Logan Hunter Obituary
November 9, 1999 – April 6, 2018
Logan William Hunter was born in Drayton Valley, Alberta on November 9, 1999 and passed away tragically at the age of 18 while travelling with his Humboldt Broncos Family on April 6, 2018.
Logan grew up enjoying all sports. His passion was hockey, soccer, golf and ball hockey. Logan loved hanging out with his friends, family and had the patience to talk with everyone. Hunts loved animals and their family dog, Charlie, was his best friend. His big smile and little smirk will be remembered by all. He respected his coaches, teammates and lived his dream to play Junior A Hockey. His lifelong dream was achieved when the scout for the Humboldt Broncos signed him based on his outstanding ability and character. Logan liked a good joke, teasing his older sisters and younger billet sisters. He was competitive in everything he played especially Settlers of Catan and was good with numbers. His passion of sports was enriched at the St. Albert Sports Academy and Logan graduated from St. Albert High School in June of 2017.
Logan is survived by his loving family, mother, Shauna Nordstrom; father, Lawrence Hunter and wife, Ginny; siblings, Shaylyn and Shelby; step siblings, Katie, Sara, & Kirk Miles; grandparents, Conrad & Shirley Nordstrom of North Star, Alberta, Edna Hunter of Manning, Alberta, aunts & uncles, Bryce & Shelley Asmussen, Dan & Kari Hunter, Tracey & Dave Black as well as numerous cousins and extended family.
He was predeceased by grandpa, Bill Hunter.
A special Thank You to all of the first responders on the scene, the community of Humboldt, and the Broncos organization for all of their support during this time.
In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations can be made to STARS Air Ambulance, 1441 Aviation Park NE, Box 570, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 8M7 or online at www.stars.ca. A service celebrating Logan's life will be held on Tuesday, April 17, 2018 at 1:00 pm at Rogers Place, Edmonton, Alberta.

On April 6th, 2018, the world was shocked and heartbroken. I'm surprised that it has been almost four months since that horrific night. It feels like just yesterday we were all sitting in our homes hugging our jerseys with tears streaming down our faces. There has not been a day that goes by where I don't think of Logan. He was beautiful in every way possible. I pray for him, and his loved ones, and will always continue to do so. I want to thank everyone that has put pictures of him online, put videos on instagram/snapchat about the moments they spent with him because it has given us the chance to see what he was like. Hear the funny jokes he made, and see his smile. I remember the video Shelby posted of him losing his shaving kit. I loved it so much. It showed us that Logan was so wonderful and truly did love his life. And I am sure he's loving it even more now. We have not forgot and will never. Logan left a special place in our hearts and so have you. Thinking about you foever.

Shauna, Shaylyn, Shelby, Lawrence,
I still can not believe it has been more than 2 months. Time really flies, but unfortunately it does not always heal. I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your son Logan. I did not know him, but watching the memorial services, interviews, social media posts, I honestly feel like I've known him forever. I wish I had the opportunity to be in his presence. I know some people who have met him, and they only have good things to say about him. Seriously not one bad thing. he was perfect in the eyes of so many. It may seem like it is absolutely impossible to get over this, but it is not. God has given us so much and one of them is the power to heal. Saskatchewan is a very special province. We don't have a Toronto, or Montreal, or Vancouver. Instead we have small cities and towns. That can be good and bad. It can be good, because everybody knows everybody. It doesn't matter where you're from, if you live here, we know who you are. So in that sense it's like a huge family. It can be bad, because when something as devastating as this happens, everyone is affected by it in some way. It rips the heart out of everyone. Everybody knew someone, whether that was Logan, Coach Darcy, Dayna. Everyone living in this province had some sort of tie to a member of the Broncos Organization. I'm telling you this so that you know you are not alone. We will all come together like the family everybody knows and loves to fight through this. There is not a day that goes by when I don't think about Logan, or anyone on that bus. It has hit home for so many of us. I've seen people with stickers, hats, hoodies, bracelets, tattoos, literally everything to honour our boys and Dayna. Your son was so beautiful and has left a void in this world that is irreplaceable. I will continue to pray that he rests easily, and beautifully in heaven. I will continue to pray for you. You will always be in my heart. I will never forget you. Love forever and always.
Condolences from Victoria, B.C.

Dear Hunter Family,
It has been a little more than a month, but I have not stopped thinking about your son Logan, and everyone else affected. I always find myself looking at the sky around 5pm each day, and watch the sunset turn green and yellow. I will never ever stop thinking about you and your friends, and everyone that knew your handsome son. Do not ever think that people have forgot, because we haven't. We keep bows on our chests, wear bracelets on our wrists, and keep stickers on our cars, all for you. We will forever and always be here for you, your husband, and your two beautiful daughters. I will always pray for your family. Stay strong, we love you so very much!

I am so terribly sorry about the loss of your beloved son Logan. Although I did not know Logan personally, my son Evan played hockey with him, Jaxon and Stephen at the ODR many times. Evan always spoke fondly of Logan and what an awesome guy he was. We are so incredibly sorry for your loss. Our hearts, absolute deepest sympathy, and thoughts go to your entire family. We are so sorry.

I did not know Logan or his family but as a former teacher I would have been honoured to teach this remarkable young man. Also, as a former minor hockey coach in Victoria, B.C. who had lots of bus trips, the tragedy on April 6, which should never have happened, taking the lives, too young of Logan & his "mates", definitely hit home. Hopefully everyone who was fortunate to have Logan in their lives, will treasure lots of memories. Personal condolence from Victoria, to the Hunter family & friends. He is at peace and pain free!!

Know that I am thinking of you all and praying for you during this time and will be for a life time. Logan Hunter sounds like an amazing human and has won the gold medal in heaven. Know he is watching over you everyday "I can only Imagine" what he's doing. Know that I have shed many tears for you as I hurt for you. I am sad I can not make it to his funeral at Roger's place due to a presentation I have to do at my university not far from there. Now it is up to us to live in a way that would make Logan Hunter proud.
