His family and friends will forever remember his warm spirit, adventurous heart, and unwavering devotion to those he held dear.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
