Hey Logan,
It’s coming up to that time of the year again. I’ve been thinking of you. I know it’s selfish, but I want my best friend back. So much has happened since we last saw each other, wish I could give ya all the news. I’ve also been thinking of your mom dad and brothers….I know you are watching and I hope we are all making you proud.
Love you man,
Joe

To Logan’s family, I can not even begin to imagine your loss. How do I define the Logan I knew with me at Science Hill? I served as his school counselor and I should tell those who loved him that there was never a time when we talked that Logan was not comfortable in the young man he was. When he was in 10th grade, he came to talk to me about courses, and I said “ Do you play football?” He told me no. That started a whole new conversation with us. I knew about his love of family and I knew his love for me…not the same, obviously! But please know family, that as his school counselor and his friend, I hope, that he loved you and appreciated all of you. You did a wonderful job raising him. Logan was funny, kind, and so very respectful to me. I loved him dearly and am so,sorry for our loss. I am breathless at the thought of a world without Logan.
Sorry for your loss

May the Heavenly Father keep you close as you go through this trying time. All our love to you Rita, Bit. Nathan, Julie Ann and April
It was always a pleasure to have Logan visit our home, and to see his friendship with Will. Many times he would ask, "Are you cooking ribs? " , and what a joy it brought me to do so! He was always polite and respectful to me and I looked forward to his visits, knowing Will had such a wonderful friend. It was with great sadness to hear of his passing and I will not forget him!
Nathan, Dorothy, n the rest of Logan's family, I'm so sorry for your loss. But know that I'll be praying for you all. Ask for Gods grace during this horrible situation...love to you

Nathan and Dorothy we are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Our Fairmont Family lost one of our kindest, sweetest students. Logan always looked after others. He was the kind of student who made all those around him feel better about everything. His smile was contagious and he always found the good in others. I know I speak for our families and staff in saying we are broken hearted at his loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and know that he was so loved by all of us! I, personally, still see his little 5 year old smile, happy everyday! I can only console myself and you with knowing our loss is Heaven's gain.
