His father's son...either him or his brother.
My father's father...your grandfather,
The way you worded it, it's either your great uncle or your grandfather. There must be something more to this.

It is a part of us, and then replaced. It escapes our bodies, to a better place. The world becomes its sizable home; its passions unrestraint, the
planet it roams.
What is it?

father's son = some guy you know
so...
some guy you know is my father's father.
father's father = grandfather.
so...
his father's son is my grandfather.
so its either your grandfather or your grandfather's brother.
|
|
|
He's your brother's dad's room-mate's cousin's dog-walker.

The riddle is talking about "his" father's son. So if John is "his" and "father" is Steve that makes John Steve's son (It is possible that
Steve could have another son but this is irrelevant). So John is "my" father's father which makes John "my" grandfather. Easy!

I think what you just said in that sentence was more perplexed than the riddle.
