Payton Bryan Durant

Payton Bryan Durant, 21, of Granbury died on June 4, 2017 as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident. He was born September 17, 1995 in Cleburne, the son of Wes Durant and Amy Morris. He graduated from Granbury High School in 2014. He graduated in Orlando, FL from MMI and was employed at Freedom Motor Sports in Weatherford, TX. He was employed as a motorcycle technician.
Payton had a love for soccer. He played soccer for most of his life and that’s where he met many of his friends that are still friends today. His other love was something he shared with his dad and that was racing motorcycles. Payton loved riding his bike, so much that he went to school so he could learn to work on them and fix them. He and his dad tried to get some riding in every weekend they could sneak away. Payton was a great young man. He had a smile that would light up a room and he never went anywhere without that smile. He loved his life, his family, friends and he would give whatever he had if you told him you needed it. It came as no surprise that he was a registered organ donor. As devastated as we all are to lose him, he left here a Hero to so many by giving them a life they weren’t certain they would have.
Payton was preceded in death by his “little brother Trevor Jordan Durant”
