Ian Panchèvre and his grandfather, Lionel Panchèvre.
  • Ian Panchèvre spent years searching for his grandfather's favorite Bible verse.
  • He tried Google numerous times and even searched through the Bible to no avail.
  • On the day of his grandfather's memorial he finally found the verse through ChatGPT. Here's his story. 

Out of his four grandparents, Ian Panchèvre said he was closest to his father's father, Lionel Panchèvre.

Panchèvre said his grandfather settled in San Antonio, Texas in the 1980s, after emigrating from France by way of Canada. He was a professional chef and eventually opened up a few French-inspired restaurants in San Antonio. 

While Panchèvre said his grandfather was neither religious nor classically educated, he describes him as a "ferocious reader" and an intellectual.
