I'm sorry to hear of your loss, both your grandfather and your job. My sympathies to your loss. And as for your job, is it okay for the manager to just fire you like that? You didn't turn in any kinds of notices, and you had permission to leave.

Sure it's ok. The overwhelming majority of jobs in the US are "at will," which basically means you can be fired any time for any reason--or none at all. Quality employers will actually have procedures to follow, and may even offer a severance payment if you're terminated "without cause," but even then they rarely give up their right to fire when ready.
